An old video for Marc. The Void performs his newest trick on stage after having just invented it. Thanks to Brian for providing the footage.

Zdeněk Polach (now performing as Zee Deneck) at 14th Cirque de Demain in 1991. He won a sliver medal./nAs far as I am aware, this act is unique in the world. If anyone knows another performer who juggles cylinders or sticks in this way, please comment below.

My new trick - back drop. Enjoy!

Hold your hat crown up in an inside grip with the fingers spread as wide as you can. Throw the hat gently towards your head with a bit of spin. Look up towards the hat as it spins and move your body (and feet if necessary) so that your head is beneath it. As the hat lands, nod your head forward so that you are looking straight ahead.

After getting the hat to your foot (the knock to foot is the most common way, but there are plenty of others) you can hop and quickly remove your foot from the hat. Quickly get your throwing foot onto the ground and place the other foot inside the hat. As you can see from the video the hat stays fairly still and it's you that does all the movement. This video of the hat being spun as it is thrown between the feet should give you some ideas for variations on this trick.
