Juggling
Welcome! You have now entered the magical world of the circus. Where being weird, strange, and different is just part of the act. I’m not telling you that I can get you into the next traveling circus show, but I can show you a really fun hobby and do my best to teach it to you.
One thing I can teach you is how to juggle. It’s really simple, you just have to make sure you DON’T pay attention to whats happening. The second you do, you’ll start to think about it to much and you end up dropping the sacks, pins, or whatever your using. I suggest bean bags or actual juggling balls to start out with. Some people will tell you that you should use scarves, you can try this, but often you’ll start to toss them up with a stronger force because they’re lighter, and when you start with the bean bags, you’ll toss them up to far.
Here’s a video to help you out. Hope you enjoy!

Leah,
I used to juggle pretty well, then I stopped for a while. Why? I don’t know.
It’s interesting you mentioned that scarves aren’t a great way to learn. The artist-in-residence at my daughter’s school is from Circus Smirkus. He’s teaching them how to juggle with scarves. Maybe for REALLY young kids that’s the best way to start.
Thanks for the helpful video. If I ever get a moment to retrain myself in juggling I’ll refer to it again, and again, and again, and again, and again,…

Leah I might just try those tricks to juggling I have tried before and haven’t been able to do it. My Dad can though and sometimes when we are in the grocery store he juggles oranges.
