I thought of the title all by myself years ago but it got shelved into the cold dark reaches of my brain until I felt I had enough tricks to warrant its use.
Special thanks to Yuki Ituda and Tao Wei for inspiring me to explore the possibilities of tossing style.
This is a trick more commonly done with clubs, diabolos, or devil sticks but I think it translates nicely with cigar boxes. These are just a few of the many possible variations that I'm working on.
Nearing the end of what was turning out to be a pretty lame juggling practice session, I was dead tired and pissed off. Instead of stopping to employ some of my choicest expletives, I continued derpin' around which inadvertently gave birth to a new style of cigar box juggling./nMusic is Yumi-Ga-Hama by Kodo.
Some footage I shot in my classroom for the rec.juggling 4 Ball Collaboration Video. Many thanks to the SCHS Juggling Club President Alejandro Acosta for filming! More thanks to Steve Hogan for editing the footage together and putting in the music, which is Cissy Strut by the Meters.
Yes, this was the first time I had gotten this cigar box trick. Yes, I can now die a happy man. And yes, I'm aware that I screamed like I was getting my teeth pulled out without anesthesia.
The song at the end was the beginning of 'Who Are You' by The Who
