Hi Kate,
We did some research into juggling at the Department of Ergonomics at Loughborough University, UK. I was filmed juggling – occasionally dropping(Ha! Ha!). The video on playback showed that, largely, what made a more skilful juggler was not that they could throw the ball parabolically “plumb” into the receiving hand consistently – hence fewer drops, but that the skilful juggler may still throw erratically from time to time, yet that skilful juggler could adjust the position of the catching hand to rectify any imprecision from the throwing hand. The less skilful juggler could not rectify poor throws by such good adjustments to catch so consistently.

The takeaway was that skilful jugglers (and by extension, other practitioners) could rectify mistakes better – not that they didn’t make mistakes.
Just thought I’d share. Brilliant vids – the best!

I’ve been trying to do this with silk poi and they keep getting tangled. Is this my fault or am I attempting the impossible?

The way she holds the nob is not that good (trying to be polite ahh), cause you actually don’t have any possibility to direct you poi. The idea is to hold the nob inside the hand, and to give to the rope to go out throw the first finger’s loop, and to close it with the thumb . Be sure you can direct 100% of you poi directions, and after it hold your poi the way you decide to
