ad-hoc live performance: tumbling sequences from Kim meet juggling material from "de kegelkunstenaar" in a theatrical way. Made for the occasion as an intermezzo in a full evening dance performance of Footloose in Eindhoven, Holland.

I wanted to film some things which where becoming solid and I wanted to put on stage maybe sometime soon. I also included 2 tricks which are not going on stage anytime soon, but occasionally creep into my practice session.

A new act for a special occasion. During the performance I did it with knives. It was for a book presentation of " vals nest "" Belgian book for young people. Voor de Belgische geïnteresseerden : http://www.lees-wijzer.be/begeleider/boek/vals-nest

David Stephens in his best yet. The second video to come out of college features: balls, rings, clubs and even the occasionally pumpkin and pool balls. Enjoy!

Zak has been teaching himself the Devil Sticks and is getting pretty good even though he's still at junior school. He's learned all these tricks by the ripe old age of 10 after owning a set for 3 years, practising occasionally! He doesn't think he's good enough to put on juggling .tv yet, so your feedback would be appreciated.

(original youtube description)Three of the Pontefract diaboloists popped around last Saturday and we had a bit of a session. This video is maybe the first chance a lot of people will have had to see what kind of stuff the Ponte lot do. In this vid its mainly Minig and fan stuff but some slack knot stuff and the odd other thing gets a look in. Very casual and relaxed is the vibe. I lengthened my string just for the occasion. ------- (I made this about a year ago, it was a classic 'lets film some stuff so that we can see what we should film for a proper video... lets make a rough video... lets put it out anyway' It's long and very fan heavy but the tunes nice. (Oh it's also the diabolo video with the most hits on youtube - 217,960- which I guess I'll have to learn to live with))

The original set of wooden "Guy Heathcote Ball Sticks", as used at, I think, the Cambridge juggling convention in 1996. The routine in this form was only performed on very few occasions, so this is something of a rarity. Taken from old VHS, so video quality isn't great.

This video is about fifteen years old. It's a routine my partner and I continue to perform (on occasion) to this day.

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.

I turned twenty six today. Here's some juggling to mark the occasion!
