This is a collection of video I shot over the years as I developed a routine around the tennis ball and can./nHere's my recollection of the history of 3 tennis balls and a tennis can: On easter of 1989 I was bored and picked up a can of tennis balls thinking, "I can probably throw all of the balls out of the can and then go into a 4 pattern that includes the can." I quickly discovered some of the centrifugal properties of the can and began developing a routine at the Celebration Barn with people like Fritz Grobe and Steven Ragatz helping to critique my idea. At the same time in another part of the world, Scott Slesnick had discovered the same prop, but was doing different things with it. Neither of us knew of the other for years, but when we met at an IJA convention in Vegas one year, we pieced together the rumors we had heard of each other and decided that we had both come up with it independently and had been spreading it around the world over the years.

With Kevin Axtell, Erin Stephens, and Jeremiah Johnston. Mountian Motion performs a dropless routine to close the Show at the Bay Area Circus Arts Festival. California/nA blend of old School and new school team Juggling performance.

Jan/11th/2015 new trick with top head stall and happy new year

Working on a new act, and here is my first draft.

Luke's Monster Yo-Yo Mount (easy mount) - Demonstrated by Luke Renner. Yo-Yos featured the new 2015 MagicYoYo Silencer and MagicYoYo K5. Special thanks to MagicYoYo in Shenzhen! Filmed in Northwest New Mexico December 2014 and January 2015. The Monster Mount is being released for new tricks coming to the StringSlingerNM channel (see the K9 training). Music "A Shot in the Dark" by El Patapsco. Monster footage is in from the public domain from public domain movie trailers.

This is how Ari and I spent New Years Eve. A lot more fun than the traditional sort of celebration in my opinion!

So I haven't uploaded anything on here in about 6 years it would seem, so I thought I'd put up my new ring juggling video! It was filmed in August in this really nice location I found at Kiln Park, Wales while on tour with a show. I'v never really worked on rings as much as i have clubs and balls, but found myself really getting in to it over the summer and this was the result. There were more tricks I really enjoyed but this was all I filmed here, so enjoy!

The feeder counts "1 2 3" to make it easier to keep track of where we are in the pattern. On beats 1 and 3, A (the feeder) and B exchange a pass. On beat 2, A and C exchange a pass. On 3, juggler B catches the pass and walks on four count (rotating the positions anti-clockwise). 1. "iB": The manipulator (M) intercepts a the pass from A to B. The juggler who was B is the new manipulator, and reads from the manipulator line. The old manipulator, reads B's line. 2. "cB": The manipulator carries a club to B. 3. "sB": The manipulator substitutes a pass from A to B. All the jugglers are re-labeled and the new feeder starts counting the 3 passes.

new video for christmas

I got a new 8 ball bounce PR today. I got grazed by a stray basketball and managed to keep it going.

So Johnny and I have been travelling this year loads. This is what we have filmed!!!

Dave and I juggling

Primeiro vídeo pro juggling.tv, espero que gostem, Thanks!

News video filmed in October 2014. Yo-yos featured by MagicYoYo the K9 and vintage Jack Russell loopers.

Juggled in memory of Aidan Burns by Nick Aikens, Jill Carson, Christian Kästner and Greg Phillips at the Not Quite Pittsburgh Juggling Festival, 9 November 2014.

Panto, juggled by Graham, Joanne, Danny and Ed. Part of the Aidan Burns Project to juggle all 27 of his variations to the Scrambled V. Notation: __1__2__3 A: ps ps ps ->B B: ps ss ps ->C C: ss ps ss -> A M: sC iA cB -> M The feeder is "A", the juggler to the feeder's left is "B" and the juggler to the feeder's right is "C". The feeder counts "1 2 3" to make it easier to keep track of where we are in the pattern. On beats 1 and 3, A (the feeder) and B exchange a pass. On beat 2, A and C exchange a pass. On 3, juggler B catches the carried pass and walks on four count (rotating the positions anti-clockwise). 1. "sC": The manipulator substitutes a self from C to C. This takes place while the juggler is walking on four count. 2. "iA": The manipulator (M) intercepts a the pass from C to A. The juggler who was A is the new manipulator, and reads from the manipulator line. The old manipulator, reads A's line. 3. "cB": The manipulator carries a club to B. We found it useful for the manipulator (who was the feeder for 1 and 2) to say 3 during the carry, for continuity. All the jugglers are re-labeled and the new feeder starts counting the 3 passes. Panto gets it's name from the pass from A to B on beat 1, the club is quite close to the back of the manipulators head (He's behind you!).

Now that the JJF has finished, time to start working on new stuff...

Testing the new Play Pro K during our holiday in Italy!

Superman Yo-Yo Trick - Demonstrated by Luke Renner. Yo-Yos used in the video are the K9 by MagicYoYo and the N12. Special thanks to MagicYoYo in Shenzhen and the Four Corners Filmmakers! Filmed in Northwest New Mexico October - September 2014. The Superman Yo-Yo Trick was created by Jason Lee.

Some new stuff that I am working on

Starting off with the base pattern of rotating 2 count 4 count feed, we then add the maniuplators to do 3B (Brook in blue t-shirt the B maniuplator, Steve in black t-shirt the 3 manipulator). Every 30 beats you get back to the start, and so every 30 beats the B/V manipulator (Brook at this point) switches to the other pattern and the 5 people do around of 3B/3V. We do 3B/3V/3B/3V and then try to exit the pattern. Patterned invented by Aidan - see 'How to Steal From Your Friends' at http://www.juggle.me.uk/passing/ where 3,V,B and transitions between them are described. In Aidan Notation (X, Y, Z are the jugglers): X: Ps | Ps | Ps Y: Ps | ss | Ps Z: ss | Ps | ss 3: cZZ | sZX | iXY V: cXY | sYY | iXZ B: iXY | cYY | sYX I switch by doing the second column of the pattern I've arrived in (as manipulator) and then switching to the third column of the new pattern (and everyone responds accordingly).
