Although juggling may seem easy at first, it takes a lot of practice, knowledge and effort to perfect it. It is one of the most challenging street magic tricks because you need to keep a lot of balls in the air while moving or changing directions. Many people do not realize how difficult it is until they try to learn juggling. Once you understand the basic techniques, it can become easier with practice. Below are some steps for learning to juggle.
Start with Three Balls – When learning to juggle, you can start by using three balls and a flat surface such as a table. You will have an easier time learning if you start on a flat surface because you do not have to worry about getting the balls up in the air. If you are just starting out, use three tennis balls that are about the same size and weight. This can make them easier for beginners to learn how to catch them in the air.
The Cascade Pattern – Once you have your balls lined up, toss one ball

Greetings to all my fellow jugglers.
If you are just starting out, don’t be discouraged if your 3-ball cascade fails at first. The action of juggling is not an innate skill for most people. It comes with practice and eventually becomes second nature.
From my experience, most people tend to throw their balls too far. The critical thing about getting started with juggling is that the balls should be thrown just high enough so that there is time for them to fall into your hands before the next ball has to be thrown again.
In order to accomplish this efficiency of throws and catches, I would suggest standing in front of a mirror. This will allow you to see where your hands should go and when they need to go there.
When I began learning how to juggle I spent hours in front of a mirror trying to perfect my throws and catches until I was able to do so without looking at my hands.
The next step is adding more balls into the mix. The same advice applies here too: don’t give up! If you continue practicing you will eventually learn how to add another ball
Juggling is a fun and challenging skill that may seem hard at first but with practice and knowledge, it will become easier.
All the great jugglers you see on the street or in the circus all started somewhere and worked their way up. The most important thing to remember is not to give up.
Juggling is a good way to improve your hand-eye coordination, increase your concentration and even relieve stress. It also can be used as a great way to make money while travelling around the world.
This blog will discuss juggling tricks, tips on how to juggle better and other street magic tricks you can use to impress your friends or even start your own street show.
Juggling is one of the most popular acts on the streets. It’s a fun and entertaining skill that can be practiced for hours. Most people juggle for a living, but not all of them are able to make profit from it.
There are some tricks you need to know to start juggling easily. One of the most important ones is to learn how to throw the balls in the air in such a way that they don’t fall down immediately. This is done by throwing them at an angle. If you start learning how to juggle when you’re young, this trick will come naturally because your hands and brain are more flexible. But if you start in your twenties or thirties, then this might be challenging because your brain and hands are already rigid, and it will take more time before you get used to it.
Another trick that’s very important is how high or low you throw the balls while juggling. You want them to stay in the air long enough so that you can catch them again without having them falling down too soon after each throw, but at the same time, not too high either so that they don’t go out of your reach and hit someone or something nearby (like a car driving
One of the greatest things about street performing is that it’s a great way to practice and hone your magic skills. Sure, you may not be able to charge for your performances, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not just as important as those paid ones!
If you take a magician who has been doing something like close-up or parlor magic, and then make them go out on the street and perform, there are going to be some big changes. If they’ve never done it before, their first few performances are going to be full of mistakes and misses. They can easily feel like moving their act out of doors was a huge mistake – the audience is louder, more distracting, and less respectful than what they’re used to.
But over time, this can change. If a street performer takes the time to really understand what works best in an outdoor space, they can learn how to perfect it. The same tricks that failed miserably at first will start working more often as the performer starts adapting their methods for this new venue. This is just one of many reasons why every magician should try street performance at least once: it teaches them how to adapt their act for any type of venue!
I’ve been juggling for quite a while now, and it’s just great. I’ve been to many conventions and circus schools.
I’ll be posting on this blog about my experiences with juggling, what I have learned in the past, and what I am learning today.
For example, a few days ago I went to a convention in Bordeaux, France. It was a great experience and I met some really nice people there.
I’ll be posting some tips on jugging techniques and tricks, tips for people who are just starting out, how to perform on the street or at parties…
If you are just starting out as a street performer, there is one thing you need to remember above all else: It’s going to be hard.
I’m not talking about the actual tricks you might be performing, although that is hard in itself. No, I’m talking about the other stuff. The stuff that doesn’t make it into the movies or even the books.
As a street performer, there are four things you need to master:
1) The Tricks
2) Making Money
3) The Audience
4) Yourself
