In March 2005, jugglers in Perth, Australia, decided to make a video of their juggling exploits. To what end? dunno. But, now, it is finished and we can get on with our lives. Homespun is a movie that features various types of juggling at several well-known Perth locations.

New poi vid is finally finished & online! (Best enjoyed loud and in the highest of definitions!) Also massive props to Southend Juggling Club for letting me film during sessions, you guys are the best!

Antispun angel

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.

These are a nice varient of conveyor belts. First learn to do continuous. When the staff is falling off your last elbow, raise that elbow and bring your other elbow underneath to catch it by sort of hugging yourself. Give the staff a bit of a pop as it comes off so as to give yourself a little more time to catch it. When you've got that add the antispin by moving each point of the move to the antispin points (watch the video).

Cool scenes and slings around and about Crater Lake National Park (featuring a cameo from Mt. Shasta to the south)./nSling ring is an awesome game where five brass washers are spun on a larger ring and kept in perpetual 'jitter' by moving that larger ring through them continuously. Many sweet trick are possible./nSorry for the poor quality... a better version is on YouTube, oh wait did I just say that... Noooooooooooooo fade to black.

A camera was installed in a diabolo cup and the whole thing was spun and thrown high in the air. You'll see the yard, the side of the house and then the roof -- all spinning.

bakyard video about mixing spinning and juggling

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.
