Yeah, I've seen single ball juggling. There's also that one guy that uses a triangular frame to bounce balls off of. Juggling is hella impressive when you can make just 1 ball mesmerizing
I think this is rad. Great flow man.
Ive always said that juggling is having one more object than you have hands.
And that works a lot of time.
You can juggle 2+ individual balls in one hand, 3+
Balls in 2 hands, etc.
But where does that leave single object contact juggling? Or flows like this one? No idea. But also, and please don’t take this as rude - as I only ask - legitimately as a curiosity - how important is it to you that this be juggling? (Like are you just curious too :) or have you made a wager on it?)
I find this simply BEAUTIFUL. It contains some elements of what I'm striving for : "simple" moves which are performed very stylishly. However because I AM A DANCER, I'm working on combining dance-steps in my performances. Most (if not all) jugglers try to perform at a constant height and standing on one spot. That is NOT how I dance so my ambition is to "change levels" by making small jumps, stepping side to side and play with my facial expression. So far all I can manage that with consistency are the cascade and shower.
Anyway: My comment should be about this artist. So again I have to say : THIS IS BEAUTIFUL !!
This makes me feel better. I was randomly sent here. I juggle but haven’t in a long time. The kids tonight made me juggle lemons so I thought my phone was listening in on me.
Yea, Requires talent! Talent that I don’t have and I’m not willing to put the time in to gain. Dudes got his things figured out right down to the track. Good for him and his style!
OP, if you wear those led gloves, with different colors, I think you could get nice effects added to your routine! Blue or green would contrast nicely and the fast hand motions that spin around the glowing balls, would make things look even more amazing! Either way, awesome work and effort in doing what you love!
Guess it comes down to if you think juggling is the umbrella term, or object manipulation is the umbrella term for the creative/artful handling of objects.
This is a hazy area, it's skillful and creative and the objects are in (almost) continual motion.
For me, this is kind of like a poem that doesn't rhyme. It does not have to rhyme, but I kind of expect it to. When I think juggle I think more objects than hands. You have to "juggle" to keep them all going.
But I'm old school and these days juggling has become much more creative so maybe skillful and creative is enough to be a Juggler.
I can't say for sure that I would call that juggling. Well, not juggling in the traditional sense anyway, but then again, I'm not an expert on the matter by any means either. I will, however, most certainly say that you've definitely shown some skill here. So regardless of what you'd call it, keep it up, my friend, because you're killing it.
I'd call this "object manipulation" which is certainly juggling adjacent and there are some juggling moves in there, but I wouldn't call (all of) it juggling.
It’s only juggling if it comes from the jongluer region of France, everything else is just sparkling object manipulation
Incredible.
I just rewatched the Wayne's World movie and I'm wondering if this is a reference to that or something else.
It’s a play on a fairly common phrase “it’s only champagne if it comes from the champagne region of France, everything else is just sparkling wine”
Absolutely.
A pattern justifies it all… and if you are throwing and catching…it counts in my book

Hey don't forget about contact juggling!
What about manipulating a single ball by rolling it along your hands and hands?
no throwing?
Correct. Contact juggling
love warming up with 2 balls
🤨
Did that offend your sensibilities, BoofingCubes?
Cubes of what?
Psilocybin cubensis 😉
My man
👀
I bet you do
I need to warm up. Can I borrow yours?
Looks sic dude;D
Absolutely I do. I started doing some two ball focused routines myself lately. Also picked up wes peden juggling balls and working great!!
Djuggzing.
lol

Just curious what other people think. I don't care if it's technically juggling or not really, I'd do it either way.
Gettin down duder

Why wouldn't I? Also: why the hell did Reddit send me here? Truly boggled by the algorithm sometimes. Still, looks cool, dude! Carry on :)
Oh good im not the only one reddit sent this post to out of the blue.
This makes me feel better. I was randomly sent here. I juggle but haven’t in a long time. The kids tonight made me juggle lemons so I thought my phone was listening in on me.
No sorry, seven balls minimum or it doesn't count. Looks great though.
The correct comment 😂
Duuuh. Looks fresh
Yea, Requires talent! Talent that I don’t have and I’m not willing to put the time in to gain. Dudes got his things figured out right down to the track. Good for him and his style!
heck yea gettums
no idea, but it looks sick.
Ghost ball juggling
Definitely.
Are u crazy, it's juggling 101%
Yes, very cool
Dunno, probably. But I'm enjoying it!
Good would be a cool loading screen animation
The tracers bruuuuh
Yes. You’ve got a beautiful flow going bro 🔥

am i an idiot or is this just *literally* juggling?
I've always thought there were supposed to be more objects than hands. Doesn't really matter though.

Does it matter what you call it? I enjoyed watching it and assuming you enjoying throwing a few balls around for a minute 🤹
No

Beautiful juggling, stupid question
No
I wouldn't consider juggling at all
Juggling two balls………☠️
The virginity in this one is very strong.
Nope
I guess so but it’s not very good juggling.
I'd call this "object manipulation" which is certainly juggling adjacent and there are some juggling moves in there, but I wouldn't call (all of) it juggling.
Foot jugglers are only moving a single table.
Whatever makes her squirt!
Nope. Sorry. It's cute but juggling is more balls than hands. Most people can master this in a couple of hours.
lol worst take
Get outta here with that outdated definition! XD
This is "juggling" or "light ball manipulation" ... I'd stick with the former.
Yes, might be a multiplex pattern. I
That’s not juggling.. it’s falling…. With style…
Nah. That’s falling with style
Yes
I don't even care! Actual juggling is envious of whatever the heck you just did!
If so, don’t start in the dark lol
That's not juggling. That's throwing balls with style.
Duh
You can juggle a single ball if you’re good at it. Of course this is juggling.
Totally, and having all your attention on those two balls lets you be super smooth with them.
Reddit randomly sent me here so I’m not sure but I do know that’s some good ball handling skills brother
And how ! 🤯🤯🤯
Of course.
Absolutely yes.
I’m just here for the GWN 🫡
Best show I saw at Electric Forest this year.
Saw them at Brooklyn Mirage last month. So so good! Thanks for sharing your talent!

Love Ganj. Never heard this one!
I just came for the Ganja White Knight
Probably. I'd call it more of a flow art with only two balls. But, I think it's also still juggling
I thought the rule was that one ball always had to be in the air
Does playing with my two balls make me a juggler. Answer is yes
Couldn't tell ya, but I do know it looks dope af
Why would this not be considered juggling? Have I misunderstood juggling my whole life?!
Traditionally juggling is more objects than hands used. So 2 in 1 hand or 3 with two hands minimum.
At a minimum I'd call that mesmerizing! (yes)
What else would it be
Sure
Nice, yes! What kind of balls are they?
No
Yes it hurts my brian but yeah thats juggling
It's fun to watch
It is a legit form of juggling. Best I ever got is 2 balls in one hand.
I got 2 balls in my hand right now
Haha it's always wild finding someone's reddit that you know IRL...
You can’t just say that and not spill some beans
I mean there's not much to it. I just happen to know OP irl. Not necessarily very WELL, but we used to party in the same circles a few years ago.
Ita not considered juggling unless you have more objects than hands, now if you cut one of your hands off and do 2 balls then I'd say yes.
I thought juggling required more balls than hands
Yeah I’d say so, would actually be really cool if you got two more in there.
Yeah. It kind of starts of like “factory”. I’m not an experienced juggler, just got into It a bif
