Manuel Alvarez, circus juggler of Spanish origin. Featured lots of club kickups.
This performance at the 13th Monte Carlo Circus Festival in 1988.
2-4 boomerangs, 3 clubs featuring kickups, 4-7 boomerang plates
This is a good video for anyone working on kickups, as the director seems to like closeups of his feet!

Senor Wences was a brilliant ventriloquist. This is one of his many appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show - he appeared on the show 23 times over its long life. Juggling was part of his act, and there are lots of clips online showing him doing the tray spinning, but this one contains more juggling than I've seen in any other clip.
He lived to age 103, and was still performing (in Sugar Babies) at the age of 90!

The act is called "Do more of what you make happy" was created in 2013 after a research about body throws, movements and siteswaps with 2,3 and 5 balls.
The main concept is:
Sometimes you have to come back and restart from a different perspective, maybe easier./nI showed this performance in many stages in Europe like Open Stage, Gran Gala and circus cabaret./ninfo : [email protected]

Probably the first video of the pattern now known as the Scrambled V - we hadn't told anyone else about this discovery yet.
This video was shot just 10m from the group photo taken at a convention in 2007 and 2008.
Filmed on a hot Saturday in August (2004-08-07, 13:52) in a gym in Hilden, Germany.

Forward Twiddle - Twiddle the hat off the head and back on. It's got comedy potential too! Allegedly.
Use a palm-up fork grip on both sides the hat, and lift it off the head. Remove the ring fingers from the brim and twist the hat between the fore and middle fingers. Stop the spin by gripping the brim between the fore fingers and thumb.
Reverse the process to return the hat to the head.
You can get an easy laugh by getting the return part wrong and pretending to hit yourself in the face.
Jon Lockwood (of Mushy Pea Juggling fame, now working as with "Company of Fools") did lots of hat workshops at juggling conventions in the mid to late 1990's and started Mike and LP out on the hat road. This was often the first trick he taught...so it's Jon and this trick that ultimately led to the creation of this site. Thanks Jon!

Use a palm-up fork grip at the back of the hat and remove it, straightening the arm. As the arm straightens twist the wrist and take the ring finger off the brim. Spin the hat so that it moves between the middle and forefingers, then transfer the grip to the forefinger and thumb and continue the spin for as far as you can.
Reverse the "twiddle" to place it back on the head.
The main video clip for this trick doesn't show the fingers in any great detail. See the closeup version (120K mpeg) for a better view. For best results you might want to set your video player to loop the clip.

Steve Rawlings showed me this trick in Birmingham and said that he used to do it in every show, but now that he's older (and a little rounder :-) he can't get it every time any more. Steve uses a china plate for this trick, but it works with hats too which is why it's here! :-)
Take the hat in your right hand, using an inside grip and hold it so that the crown of the hat is facing to the left.
Throw the hat virtically with some spin, and then do the following while the hat is in the air...
Put your right hand between your legs
Take the hand around the back of the right leg
Stand on your left leg and move the right hand & foot behind the left leg
Then, catch the descending hat in your right hand, from that position. Without falling over.
Top Tips: Practice the "tangle yourself up" bit first without the catch. Keep your eye on the hat as it decends, practice loads...
Luke Burrage managed to get this on video within 30 minutes. I've been trying for weeks and can't do it. It's pretty hard.

Thumb Spins - Spin the hat around your thumb
Hold the hat in an inside grip and spin it so the top of the brim stays in contact with the thumb. After a single spin catch it again in an inside grip.
Once you've mastered singles try longer spins. This trick is very versatile and can be used to add lots of flourishes. Try adding one in anywhere that you use an inside grip, or just throw one in with your hand outstretched or up above your head.

Twiddled Big Circles - A trickier but nicer version of Big Circles
Big Circles is a big, visual trick, but the grip change can be slightly ungainly. The twiddle that this trick adds gives a similar effect but has a smoother, if slightly more difficult, change.
Mike and LP disagree on the best way to do this - LP's way, shown in the video clip above, is to do a finger twiddle, as described in the Forward Twiddle when the hat is at the top of the circle. Mike uses a Thumb Spin to adjust the grip.
Try both and decide which feels more comfortable to you, there's little point getting both smooth as they look identical to anyone except a hat manipulation geek, and there aren't many of them in the world!

While walking forward grip the front of the brim (using any grip you like) with the right hand and the back of the hat with the left. Stop when your right foot is forward and lift up onto the toes. Hold the hat still above the head and pivot round so the left foot and hand are now in front of you. You can continue walking or turn back and forth on the spot.

5,6 and 7 ball juggling in 1987 at the National Circus of Austria (Althoff-Jacobi). Believe it or not, but when I performed 7 balls in these years I had never seen any other juggler doing this before.
I used tennisballs filled with rice. 1987 was my only booking in a circus, usually I performed in night-clubs, casinos and cabarets with low ceiling. You notice that I didn't juggle very high.

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!

"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.
