The latest Hidaka's video containing a few try outs of the fusion between Contact Ball juggling, body isolation, animation, speed control, ball isolation and another technics. Filmed in Katakomben Berlin on December 2011.

A very short run of a 'simple' 3 ball trick that's harder than it ought to be! 3 ball cascade, with a clap between every throw and catch. The siteswap is 900.

I practised single backcrosses for quite a while now and there was a request concerning the next song in my next juggling video :P So, here you can see my current 3 club single backcross record which is sth between 60 and 70 catches =)

October 2010 saw a collaboration between the Ministry of Manipulation and Aragorn Boulanger, aimed at teaching advanced level illusion techniques combining Contact juggling and dance. The 5 days of workshops at the Juggling Center Berlin, run by Ed Adams and Aragorn, provided everyone with a huge amount of information and ideas. Everything Aragorn was teaching could be directly applied to the techniques that Ed was teaching. The perfect collaboration... So, where does it all go to from here...? Filmed, edited and produced by myself at Rock and Roll Robot studios. www.ministryofmanipulation.com www.rockandrollrobot.co.uk

Some Contact Juggling done by Me. All of this is filmed with the webcam on my netbook between Christmas and New Years. Both balls are 125mm Babache stage balls aka Jea9 balls

Here's the way computers use the state-space to generate transition sequences ... and why that way doesn't work for people! Plus, there's a human-based way if you know of or can come up with a trick that has states in common with the two tricks you wish to transition between. /nPlease note that even if tricks have different levels of excitation, but nevertheless share states with one another, you can just go from the middle of one trick to the middle of the other (or wherever the tricks share the common state), without any "extra" throws.

Here's the "Level Of Excitation" Method. To use it, you only have to know the get-in and get-out sequences for the excited-state siteswap tricks you wish to transition between. Knowing those, you can write transitions both ways.

Here's sort of the "Human Computer" way to deduce siteswap transition sequences between excited-state tricks. You map out the states, and look directly for ways to get from a state in one of the tricks to a state in the other.

Here's a non-trailer trailer for an upcoming mini-series of Boppo's Whiteboard ... namely, several different methods to calculate or deduce transition sequences between excited-state siteswap tricks. If you know the get-in and get-outs, that's enough to make transitions. If you know of or can find a trick that has states in common with the tricks you wish to transition between, that is enough to make transition sequences. If you know the states themselves and can find throws to convert between them, that too is enough. Also, if you can give the total arrival schedule, if you will, of the entire sequence you wish to have transitions within, that too enables you to deduce possible transition sequences. They all work for synch, too, but the last is maybe the best method for me.

Classic diabolo tricks around the world! Shot between 2007 and 2010 in Brazil, China, England, France, Hungary, Philippines, Portugal and Thailand! Thanks for watching!

Some passing with 7-13 rings, between me and Emman, another juggler at l'École de Cirque de Québec. Filmed over the course of not long, for no real reason other than showing off what we can do after 3 months of not practicing together.

This is a family of tricks that are part cascade or fountain, and part shower or pseudoshower, which are good tricks for learning numbers juggling. They are stepping stones between the easier tricks you can do, and target numbers trick you wish to do. Pseudoshower?! Twin to the shower, it has even high throws and odd period, instead of odd high throws and even period. The four families of hybrids are, the cascade-shower, the cascade-pseudoshower, the fountain-shower, and the fountain-pseudoshower. The inf. pseudoshower 3: 1818181 could have been added to the lower right section, on top. I like all of these tricks, but haven't seen them described this way before. I also performed 8888181 and 8888881 in Ten Years of Not Juggling, shown on the board. In that film I also performed 6: 99919191, and 5: 88171717, 6: 88881717, 7: 88888817, and also 6: 889191, and 7: 888891, which differ in having shower throws higher than the fountain throws.

The difference between staff scissor A and staff scissor B is very important. This is a short piece from Club Motion the full length DVD now available for only $10(US)

Edited footage of practice sessions between March and July of 2009. Some tricks made up on the spot, hence the title: Free Your Style. Song: Portishead - Strangers

This video was and still is one of my prouder accomplishments, mostly because it was released during a time when videos were downloaded and not streamed. They were also fewer and far between, and I think this is truly one of the first juggling music videos, in which the lyrics of the song were used to inspire content. At the time it was released, I won a lot of praise on rec.juggling and despite tons of videos released since then, people still send me e-mails requesting a link to this video. And honestly, I think "Heart of a Champion" will always feel like personal theme music to me. Enjoy and thanks to the wonderful community of jugglers, without whom it wouldn't be worth putting in all the effort to share something like this. ~Michael

Hi to all... this is my new video recorded between Oviedo (mostly), Zaragoza and Pescara during the Christmas holidays...what i want to show in this video is "the ideas" behind rather then the tricks itself (the tune in the song that the girl can't remove from her head)...anyway i wish you like it....enjoy little video comment trick at 1:25 - 1:28...Didac (a spanish juggler) show me it during the zaragoza convention and i put it in that combo trick at 1:55 there is a stick's change trick at 2:30 is an integral (or something like that) i try to film it better but my cam is not one of the best and the sticks go too fast like a triple-genocide trick at 2.55 Sergej show me that simple but cool change's sticks at EJC 2008
