Got my acrylic ball at the start of this month. Learning a bunch of contact juggling moves which got me wondering why I never got into manipulation years ago.

Then I remembered the answer - because poor students couldn't afford acrylic balls.

  • Wow only two weeks and you could do the butterfly like in The Labyrinth! That is encouraging for me, as I have just ordered three fushigi balls. I hope I can do at least half as well on my second week

  • @Thespian80 They're acrylic balls regardless of the branding :)

    You'll do fine I'm sure!

  • Great video =) You inspired me to find the pair of acrylic balls I bought a few years ago (I haven't really used them much at all, and therefore I suck at contact juggling).

    Have you got any tips for training your weak hand, especially for stalls and butterfly?

  • @iidesuyone I don't think I'm a suitable person for tips but well :)

    I'm right handed but I can't do the butterfly or stalls well on my right hand. I think it might be due to how I like to fiddle with things with my left hand while doing work on my right.

    One of the more important things I've learnt is to mess around until you find an arm angle you're comfy with. This means moving your hands around without the ball to find a good position where you can have your elbow remain at the same spot.

  • in 2 weeks? that's seriously good!!

  • @maankindj Hardly. I feel very unnatural with the butterfly on my right hand and I'm right-handed!

  • The fact that you can palm iso so well baffles me. I'm three weeks in and get most of the basic stuff (butterflies, transfers, enigmas and such) but prayers and palm isos are ridiculous...

    Most forums I've seen on palm isos say they're the most difficult isolation to perform so gratz to you. How'd you get it down so fast?

  • she looks nervous
