[quote="he4rty"]I tend to look at the ball and pick up on the reflection of something static in the ball like a door or window, then move my hand around and try to keep the image static in the ball, there are a few blind spot moments but on the whole it works for me.[/quote]

I try this too. It seems that those when I get to those blind spots is when my hand decides to move.

[quote="xdavidx"]how heavy is a gazing globe and where can you pick them up at?[/quote]

The one I got is very light, 170 g (approximately), for 4". I got it online at http://terradisiac.com/products.html?pid=1283.

There are lots of garden decor places that sell these things, and you might find a place that has them on the shelf. I don't know if they all weigh the same, but I'm trying to find out.

A few other sources I've found:

http://www.uniquegardensandgifts.com/Gazing-Balls/69-1?gclid=CLH05Ze7g5ACFRGCGgodv3EWuQ

http://www.gidesigns.net/garden-decor/customer/product.html?productid=1088

http://www.tallgrassgifts.com/MT-S201.html

For all I know, these are all exactly the same. But I've sent emails to ask about the weight of the balls, and I'll share what I find out. And I went ahead and ordered a 5" ball, just because I'm becoming a metal ball ho.

My advice...buy 'multiball contact' and read the chapter dedicated to teaching this move.

I'm not the best dancer in the world, so will have to explore other avenues

done this little exercise with the kids at our juggling club

1 pick a character from a list of people (firemen, farmer, dog cat etc)
2 write done things they might use doesn't matter what
3 go through list again and decide how each item could be juggled or used
4 work out rough routine

we tried it agian as well just using an object

one idea to come out of this was to have a bubble machine on the go and reach in to the bubbles and start to (what appears to be) contacting the bubbles, If only I could think of a way of concealing more than one ball might be quite effective.

[quote="LiquidArtism"]I just picked up contact juggling very recently, but I've been doing liquid pop and lock and popping for about 4 or 5 years. The two practices compliment each other well I think. I'm looking forward to contact juggling with some LED balls and incorporating liquid pop.[/quote]
is that the same as liquid dancing? liquid dancing is amazing, you should do a video.

Thats really cool! although I would like to see some more purposeful interplay between lasers and CJ. however I have no idea what that would look like. maybe I just haven't sifted through you tube enough.

How doing?

Well I was reading this thread late at night...

Pich said:

Quote:

You can also make vertical antispin with 3b1h or 6b2h lifts. It works very well and open many possibility that you worked with 4b2h horizontal.

Funny to see how fast we forget things sometimes ...

I've read this thread at this time (almost one year old), but the above statement by Pich went deep into my unconscious mind...
(I didn't even have a multiball set to work with a year ago).

Quote myself:

Quote:

The first method is so simple and ovious that I slapped my forehead with amazement !! >_<
I can't believe no one thought of it!!
Of course I can be wrong, someone else is perhaps working on it.

Unconscious mind at work!

So: 3b1h or 6b2h lifts > this is the first solution I was refering to as a solution for vertical antispin with spheres!!
F**** hard to say the least, because of the weight of the 6-ball set...
But well worth the work, as I can see in the mirror during my first essays...

Quote:

Sorry... slight overexcitement. Pich's baton/stick material allows him to show his palmspinning concepts on a vertical plane. That's what I meant by 'he can spin vertically.' Didn't mean to cause confusion

You didn't cause confusion for me, instead this leads me to think about it...

Thanks!

I just found this interesting... http://www.stickball.info/stickoomla/
I guess it's balancing a large ball on a broomstick. I guess it can be a form of contact... blended with a game?

Even if you're blind, and wear black glasses, this universal rule of audience management will work...
Look at people, they'll look at your face.
Focus on the ball, they'll focus too on the ball.
Hmm, I didn't invent this, just applying it since years.

Hi Dan, I'm assuming you've seen this..

palm iso gif

Set aside a year or two for practice with this one, sooner or later you'll have them nailed and will be able to do them with your eyes closed, but don't be discouraged if they seem to take ages to get good cos it does take ages!

Hmmm. BMX eh? What style do you ride? Flatland totally amazes me, it's beautiful.

until you mentioned that, I had no idea it was so dark. the dvd copy that I ripped it from was very clear for the most part, but it looks like a lot of the video quality was lost after it was compressed. mrr. oh well.
