_white & black, clear & silver, stasis & slides_ _Our fellow video bloggers over at the Ministry of Manipulation have thrown this little gem our way. Ryan has put together this really lovely promo video showing off his cool CJ skills. When as much attention to detail is given to the video as the skills, the result should be this fantastic.

Jtv says_ Fun. Skill. Style. Boxtastic.

Jtv says_ _muscles! # Sometimes we see jugglers who can do stuff we can't. Often we tell ourselves "I could do that if I just practised enough...". But other times you just know..."No!" It's muscle week in the vaults, so bulge your biceps at these behemoths: Valentin Dikul - Jeanin Lionet -Oleg Teplitski

_Guest blogger Guy Heathcote says: The lasso/juggling section of this film actually turns out to be rare footage of one of the 'wild west' shows that were once presented by the Shufflebottom family on the fairgrounds of Great Britain. Although there were several such shows, this is thought to be the Texan Cowboys Show presented by Wally Shufflebottom, as that was the only unit that would have opened at Mitcham. It has been suggested that the performer shown is either Wally Shufflebottom, or his father. Of course, live shows have now all-but died out on modern fairgrounds, so this is a really nice bit of history. It's thought that the showfront seen in the video was last used in the 1970s and has since rotted away in storage. For a bit more information about these shows, see page 11 of this PDF from the National Fairground Archive. Thanks to Eugene Sloan and the Shufflebottom family for providing me with the information and, of course, to 'Trawler' for posting it in the first place.

JTV says_ Yeah, ok, sure, this is one of our videos, but it's not about us, it's all about William. Great stage presence, and great skills.

Jtv says_ _feel the vibes > Why do we make juggling videos? _ Hopefully one of the major reasons is.... for people to watch them. And once we've got that far, it'd be nice if they liked them too. Well, here's a few videos from Ricky that we like. They've all got a really nice vibe to them. Maybe we're just suckers for a groovy tune, but hey.... we dig.

Jtv says_ One shot wonder. The fine line between art and foolery is in here somewhere. We wonder if there's an out-takes video....

Jtv says_ Funn(k)y monkey ^Those TV folks just can't get enough of us lot - Here's some more Juggler Talent. Looking like the bastard child of Biggles and Young Einstein, here's Nono giving a great clowning performance to the masses. Everyone loves a monkey. Cuppa PG anyone? One day, there'll be a talent show format where the performers get to vote off the audience. Bring it on!
