Labyrinth - Contact Juggling / Sphereplay

[blackbriar246]

I know contact juggling is usually done with glass spheres, but how could they have used glass when they shot this movie? Wouldn't it crack or shatter when the juggler messed up?

@blackbriar246 They are made of acrylic. Much tougher, doesn't easily crack. However, as you can see in the video, he has a whole box of balls. So incase one does crack, or gets dropped too much that it has lots of marks on it, he can use another new one.

@Betspanker Ah, thanks. My friend was adamant that it was glass, but I was a bit skeptical.

@blackbriar246 The entire set was covered in matts.

@FMBLEACH those aren't Fushigi balls, those are just plane glass balls and he is contact juggling, the only purpose the balls serve is being a glass ball.

@666CorpseRot acrylic in fact

Anyone know the music at the beginning of this video? Perhaps just something made as accompaniment for this behind the scenes feature?

My contact juggling ball broke. :(

That was funny, when Bowie started laughing after he dropped it the 3rd time.

@funnylittlegirl12345 to master it like Michael Moschen has will take alot of time and effort but just in general it is a fairly easy skill to learn you can be doing your first few tricks in a matter of minits
