old contact juggling (years before fushigi ads)

[perrin010389]

idiota aprende ajugar primero eres un idiota y haces puras porquerias

[totalreason]

I diddnt want to flame this vid, cuz I'm just starting contact juggling, but seriously where are all your areal moves? I mean you basically are doing only isolations... Where the ball is supposed to look like it's floating while your hands move "around" it. But you did no hand rolls or anything. Where's the classic David Bowie move?. Every CJ'er needs that move in their routine. Well good try man. But I am already better than you and it's been 4 months. I was thinking I could never post a

[UnusVolatiliAngelus]

@totalreason LOL no REAL contact juggler would be so ignorant. Isolations happen to be very difficult tricks and even if you dont like them LOTS of people do. OH and if you are SO GOOD after 4 months PROVE IT. cant wait to see your vid. my prediction: 30 drops in 30 seconds. And before you post something about me being an asshole towards you, read your own post again. Silver Paul is one the performers who has had ALOT to do with how CJ has evolved so show some respect. :)

[romeosafadi]

I like your style. Similar to mine, not much of photocopy moves hence pure soul. You don't think of what to do next, it just flows...

Keep it up, and stay original,

cheers ;)

[TheFirstLiquidVideos]

no offense but i only like a couple of moves looks like ur doing it more for relaxing then the magical looking side but then again that is a fuckin huge ball

[silverpaul]

Because i am 'that' good, of course ;)

[secondhandedsoul]

whoa how did you know fushigis were going to be invented 4 years ago xD

[carlostorrentex]

I think it´s kind of boring...

[Danelox]

woooh!!! whit shpongle music!!! :DDD

[luckyburns]

This is really good

[Dood130]

Nice fruity hand movements, just like I like it.

[andrewgbt]

very good tricks but there are some movementes tjat need to be improve!

[yoguiyogui]

si huibieras terminado saliendo de espaldas hubieras cerrao el video cojonundamente

[1Madmoiselle]

the tricks are pretty average but he is doing well.

[Puppila1]

Can anybody explain to me! Why on earth do contact jugglers choose such music for their videos??? Why?!?!?

[GotDrums11]

It usualy has to do wiht the style of the juggler and the type of juggling.

[mythx7]

whats the soundtrack song?

[Fabbs265]

some pretty neat tricks but still kinda amateur

[mrsexrocknroll]

this guy well lame, i can do better (serious) compaired too all over vids on utube that kick ass this guy is so dam amature!

[Grubah01]

Shpongle, i like that :::)

[tracerammo]

One cut, yeah, like one take? Bad mother fucker.

Dude's badass. This video is great. He's really fuckin' good.

[chaz03]

david bowie labryinth

[c0ntactjuggler]

i found it boring, i was waiting for the real cj to beggin, not this 2 handed crap, i know hes a good contact juggler but i didnt like this vid

[xenadon]

Very good isolations in this video, but personally I like to roll the ball more. I also didn't like his style of palm circle. I feel that to get the best effect out of a palm circle, you have to keep your hand still.

[nyxB]

Maybe he's not that skilled, but he performs beautifully

[NicoletoZ]

wow, maybe his contact skills arent that much amazing but his body expression is awesome

cool vid!

[ketchupjester]

Wow, this may have convinced me to upgrade acrylic size

[Beej336]

does anyone know where i can get a stand for my CJ balls?

[tacca417]

shit

[sarkasmi83]

Well, imo he's not that good. Most of the time he's holding the ball with two hands and the ball isn't even spinning. A few cool moves, but I don't think it would take me alot of practice to "be that good". Some contact juggling I've seen though, looks simply amazing and requires HELL of a lot of skill.

This guy is kinda playing it safe most of the time.

[hullaballo9999]

He's certainly not the best, but he's still really good. My boyfriend got a set of CJ balls for Christmas and let me tell you, even the most easy looking tricks are WAY harder than they seem.

[nace112]

is the point of this to make the ball look like its suspended by itself. just wondering.

[N4WWC]

Yes, that, and floating.

[nace112]

oh thanks just wondering.

[YenKaizer]

I don't care what anyone says, because this is art!

[LiveforGod91]

Wow... he is good.

[ndarkened1]

Ya kinda look like Sylar!

[Suuz125]

Stop complaining, its just so difficult you cant..

[skiba13]

vai tomar um ácido, seu porra!

[fogged22]

Their not stupid for having an opinion...

Just I doubt they have thought what skill this takes.

[bald259]

this of you who dis this guy are stupid go get a huge ball like that and do what hes doing.

stop complaining about his ball skills and focus on your lack thereof

[woopsedoo]

I fail to see anything of what you lot see in this. It just looks retarded, with one ball moveing around really slowly. Is this supposed to be impressive or what? My god, it's just stupid.

[kparks2009]

yeah, he's just holding the ball and movin around

[mxchicka]

It's because the ball is made of glass that makes it like it isn't moving.

[kparks2009]

im not saying he's bad, it's just i've seen better. it's boring to watch people just "isolate" it, or whatever... tricks are cooler, but we all have different tastes

[BenJoeForever]

Its Acryllic Plastic - Not Glass ;]

[mxchicka]

I knew that o:]

and no matter what, whatever he's doing, it looks cool. :D

[BenJoeForever]

Lol, Yea It looks okay, not a huge fan of Contact Juggling myslef, but I suppose this is pretty good! :)

[find9]

this shit is ba

[heckshotstuff1]

just a personal opinion: Great moves, but I think you need a little practice with your isolations (according to this video).

I use a line on a wall or a table and keep the ball lined with it giving it the illusion that it is stationary. I can't isolate very well with one ball in one hand though, I can do 2 pretty nicely. Keep working at it:D

[heckshotstuff1]

dude that ball is huge! That must be a few inches bigger than mine. Awesome job by the way, I CJ too. No videos on youtube though, or anywhere. Have you checked out the Silverman's Website? It taught me everything I know.

[silverpaul]

i'm glad you found my website useful.

Another is 3xwdotcontactjugglingdotorg.

[heckshotstuff1]

DUDE! YOUR"RE THE SILVERMAN! Sweet! Yea website is awesome. Your hair is shorter, and I KNEW I recognized you! Sweet totally subscribing to you:D hehe

[vernonclassic]

@silverpaul Bro, i just got into contact juggling....and i really appreciate your videos, i cant do a fifth of what you do, and can only hope i reach your level, PLEASE keep doing videos, you should do a week 2 week lesson series!

[basteri182]

That is sooooooooo smoothly done. It may seem easy but it's not. Awesome contact juggling style technique. Ando for the youtuber viewer named "whataboutthisone" what do you know about contact juggling? If he move so gay, do you do contact juggling yourself???

[whatabouthisone]

you move kinda gay

[basteri182]

whataboutthisone, what do you know about contact juggling? If he move so gay, do you do contact juggling yourself??? Oh and your comment is sooooooo gay by the way and so absurd!

[Pacuso005]

VERY COOL ! he is realy goood. my respects

[jugglermatt1]

Lovelly lovelly,well done.We know each other Paul ever since Wolves in the early days.Will drop you an Email soon.

[chaostagVirus]

ahhaa ma ke viaggio s è fatto il tipo...daaaai illusionista...

[squishoso]

looks so smooth...just like it floats on the air...

[shamanorak]

absolutely beautiful mate, one ball made to look like prrrrrr! thank you for the skills.

[bassistj666]

Contact juggling....

It looks like... a special person... playing with a ball for the very first time 0_o;

Get a better hobby, like real juggling.

[Aaron2071]

ok, I've never seen contact juggling that..unique...but contact juggling is much more difficult than "real juggling" as you put it. Juggling is moving an object or objects in the desired pattern, thus this is "juggling". And there is no "real juggling", there are tons of different kinds. This is just the more beautiful and difficult form of juggling. Check out "contact juggling...beans"

[bassistj666]

HA! You say this is more difficult than what i call 'real juggling'? You fail to take into consideration what i could mean by that... most people would be more impressed by a 7 club cascade than moving 1 ball around on their hand.

[charlieballinger]

bell end... enough said.

[thornnuminous]

The only suggestion I have is to take the audio track off the film before you add the music. Listening to the slight white noise and your breathing is a little distracting. ^_^;

Minus that, the video is beautiful to watch and you clearly have worked very hard on your contact juggling.

[shamanorak]

go on! you do something like that!

[thornnuminous]

I have. ^_^ Check my account. I'm not as good as he is with the one ball stuff, but in my multi-ball video, I learned about how to get rid of distracting audio that competes with music.

[GhostGirlsays]

ummm contact juggling i think NOT!!!

interprative dance I THINK SOOO!!!!

[doctorspanky]

Very poetic. Ballet-like, very sensuous and deep feeling. The music fits perfectly. I really like your choice of clothing. Really alot of interpretative dance went into this. Keep it up. You are a star.

[Plexust]

We meet again, Mr. Sylar.

[SpamFairy]

haha my exact thoughts

[figment98]

im learning but im using a tennis ball for now. I know its definately not what im spose to use but i have no idea where to get something decent. Would a cue ball really work? and this is a stupid question...where would i get a cue ball by itself?

[shamanxy]

A tennis ball isn't the worst thing you can learn with; I've heard of people using fruit. The problem that I have with them is that they are too light. A bouncy ball of about the same size may be a better bet.

As for the cue ball, yes it's quite possible to use one for contact juggling. I bought a 2" 8-ball from eBay for a few quid the other week and it's great fun.

Oddballs (oddballs dot co dot uk) is a great shop for contact juggling balls if you're in the UK.

[shamanorak]

yeah ok! just watched ya video! nice! ya gotta say he takes the piss, i know how long it takes to manipulate balls(yeah i know!) both are lovely! prr!

[boredomsandwich]

Ah, contact juggling. The new tai chi. Lol

Great job, dude. love the robot dance.

[detok43]

yo a GREAT ball to use, is a 5'' metalic garden ball, u could buy them for about 1.50 at christmas tree shop, its real light weight and forgiving as hell if u mess up, real good to start with.. but i started with a cue ball, lol

[stainedpast]

anyone know what size he's using?

[crozboz]

How cheap can you get those balls, im looking to buy one as a gift, but i dont want to spend too much.

[arkwind]

the smallest ones for multi ball juggling are about £17 or $32 medium ones (which is the ones you want to start with) are £25 or £48 large one which he is using are like $60 or £30 upward

[moonifiedracing]

How would i learn to do that and are those breakable i want to learn to contact juggle

[silverpaul]

(3xw)contactjugglingdotorg is a great place to start.

not easily breakable, but possible.

good luck.

[crozboz]

Thanks, but already found them cheaper at (3xw)firetoysdotcom

[arkwind]

if you dont want to spend alot a cheap alternative until you buy one is get a cue ball for pool or snooker that doesnt have any markings on because they are of similar weight

[Adwfilmdirector]

They're not crystal, theyre acrylic. You can buy them at any decent juggling store.

[eddiedaskull]

iam in Portland Oregon and I need some contact juggling buddies to pratice with

[deathintime5]

I wish I had a pair shiny crystal balls to play with.

[somuchlove2give]

how much r them balls

[magician847]

wat balls do you use for this?

[b34rh34d]

crystal balls

[taeliac]

Wow! Amazing - I just started teaching myself how to do this a few days ago, and all of your videos are inspiring! Wonderful :D

[juggleben]

How incredibly rude some people are !!!Way to go dude ..it's beautiful....technique,express­ion and a real love and fascination with what you do...I always enjoy watching you at Bristol ,among other places.Keep it going...it's great.

Ben x

[rodrigolandia151]

mmm!!! is very good!!! but I think that the fists triks are so easyy!!

[Kataz82]

The best

[poofwes90210]

nice job...you need to do somethin about that unibrow though...

[pixelsfalldown]

This is so fluid and emotional. This is how it should be done!!! Just wish you were wearing clothing more "performance" oriented.

[lxworld]

Mesmerising!

[MCchicken111]

nice, slow and affective.

[ptoledo55]

i ALMOST fall sleep-

[theOriginalMax86]

SHPONGLE!!! love the music, so fitting. shpongle rule. nice moves too. im just learning too, so good to remind me why im practicing. peace

[twinkerthescout]

I've got a video on my youtube of my friend doing something like this. It's so neat to watch! =)

[Torichan888]

I had to pause before I could blink, wow

[johndotgdman]

Cool movements. Fluid.

[MaceTee]

Your body movements are amazing, really adds a new dimension to you juggling, nice routine.

[LarsLarsen]

Large balls are cool! They're great for body rolls. Try some head rolls!

[remilaroussinie]

hi master of "isolation" as we say in france!

nice body integration in your juggling!

[proobu]

A "crystal" acrylic does enhance the illusions, but the moves can be learned with anything else that is correctly heavy for control and smooth. Lacrosse balls are perfect for learning all rolls, as are pool cue balls which are very good for palm spin stuff as well; and neither will ever break for falling (maybe your toe, for poolballs ;). A standard softball is good for starting simple rolls esp. arm.

"Just Do It"

[supravista]

Your facial expression (the one some people are saying are "creepy") appear to me to be the expression of one who is intent on BEING the Mystery... not just observing it.

Brovo!!! Keep it up!

What the tune playing... I know I've heard it

[dimmock999]

ahhh y dies everi1 say its crystal, its acrylic

[JamieKearsey]

I don't think I'd want to contact juggle crystal balls for 2 reasons.

1. If it breaks it would cost a fair bit to replace.

2. You may see the future while they spin!!!

[LorenzoXIV]

The 'crystal' ball is in fact made of acrylic. They don't break. They may scratch and chip a little though if you're not careful.

[JamieKearsey]

Yeah I know it was a reply to someone that said the same thing as you.

[BL4D3R21]

He sucks...

[owenparryfan]

You've posted a better one? Where can I see it?

[proobu]

BLD3R21 says "He sucks."

He is quite good--at doing it just like a chick. All that so-o-o sensuous stroking. Blechh. At 1:20 I'm outa here.

[kingpinup]

dude where can i get a man-skirt.... and how long have you been practicing those creepy facial expressions for?

[nephre0]

great performance, perfect music.

[Mariejamiesri]

Okay, this is probably the lamest question you've gotten, but... Where did you get your crystal from? I haven't been able to find one...

[DeathByPain]

I know nothing about contact juggling, but that was an awesome performance. It looks magical, like the ball is weightless and/or floating. Makes me wish I had a crystal ball laying around to try with and realize how difficult that actually is o.O

[astralstalker]

es todo trucho

[kibblezandbitz]

this is a hella nice video

[sevin6068]

heh, balls.

[JakeyThe1st]

he's good but the expressive dance shite ruins it for me

[mormonjoe]

he is quite the ball handler...

[Remia42]

man I wish my single ball palm spin was that smooth! how long did it take you to get that smooth?

great vid and great music choice!

[wolfbro001]

wow. go paul. contact juggling is one area of the arts i haven't touched yet, but after watching that I'm inspired to learn :)

[TureHolm]

hey! I know that guy... go Paul! :)

[froespaz]

whats this music?

[mupman0]

black hurricane, its not fake

its called contact juggling, and it is the art of moving a ball around your body without it leaving it

[k0balt]

awesome just smoked a bowl to it.

you start out really fluid i like it. i love how you built up into pop locking, awesome respect for that glass ball =x

[acideos]

thats not to bad but the first half seemed a little repetitive...mabey i just havent seen enough contact jugging. great job though. wish i was that good

[4fronator]

For him its like sex with a clear ball :|

[blackangel025]

that was awesome i loved it

[wrprince]

not too bad though i think his act could use a little less 80's roboto. also at times I feel like the ball is being molested, but otherwise some nice control.

[Renesh2]

Awsome, pure and simple. You make it look like the ball is floating and you are just guiding it with your hands. You make me want to try learning that!

[Shirito]

Sweet.

[SamTheMule]

you make a palm isolation look so easy! excellent body movement and a revoltionary routine. you are my inspiration to make it past the butterfly and simple transfers.

[smidjepeter]

amazing wat you can do with one ball, I know wath I can do with one ball but not those movements.

I learn from you.

Thanks

Good job

[BlackHurricane]

OMG that fake you can so clearly see the strings =P

Nice video, but i just had to laugh at the movement of your eyebrows at about 4 minutes XD, but great skill and control

[imrational]

Excellent work! I never got past the butterfly and some basic holds/isolations. You were very impressive indeed!

[zezemanko]

you are magic

[kppkkppk1]

Wow that's really cool. You spend a lot of concentration moving your body rather than just concentrating on the ball, which I found a little odd at first but it's a great performance piece. I tried a little contact juggling (I juggle) and it's so hard, but you make it look easy.

PS the tune is Shpongle "Once upon the sea of blissful awareness", on the album "Tales of the inexpressible". If you've never heard Shpongle before you owe it to yourself to pick up a couple of CDs.

[greg3511]

Dude!!!! That was sweet, amazing control, moves I've never seen. You move really well.

What is the name of the artist and the song?

[hallospacegirl1013]

@.@ mesmerising. all right, now i'm resolved to learn!!!! in 10000 years i mights be able to do what you do, muahaha.

[knutschefix]

mhm dunno if I shall go on play myself when I see this

damn u

and great bodymoves and Isolations
