Juggling Sound is a project using Python, SimpleCV and Pure Data to generate audio in response to each juggling balls position, which is then output in real time as the juggler is performing./n##ORIENTATION## The video is filmed in portrait, so please rotate your device to view it.

Oh, no ... I hate this weather !!!

Onehanded, Continuous Tumbles - The hat keeps tumbling, in your hand, continuously, infinitely, forever, or at least until you stop. This trick is an extension of the Tumble - so go learn that one now. You'll notice that after you have performed a tumble, you are holding the hat the wrong way round to perform a second tumble immediately after it. This is where the extension comes in. During the first tumble (which is a standard tumble), the hat rotates 1.5 times. The second tumble is similar, but the hat is thrown without a change in grip, it still does 1.5 spins, which means that it is now facing the same way as when you started! Inorder to give yourself space for the second tumble, it feels like you need to throw it a tiny bit higher or faster. Try to make it all flow together into a continuous movement, the hat shouldn't ever pause, the hand acts more as a guide to keep it rotating in the right direction. A nice variation on this is to tumble the hat infront of you, switching hands between tumbles.

This kendama was a gift to me from Mr Maruishi, the president of the JKA at the time. I've never actually played with it until now…/n"Fat" by Violent Femmes.

Sometimes the weather is non-optimal for kendama.

I'm in China this semester studying Chinese, so I haven't had lots of time to juggle. The weather was fantastic, though, so I made a short video of me juggling on the roof of our apartment.

At some point, your hat will end up on the floor and you'll want it back in your hand. You could just bend down and pick it up (boring!), use a normal foot to head (less boring, but relatively easy) or you could use this little move... (Far more studly way to kick a hat :-) Place the hat on the floor, to your left, crown downwards and the opening tilting slightly towards you. Point your right toe, and bring it behind your left leg. Place your right toe into the opening of the hat, and give it a quick upwards flick. With luck (and practice :-) you can make the hat jump up into your left hand. Top tip: If the hat isn't quite in the right position, you can use your right foot to move it around a bit before kicking. Bonus points: Do it without falling over about 20 times whilst filming the damn clip for your website...

Big Circles - Swing the hat round at arms length - and make it look good. Hold the hat crown forward in an inside grip and swing it at arms length - twisting the wrist to keep the crown forward. At the top of the swing let go of the hat, untwist your wrist and recatch the hat in an inside grip, continue the swing and repeat as many times as you like.

Spacewalks and Lighthouses galore XD cause they're the coolest of kendama tricks :) so yeah! I do a bunch of those! Nsync 4ever! *jumps back into my time machine to 2000*
