Thanks! I agree that black would make it stand out more, but I like the more natural/serene look. That's what I was going for. Don't ya love those woodpeckers behind me?

I had some nice comments/tips from people in the hobby. It feels good to finally be good at something unusual.

A brand new one from me. Opinions?

I still think that's just plain cool how you can do that.

Some of those hand moves looked like magic. I have a crystal ball about that size and I know I couldn't do anything like that with it.

Wait - or should that be weight.

There's no way you could do some of that with a crystal ball.

Ouch. Glass = broken. Acrylic = niceness. It has some weight to it, but you get used to that. It's comparable to a baseball. You can learn it if you want to. Check out www.contactjuggling.org/mx/ There is lots of good info there.

Hi Dizz,

So nice to meet you. I just love all of your juggling....so focused and peaceful. Very much like fung shui....is that part of your movements??

Thanks for sharing. How would I learn to do this juggling

I've been working on showmanship. That includes facial expression, body and hand movements to show off what I'm doing. It really does look like tai chi without the ball.

Last night I did this at the park during a community picnic. I got a nice response and lots of questions about it.

Like this? This is my attempt at comedy.

All right! Another video! You look like you're having a fun time there. I think the slower vids speak to me more because I like the soothing quality of your work with that ball. It's nice to just sit and become one with the ball and watch you manipulate it- although manipulate is NOT a good word to describe the essence of what you do. I just find the whole thing neato and enchanting. Thank you for sharing the newest video with us!!
