Hold the hat by the brim with your left hand so that the crown of the hat is facing away from you. Take the stick in your right hand.
With a flick of your wrist, throw the hat up slightly so that it starts spinning anti-clockwise. As the hat descends, hit the brim with the stick slightly to the right of center, such that the stick curves slightly upwards and outwards. This will cause the hat to spin as it rises into the air. As it descends again, repeat the hitting action.
The idea of the basic spin is to keep the hat in the air by hitting it repeatedly with the stick in this manner. I find it helps if you look at the top portion of the inside of the hat.
Adjusting the spin rate and direction:
Hitting the hat nearer the center will give you a slower spin and more height, nearer the edge will give you a faster spin but less height. Obviously striking the left side of the brim will reverse the spin and cause the hat to go clockwise.

The hatstand made its debut at chocfest 7, where I was compering. After a period of prototyping and refining, I built the version that worked. I demoed this a couple of times then it broke. I replaced the elastic and set it up for the big day, used it on stage and it worked, then broke next time I used it.
Be prepared to spend significant tinkering time in between uses, and for frequent breakdowns. That said, it's never let me down when I've needed it.
All in all I've found it a great way to get chicks[1], if you don't count the long evenings spent honing the design and strewing the house with geeky construction equipment, and the fact you'll be laughed out of most nightclubs if you go in wearing a topper. But on stage it works, and it has drawn admiring glances from fellow jugglers and even won us a bag full of croissants on one occasion.

This is how Ari and I spent New Years Eve. A lot more fun than the traditional sort of celebration in my opinion!

So I haven't uploaded anything on here in about 6 years it would seem, so I thought I'd put up my new ring juggling video!
It was filmed in August in this really nice location I found at Kiln Park, Wales while on tour with a show.
I'v never really worked on rings as much as i have clubs and balls, but found myself really getting in to it over the summer and this was the result.
There were more tricks I really enjoyed but this was all I filmed here, so enjoy!

Hom(m)
Un enfermement volontaire pour libérer les désirs
Loïc Faure s'enferme pour inventer un nouveau chemin vers la liberté. Enchaîné à sa cage, il grimpe, jongle, s’obstine et déborde d’énergie. Le corps se forge, les balles s’apprivoisent, le spectaculaire se mêle de virtuosité et de poésie. /nAcrobatie au sol ou sur mât chinois, cascades, tour de force, Loïc Faure pratique un théâtre physique où toujours il jongle. Épris de défis, il cultive sa passion en l'assaisonnant d'embûches. Avec Hom(m), il faudra entrer dans la cage-matrice pour s'adonner au désir irrépressible de jongler. Et comment s'y prendre quand les mains sont entravées ? En persistant, quitte à jouer de la tête, des oreilles, des pieds.

"Équilibre" (which means balance in french) is a juggling experience directed and performed by Nico Pires, filmed in motion by Franck Remy (www.rollercam.fr).
The original song "Équilibre" is performed by Hocus Pocus featuring Oxmo Puccino. Here is the official music clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE8nT8-
The lyrics are talking about the struggle to find balance in life, using many metaphors through juggling, acrobatics and circus.
Copyrights of the song are owned by On and On Records and Universal Music France. Buy the song here: https://itunes.apple.com/fr/album/equilibre/id361784864?i=361784875
Nico is a self taught artist specialized in diabolo, contact juggling and influenced by a diversity of movements (hip hop and contemporary dancing, capoeira).
Recorded in Châteauroux's National Stage Equinoxe, "Équilibre" is an invitation into Nico's quest of balance through the juggling and body expression.
