Dan is pretty amazing. I met him in the local juggling club here.

I love this guy!!!  He is truly amazing and a nice guy.  I have been fortunate to meet him at some of the IJA festivals. I remember him on a lot of TV shows like this one from an old Johnny Carson clip.  Does he live down near you, kevinm?  My son is in Winston-Salem and I get down there every once in a while.

I just saw some of his other videos and he is really good and very funny. I will give his 5-ball tutorial a try (5-ball is high on my new year's resolutions list  ).

The club is in Raleigh and apparently there are quite a few expert jugglers around here. I decided to learn how to juggle last year and it has been a real slog.. probably I shouldn’t have waited til I was in my mid 60s..
Ta0, this is a new tutorial on 5 ball juggling, I think it might be a good one.

Thanks Kevin! That's great!

Taylor Glenn and Mark Hayward are almost the only people in the whole 2020 Guinness Book of World Records that have a whole page to themselves. She has the record for most different 3-ball tricks in one minute.

Jeez, I can't play piano that well with my hands, and I've had lots of lessons! His control is absolutely astounding.

You do know that it's a trick, right?  He's not really playing the piano by hitting the necessary keys with the balls.

I'll tell you how it's done, if you want....

Ball approaching keyboard triggers next note in sequence?

[mailman]

Exactly.  It doesn't matter at all where you hit the keyboard.  You only need to provide the rhythm and timing....

I suppose now you would say it’s a “trick” juggling 36 rolls of toilet paper. Keep in mind though, these are double rolls, that’s like 72 regular rolls!

Not to steal the thread, but I have to post this very recent post by Kanta juggling a ken and two damas:

That Koma juggling is unreal, I subscribe to his Instagram!
Here is another 5 ball tutorial for you, not quite as basic.

Thought this one would be of interest since we are talking about 5 ball juggling

Wow, my feet are never that cooperative -- especially my little toes. Truly amazing.
