Contact juggling - follow the leader contest - 4

[Staragate]

Stage balls are made of vinyl.

Fushigi is a metal sphere inside an acrylic shell.

Clear balls are acrylic.

Silver ones are stainless steel hollow balls.

This thing is pretty cool, Fushigi made one out of acrylic so it wont break. Also, great job. 5/5.

[Staragate]

@MrCubefreak Fushigi's is a steel sphere inside an acrylic shell. It's more brittle than a pure acrylic and the steel ball isn't centered. I prefer my 4" steel most of the time.

Thanks for the compliment! :)

@MrCubefreak all contact balls are made out of acrylic besides the metal ones

I'm just starting to practice contact juggling, I'm an absolute beginner. I hope to have this level of skill after only 4 weeks...as of now, i'm just trying not to fling my ball through any windows...again. =P

[Staragate]

@amadeus5521 It took me 3 weeks to do a proper butterfly, so it sounds like you are on the right track! Visit the website I mentioned in the description for tutorials. This 'prayer' and body roll was very difficult for me. I'm just glad I nailed it for the contest. :)

[amadeus5521]

@Staragate Thanks! I will visit the site for sure. I'm looking for some good tutorials!

[klockemy]

Is the song really 091111? I am on Module Module's website and the one they have they by that name doesn't sound like the one in the vid. I would really like to find it, good song choice. Very mystic. And good job with the CJ, I wish I had the dexterity to do that.

[mason523597]

does it take alot of pratice??????

[Staragate]

@mason523597 Yes, to get to this level. Good news is, the more you practice, the more you can do... and the more fun it is. :-D

[kahlanii2]

:o woa you get props 4 that

[colzia123]

um this is strange



[rapchannel1234]

cool how u learn to do that

[Staragate]

@rapchannel1234 Check the link on the video. Great place, nice community, lots of info

[xD3REKx]

What in the crap is this?!

[Staragate]

Note on Fushigi: It's a manufacturer that saw the appeal of contact juggling and decided to mass market it to kids. It's a serious art form and there isn't a 'gimmick'. No motors, no magnets, no strings. Just skill.... and it can be learned and is really fun!

[LOLChey4U]

so u can get any regular ball and do that?

[Staragate]

@LOLChey4U As long as it's smooth and even weighted. (Water balls are too swishy) You can even do it with a grapefruit and then make juice if you drop it too much. :D

[scar504]

now quick hunny turn off the camera and get in the car before were late for the renaissance fair!

[Staragate]

@scar504 Hahaha! I actually had just got back from the fair. It got rained out that day. That is actually where I picked up contact juggling 3 years ago. :)

[conbgely010]

@scar504 dude u made my day

[HAHA818CHICKENWINGS]

were you get that ball

[Staragate]

@HAHA818CHICKENWINGS I got it at my local magic/juggling store for $15. It's vinyl and hollow inside. Heavy enough to feel what your doing, but not too heavy.

[HAHA818CHICKENWINGS]

@Staragate thanks
