I'm so excited to announce that a little over 5 years after its December 2004 release date, Luftgarten, my first full-length (31 minute) juggling film is available again for all of you who missed it the first time around.
It's an instant $5 download and all sales go towards finishing my current project (already 40 minutes long and still going) which has two small teasers on my channel already.
I'm very proud of Luftgarten and am glad to be able to offer it again, without all the hassle of shipping costs and post office trips. I hope you all take the opportunity to download it because once it goes this time, it's going into the VAULT Disney-style.
Seven sections on this film and two fun surprises. Intro, Balls, Rolling, Kickups, Rings, Clubs, and "Hard Stuff". Add to that "Dance Dance Revolution" and "2 Ring Torture" and you've got yourself a Michael Karas classic. Or should I say "klassic"?
Thanks again for all your support! ~Michael Karas

The title means My own LED Diabolos. I made these LED Kits by myself for a project at school. I am pretty happy with the result of it, because you can see the LEDs pretty good and the colour changing between red and green works fine. I am also glad that they don't break if you drop them which was my biggest fear at first.
I know that the tricks are not the greatest, but I couldn't do any 3d stuff because I only had the time to make 2 LED kits. Moreover it was dark, wet and cold outside and I couldn't see a lot.
Anyways enojy ;).

Short video that i have compiled from clips. Might be good for 2D beginners because it shows some starting tricks/combo's. Enjoy.

I know the title sounds a bit corny but why not use such a cool term? This is a compilation of me performing part of the tricks I've come up with in the last 3 to 4 months. The main purposes of this video are to introduce new concepts and share ideas of tricks and connections between them so please, don't criticise my lack of symmetry or the lack of endurance because I'm pretty aware of it.
Inspirations:
Kohei Yamashita, Stefan Sing, Darren Donelle and Amadeusz Kołak.
Music:
Bakermat - Black Cat John Brown
Gang Starr - Full Clip
Props: Norwiks (75mm and 70g).
Location: University of Victoria (BC), Canada.

Although so many things went wrong, I still think this turned out rather well.
In the 3 ball part, I went 2 minutes and 40 seconds without a drop, which is good because when I did drop it, I was done anyway. And try to ignore the hiss, I couldn't get rid of it, but I think later on it just went away.
I did something special for part 2, I won't spoil it, but it sucked getting that right, and it still wasn't as good as I had hoped. Yes I shook the camera and didn't realize it, but after that it went alright. although my hand was in the way for one of the tricks, (hint, inside elbow stall, then again rolling it to the fingers).
Contact juggling, for the first 2 parts I was standing on some cloths because of the squeaky floorboard I was on. In this part I decided to take them away so I can stand level on the floor....and you can hear the results. If you can get past the floorboard, then I did pretty good....in the beginning. It's weird, I purposely put the hard tricks in the beginning so if I kept messing up

That’s my new 3 ball juggling video. After watching the footage the first time I noticed that I had too much stuff for a normal video. Because of that I decided to separate it in 5 chapters. I think that the structure makes it more watchable.
Chapter 1: body placements
Chapter 2: combinations and miscellaneous
Chapter 3: fork and back of the hand
Chapter 4: boxes and Co.
Chapter 5: bodythrows and bodycatches
Don’t except too much of the bodythrow/catch stuff. Recently I didn't work much on bodythrows/catches. Therefore the focus is more on the other chapters.
Filmed in one session on January 29, 2012.

I just found this clip on my camera that I forgot. It's just some fast improvisation for the camera because the place and light was so nice! :)

i got this yesterday on my birthday with my brand new sundia evolution diabolos from oddballs, and i got 52 catches today off camera. i have many clips im not uploading because i want them to be saved for my 4 diabolo evoution video. i have a 53 sun almost, and a really close attempt at the normal sun. i havent tried 53 really yet, but a nice trick i could learn would be the stall and back into the shuffle. by camvention in october i will most definitely got this perfect. (if you read this far i luv u)

I find this trick funny, because it is almost like the 6 ball shower entry and exit, 789a...b1...a1918171 but it chickens out at the 9s and flees back to the fountain.

This is the longest run I've ever had with the 7 ball cascade up to now. If anyone has tips how to improve the juggling technique or sth else, please comment. Because of the catching speed feels a bit too fast and tiring for me at the moment.
filmed on September 21th with Mister Babache silicon coated beanbags.

This was my first and only endurance practise session. I do juggle often and for a long time but I thought endurance was quite boring. But because some friends asked me to do endurance I finally took one afternoon and what you can watch right now is the third of three tries of 7 ball cascade endurance run.

I filmed this during my vacation to croatia this week. Because I didn't have a lot of time to film and it because it was really hot I decided to film a little story 4, because it only required one location. You won't see any new stuff in this video, but you will see some hard combo stuff, mainly with 3.
However I have come up with lots of ideas since limits and probably will make a new proper video soon ;).

A nice video we made because it was snowing. Based on an idea Ross had a year ago and a pun that we came up with yesterday.

Just a video to show you a new 4 low start, the hover start / ludo, done for the first time by Alistair.
For the one who don't understand why there is a new video, it's because i've made a really bad translation mistake in the other video when Alistair did the start alone. Sorry for the one who were offended

Don talks about his fifty-year career as a yo-yo performer: how he got started, competitions, highlights from his career, his son Mark, and what he thinks of the current yo-yo scene. [Subtitles added because I didn't have an external mic, and the cafe background noise was a bit too loud at times.] Interview by The Void (British Yo-yo Champion 2003).

This came about through me and Tim messing about with antispin contact ideas and trying to work out how to antispin a fishtail. We came up with the antispin fishtail fountain and realised it could be done without antispin (obviously). Surprisingly the antispin version is easier as it doesn't try to fly off your hand as much. Starting in reverse do 1 beat behind you then go straight into a 180 fishtail carry downwards and in a straight line. Because it's antispin you need to move pretty fast in straight lines. When you get to the other side move your hand straight up and then straight across. This needs to be done in 1 beat. Try going through this holding the staff to your hand before fishtailing it to get used to feeling the path of spin.

A tiny bit easier than a matrix because you are turning into the staff. Look at the points you need to start turning, they are when you start leaning back to get it under the arm. Again very hard to get smooth.

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.
