"Pins" are called clubs, it kinda irritates jugglers when they are called pins, that's why so many jugglers correct ppl (including me, lol).

[perceptualvortex]

Haha, true. However I have juggled (and passed) actual bowling pins, which are probably heavier than you think. Clubs are much better tho.

[juggleguy000]

what kind of ball do you use to bounce on your head like at the begging?

[perceptualvortex]

Thanks for watching, juggleguy. That first juggler is Dan Bennett, and he's juggling volley balls, I believe.

Slowing down the video is fascinating, leaving the impression that those balls and pins are not following the laws of gravity.

Thanks for checking this out, Mungo. I find that slowed down juggling can sometimes be really mesmerizing. At one point I wanted to try juggling with large balls filled with hydrogen (soccer balls, or maybe something lighter) to see if that would make for a good, gravity-defying effect. Without causing mini-Hindenburgs, if possible, haha.

[perceptualvortex]

Thank you. Sean very generously showed off a lot of juggling for my camera, both in South Dakota and Pittsburgh. He was a super cool guy.

I know, I too am a juggler and I have juggled real bowling pins as well and they are heavy. I didn't phrase that last comment well, I meant to say that I have corrected people on the name of clubs as well.
