been messing around with this concept last week, the grip is getting comfortable so i thoug id share a few trics

Getting ready for the show in 1 of the many 5 star hotel we did this year in turkey! There were no mirrors backstage in this hotel so we had to improvise!

Some people call him a noob juggler, which is surprisingly accurate. This is his 2nd year juggling, and he's getting better. He practices daily, and his name is Simon Mueller. So why not invest your time in following him and giving him some support, you won't be dissapointed.

Hi All, I'm now getting to some of the early 2013 videos that I have made. This one was fimed in Dundee and at the BJC 2013 just outside of York. Hope you all enjoy. /nCheers. Peter.

Breaking a record, and getting bidextrous.

The thought of getting the hell out of work and going to meet my girlfriend somehow lead me to this idea a few days ago. It's the first time I've ever really thought about the use of colour with my juggling. Sorry for the shoddy filming.

Getting closer to getting b777 into wimpy but its so damn difficult! Hopefully I will be able to qualify it soon though!

Getting my Stab on again.

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! From the TricksWithHats archive

Back tumble - Tumble the hat down your back and then up again. Put the hat towards the back of your head. If you throw the head back you should be able to hit the brim with the back of the neck and have it roll down the back. As the hat rolls bend forwards from the waist to slow it down. Catch it in a inside grip with both hands. Hold the hat still but move your hands so that they are at the front of the brim. Flick the hat so it rolls up the back. As you feel it on the shoulders put the head back to catch it. Getting the timing right takes a lot of practice...be warned, this trick is difficult. From the TricksWithHats archive

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!

Getting it back from Void after he got it from me who got it from him :)

Christopher is 1 of 4 home school kids who love juggling. Andrew, 12 Christopher, 10 Jessica, 8 Jason, 6 He is now on a few different 6 Ball patterns and some multiplexing. He almost qualified the 8 ball sync last week only getting 1 round of 8 release and collect.

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.

Christopher is getting more confident with numbers.

Andrew getting more comfortable using his feet in his patterns.
