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!

One handed forward tumble - A one handed version of the forward tumble
First learn the forward tumble.
With practice you'll soon be able to quickly switch your grip and make it run one handed, as you can see in the video clip above.

A devil sticking video I put together to in a few hours…no choreography, just flowing. Haven't really practiced all that much recently but have wanted to do a video for a while. I have a unique style that combines, spins, traps, contact and high tosses, along with a little bit of smooth style….Stick life baby!!!

This is the one eat-the-apple routine that actually makes me laugh (with the possible exception of Michael Davis).
It's Derek Scott (Canadian) on the Australian children's TV show "Agro's Cartoon Connection" (Agro is the puppet). From the early 1990s.

Hold the hat out in front of you, in an inside grip so that the brim is horizontal, and the crown is on top.
Pull back on the hat as you throw it, so that it floats, without spinning and catch it on your head. Here's what it looks like from the inside.
The key to the trick seems to be to keep the hat level, and pull it towards you as you let go. That and luck, and/or practice.

Upward twiddle (one hand) - Twiddle the hat above the head.
Grab the hat in a palm up fork grip. Lift the hat straight up, 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 forefingers and thumb. Bring it straight back down to the head.

Arm Roll - Rolling a hat along your arm.
Hold the hat in an inside grip, and from behind the head (duck a bit), release with a flick of the wrist.
The brim stays in front of the arm, whilst the crown rolls along it. The easy catch is palm-upwards. The hard, snazzy catch, which extends the roll a little bit, is palm downwards; let the brim roll over the thumb, and pinch-catch the brim between thumb & forefinger. Smile.

Tumble - Tumble the hat over the back of the hand
Hold the hat crown up in a outside grip. Swing the hat inwards and let go so it can roll up past the thumb onto the back of the wrist. While the hat is above the hand keep the wrist bent so the fingers are pointing outwards and lift the fingers as high as you can. The fingers will touch the inside of the crown and allow you to catch the hat in a inside grip.
To repeat the trick throw a half spin and catch the hat back in a outside grip or do a Reverse Tumble.

It's easier to spin a ball on your finger than a hat, so click here to learn to spin a ball first. Once you've got that solid it should be easy to transfer the skill over to your hat.
It's easier with a bowler as the hat will dent slightly and sit on the finger better.

Around the... kendama tricks are combinations of cups and spike. This is the one I call "Around Ireland" Small Cup ~ Base Cup ~ Spike./nBecause Ireland is a small island, it makes sense that the combination is short; so are Around Japan and Around Britain./nIn fact Around Ireland uses the same cups as Around Britain but in reverse order, because reasons.

I have met with Istvan during circus workshop in Pilsen and when I was traveling to Romania I stop by to visit him. We shot this non-commercial video in old butchery in Budapest where by coincidence was rehearsing music band Mindless Game that you can hear in video.

When I originally edited this video in 2012 I didn't manage to fit 1080p into 400MB, so I could not upload it to juggling.tv. I have decided to upload the 720p version because this was an important video for me, should be here./nOriginal desccription:
'Shot during the summer 2012 in Wroclaw, Gorzkowice and Ostrorog (Poland). I know the tricks are a bit too sloppy some times, but I had enough of filming.
Dedicated to everybody that fights against stupid injuries to keep improving, within their possibilities./nMusic:
Amon Tobin - Stone Street
Ghostpoet - Morning
April March - Chick Habit'
