Basic Palm Spin, Contact Juggling

[demeterlol]

This should be easy. I do it all the time a school. That is, whenever I have a couple of balls with me. No wise cracks, please! Or I'll be forced to strangle someone!

[AdamR702]

I did this with my testicles and now have a serious problem any help would be greatly appreciated

[iboozed]

You look like Kenny G. Coincidence? I Think Not!

[mantellanicky]

Any tips for learning 3 ball?is it pretty much the sane "strategy" with three balls?or is it like a whole different idea?

[mr13579100]

my grandpa has these balls that masssage your hand as you do this thing.

[Nunanificent]

I'm having trouble getting the idea of the butterfly to work for me. I can't help but pretty much give it a sleight throw rather than a slide from the back of my hand to the front. I also can't seem to get it to go from left to right and vise-versa, it goes from left to front and it just feels awkward in general. Any tips for me to get it down?

[AmazingKennyT]

@Nunanificent Another practice session should even out your tiny toss problem I think, just focus on what you want and what you do right and wrong each attempt. It goes "front?" If you hold your hand out for a "low-five" in front of you, that is a perfectly fine palm resting point. It should be a very comfortable position. Just practice getting from cradle to palm, and palm to cradle, then address the technical aspects later. Do "Ferret's First Five steps" (again).

[AmazingKennyT]

@daliasoad it is not "hard" but it does take practice.

[mr13579100]

@AmazingKennyT not for me. just saying

[Drunkman82]

I just recently broke my radius (bigger bone in the part of the arm closer to the hand), and after getting it fixed I find it hard to turn my hand to move the ball without having to exert some force with my whole body, are they any suggestions you have to make these slightly jerky movements look smoother?

[AmazingKennyT]

@Drunkman82 everyone's body is different and we all have to deal with every bump, divit, and muscle. Take it very slow and experiment with your finger and hand motions. I'm sure that you can discover a technique that works for you.

[Texan102]

XD I used to do this all the time with worry balls...

[victom111]

i have to use the other hand to make them switch, is that ok?

[AmazingKennyT]

@victom111 that is an okay learning step, but the goal is to do each hand independently. Keep trying, you can do it.

[bizarreiv]

Amazing video. I can do regular juggling but this is something I would like to get into! Again nice video friend!

[sleepydragoness]

could you make a vid of this with one ball?

[BrightDarkness17]

would 2 baseballs that are both 2.5 or 3 inches work for this one?

[BrightDarkness17]

i use baseballs for practicing :)

[WeirdThingsOnEarth]

@BrightDarkness17 thats what she said :D

[bloodspilla55]

Weren't ou on the fushigi commercial?

[BrightDarkness17]

its kind of weird how anyone would dislike this video

[DawnsRage]

I just bought an acrylic ball for contact juggling and was curious how durable they are, I dont wanna break it  :/

[AmazingKennyT]

@DawnsRage Acrylics are very durable, but can be scratched by rough surfaces like cement, asphalt, tile, rocks. Keep it over grass and carpet and they will be just fine. In ten YEARS of practicing on every surface my only two breaks were off of stages onto rocks. But dropping it everywhere else makes it not as pretty.

[aceofclubskid]

@AmazingKennyT I saw an acrylic juggling ball polish (did I spell that wrong?) on...Renegade juggling or something, maybe even ebay, any insight on if this stuff works? by the way were you in the fushigi ball sommercial? you look familliar

[think41c]

@DawnsRage I dropped mine on carpet, then it rolled and hit the wall and got a bad scratch on it. You can buy "Polishing Compound" for like $3 from Autozone and it will polish out all scuffs.

[BakedPotato1]

I just bought my first two set of acryclic 3 inch balls. I'm having trouble with keeping the balls together. Any tips?

[WeirdThingsOnEarth]

@BakedPotato1 thats what she said :P

[Exiled44]

How do you do the 1 ball palm Iso? I can only roll the ball counter clockwise, does that make a difference in palm Iso? Can you please make a detailed video of 1 ball palm spin?

[Wiz101100]

Just use a wet orange there cheaper

[AmazingKennyT]

@Wiz101100 usually, I would agree that you can practice with an orange for some of the simple CJ tricks. But anything with palmspinning with an orange just sounds ridiculous.

[Moses825]

@AmazingKennyT I would suggest chinese medicine balls, you know the ones with the chimes in the middle. Sounds like that would be and easier/smaller practice tool?

[AmazingKennyT]

@Moses825 yes absolutely. Contact juggling palmspinning is like taking chinese handballs to the extreme. Learn to spin with either hand in both directions to learn the motion, then try it with larger balls like fushigi.

[Annihilator97]

@Wiz101100 haha

[zackathishouse]

I want 1

[Btrtoast]

Look! It's David Bowie's son! =D

[AmazingKennyT]

@vance3627 Juggling or magic stores "may" carry a contact ball or two if you are lucky. I've always had to order mine online.

[skillyaco]

@AmazingKennyT you can buy it at walmart thats where i bought mine

[kmoo2]

everybody, dont buy a stupid fushigi ball, they are making tons of money of that peice of ccrap when u can "contact juggle" with ANY BALL! there is nothing special about the fushigi ball.

[AmazingKennyT]

@kmoo2 the fushigiball is actually a good value for a beginner CJer. Dube sells their beginner set (ball+DVD+pouch) for $50. You can contact juggle with any ball, but why are people paying $80 bucks for other special contact juggling supplies?

This is a hobby, like golf. You can hit a ball with a stick in the road. Or you can play on greens with your shiny new clubs. Your call.

[goowy1256]

@AmazingKennyT agreed

[h3lblad3]

@kmoo2

I didn't think it was that much...

I got mine for $20.

[MrFox444]

THAT LOOKS SO COOL!!!

[RADARpb]

SO MANY THAT'S WHAT SHE SAIDS!

[kmoo2]

@RADARpb haha, wow.

[SkylerNE12]

In the video Fushigi Freestyle at 43 seconds that is impossible right. Please reply and and tell me how to do it or can it be done.

[Casper3417]

@SkylerNE12 No, not impossible. He is tossing the ball up and catching it

[bigfish102]

FUSHIGI!?!?!?!?1?1?!?!/1

[martinezguest100]

i used a glass ball and it broke :(

[AmazingKennyT]

@martinezguest100 oops! time to get a real contact juggling ball.

[wvcrowpride]

hey i sorta scratched mine, is there a way to fix it?

[piplup10203854]

You know how you said if your new you might want to use smaller ones. Well where can I get a smaller one and does Fushigi sell smaller ones or is it just the 3 inches? I wanted to try Contact Juggling cause I am good at juggling but I only juggle lol never tried contact juggling before and I would like to try it.

[AmazingKennyT]

@piplup10203854 Fushigi minis are availiable (about 2.5 inches) or you can go for an off brand and get 2.75 inch acrylics.

[piplup10203854]

@AmazingKennyT really alright that sounds good. Thanks

[muffin5641]

ok i am 11 and i am on my sisters account and i was wondering if u would recommend it for me

[iLookHappy]

is it easy to ballance?

[HeadShoht]

thumbs up if you saw the commercial on tv and wanted to check it out :)

[Ninjafruit123]

@HeadShoht Found it from Labyrinth.

[etpimp]

He loves his balls 

[spokie08g]

cool

[CoolBeansStudios]

I love your videos, I subscribed, I'm not even interested in this very much, a bit I mean. But you're just such an upbeat guy, it's just fun to watch your videos. You're so calm, relaxed and happy to do it. :D Great video! I've liked, watched all your videos and subscribed.

[Ayannafuckingnichole]

I love how you smile for the first 3 seconds on all of your videos ^_^

On the commercial,they said this thing can be therapeutic.

Do you recommend it for like anger management?



[AmazingKennyT]

@Ayannafuckingnichole I don't know about any studies specifically tied to Fushigi. I think what they were talking about was hand therapy or chinese hand balls, like stretching and finger muscles. I know that some people find it relaxing, but that isn't scientific fact.

[Ayannafuckingnichole]

@AmazingKennyT Cool.

Thanks.

[Bertziethegreat]

@Ayannafuckingnichole I wouldn't, because if you snap and throw it at someone, you could cause serious damage.

[dutyfan11]

Do you recommend the Fushigi Ball?

[AmazingKennyT]

@dutyfan11 yes, absolutely.

[thebaseballboy32]

are they light

[darkestrose2005]

@thebaseballboy32 not really , it needs to have weight to it so it doesn't fly out of your hand when you do tricks.

[myspaceuser567]

just and illusion

[kmrfrog28]

you move them like those chinesse iron ball things?

[DjGraphikz]

use two you can fit in your palm. i'm using 3 inches....---- That's what she said lol

[YOUONLYLIVEONCE08]

@DjGraphikz lmao... i read this comment right when he moaned at 31 seconds.... it adds to the ambiance quite well, try it, haha

[AmazingKennyT]

Google automated captions are hilarious to me.

[RokoLokoful]

wow your good. please respond. how do you learn that stuff?

[IsaiahTB]

How does Fushigi Work.I want to Know SOOO bad.Please Help!

[ZachZim65]

i dont have a lot of money but i want a ball what should i buy

[AmazingKennyT]

@ZachZim65 Look for the release of Fushigi-minis I hope that they are a little bit cheaper and are better for fushigi palmspinners with smaller hands.

[AmazingKennyT]

@ZachZim65 you can practice the palmspin techniques with golf-balls or chinese handballs but you wont get the same effect for isos. They aren't proper size or weight for handrolling or bodyrolling.

[JoeGonePro]

@ZachZim65 dont buy anthing.. save

[Farce13]

I used to do the same thing with three or so golf balls when i was bored. It just becomes second nature really quickly.

[AmazingKennyT]

@Farce13 yes, this really is an easy skill to pick up. This is the beginning to more advanced palmspinning techniques.

[dude12po]

@Farce13

[LegoFanatic1377]

What are the balls made out of? They sound like glass when they hit eachother.

[AmazingKennyT]

@LegoFanatic1377 One ball is solid acrylic, the other is hollow steel.

[DarkSHadowKinght]

u look like the dude in the comerchal that does the enigma o.o then agine u probly r -.-

[shawntcrittenden]

ur the man dude

[cheezequeso]

Hey! I just saw you on the fushigi ball commercial!

[Redhippo55]

Hey, I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to just do that one ball palm spin looking thing. Where it rolls around your palm.

I can't work out how to do it :S

You're a really great teacher :D

[AmazingKennyT]

I'll admit I am NOT the best out there, but I have dedicated some time into this skill. Thanks very much!

[sketnomore]

You really are the best one out there. Enigma was MAD accurate. I love your precision and accuracy.. can say stability aswell.
