Contact juggling is like moonwalking for your hands.

I'm learning this for one reason and one reason only:
I gotta impress the Goblin King.

I do juggling more than 25 years, balls, clubs, flower or devil sticks, diabolo, but, from the first second i managed to do my first (contact trick i mean) butterfly, contact juggling became by far my favorite.
It was nice to see someone performing and reminding me, from where i started.
Have a nice day man

Wow I just bought a 100mm ball I'm 41 and been in Love with the
Labyrinth movie since I was 11yrs old, just because of the Contact
Juggling. I use this video as a learning guide. Better late than never. Let the Practice begin...

Hey, thanks so much for this video. I just got my first ball today and this is really helping me get started!!! Thank you sooo much

This video is 8 years old but I just started now and it's very helpful! I bought a Sil-X ball, a chrome ball and an acrylic ball to see which one is easiest for me. The chrome and acrylic feel easier to control but OUCH! Doing it over and over again is quite painful on my knuckles, especially the chrome. I guess it might be best to start with Sil-X after all. If I can learn how to control that and keep it from rolling off my hands every time I catch it on the backhand, I'm sure transitioning to heavier ones will be easier. Hopefully I'll learn the smooth movements so there's not much bouncing and hitting of my bones.

So... basically, the butterfly is a toss traced by constant contact with the hand, thereby giving the illusion of rolling up and down the hand?

Really an excellent video explaining this really neat skill. Thank you Niels.

[mihiravp]

Your videos are best for teaching how to juggle

[madszv]

im learning how to contact juggle and have a sort of glass-like ball, so its heavy, and im struggling a little but thank you for the tutorial!

[ItsCrowleysCorner]

Hi, do I need a special ball? I know how to juggle 2 balls no problem, moving onto three is my next goal. I learned how to juggle as a kid. I'm ordering the led balls from Amazon to continue practicing but look cool while doing it. 😆 I'd like to learn contact juggling next. Will the balls I'm ordering suffice?
