Well I been able to juggle for a couple years now but this past month I been trying new tricks. I can do 2 tricks, reverse cascade and mills mess.

So can you juggle or am I the only one?


EDIT: I just found on some site that pen spinning is a form of juggling and I have been able to do some trick called the Sonic Normal for longer than I have been able to juggle. This is where you have the pen between middle and ring finger and resting against the thumb then spin it 180 degrees and have it sitting in between your midle and index finger and resting against your thumb.

Jealous? Of course you are.

I had to learn to juggle for my second totemtest, back when I was 15. I had to build a small circustent and do three acts: a juggling act, an act with animals and a magic act.

Didn't have the time to learn to juggle properly, as I also had to put that tent up, catch some animals, etc. In the end, I figured out what juggling is: Keeping three balls in the air all the time. What I did, was find three useable balls, which ended up being two apples and a ball of aluminium foil. I made a hole right through each one of them and put a string through it, tying them all to each other, then tossed that through the air.

So basically, you could say I can juggle, if you reduce it to its essence.

You could say that I suppose. What is a totemtest? Is it something you made up?

Kon-Tiki 12-08-2005 03:39 PM

It's a Scouts-thing... a test you're given to earn your totem name. That one got me Bizarre Jaribu.

Cause you cheated in the juggling part?

Kon-Tiki 12-08-2005 03:46 PM

't Was no cheating, and the names're decided before you do the test. You'll only really get them (or hear them) once you've succeeded in both the test and eating totemcustard.

Iron_Scarecrow 12-08-2005 03:48 PM

Ah. Well technically it may have been juggling but technically it's also cheating.

blastradius14 12-08-2005 03:56 PM

What are you talking about? How can you CHEAT at juggling? Telekinesis?

I can spin a pen between my fingers two different ways. (Not forward and backward, I KNOW you were thinking that LOL )

But I can't juggle.

Iron_Scarecrow 12-08-2005 03:58 PM

It's cheating technique-wise.

blastradius14 12-08-2005 04:01 PM

WHAT? Juggling is juggling, are you talking about 20 some items spinning half clockwise and the other half counter clockwise, and this guy was juggling three items just normally? Sheesh man. Cheating is when you arrange someone to do it for you in juggling.

Besides, that is more dangerous then plain juggling. You can really hurt your self with that, I think several weapons were designed like that.

Iron_Scarecrow 12-08-2005 04:04 PM

No I'm talking about 3 balls, but he has used string, no hand-eye coordination involved which is a major part of juggling.

blastradius14 12-08-2005 04:05 PM

To make sure you didn't hurt your self with it can take some skill, unless he used wire and a post...

Iron_Scarecrow 12-08-2005 04:09 PM

That failed to make sense to me.

Quintopotere 13-08-2005 11:58 AM

I juggle with the pen... so, i'm a juggler :Brain:

And i can do some really professional manipulations with playng cards: should i count those like juggling?

Iron_Scarecrow 13-08-2005 12:00 PM

I don't think so. Well I've never seen it been referred to as a form of juggling.

Quintopotere 13-08-2005 12:07 PM

So i'm only a pen-juggler...

Doc Adrian 13-08-2005 02:10 PM

I can't juggle at all, but my brother used to be able to do four balls at once. He also used to do magic shows well

pity he became a banker..waste of natural talent

Coganthegreat 13-08-2005 03:09 PM

Juggling is hard :angry:

I'm not sure that he's wasting his talent... some bankers actually do some kind of magical tricks... moneys that appear and disappear... :whistle:

blastradius14 13-08-2005 06:43 PM

I can do a magic trick. See? Of course you didn't. The trick was invisible! LOL

Danny252 13-08-2005 09:01 PM

I can juggle if only getting the object in the air once and not catching it is juggling.. hehehehehe..
