Recently it occurred to me that juggling would be a cool, "random" skill to learn so I could bust it out at unexpected times and impress people. I've been trying to practice with just 1 ball, and slowly work my way up to 3+ balls, but so far I'm getting nowhere. Any tips for a newbie?

It's good to learn a dumb trick like this. Unfortunately, I don't know how to juggle and thus have no tips beyond just keep trying.

I hear fans of juggling and juggling pros call themselves "juggalos", and they have big meet-ups sometimes. I hear they can get kinda rowdy though, so be careful if you decide to go to the next juggalo meeting.

don't worry about opening and closing your hands, right now you need to build up some basic hand-to-ball coordination tie a tennis ball to your face, and swat it away from your face, then keep swatting it so it won't hit you in the face, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP1UBZ6okKM take your time, you don't have to be a showboat or nothing

Honestly, Learn to juggle while your drunk. That way you can juggle while you and your pals are drunk, which is the only time anyone would want to see someone juggle. I hope my sincerity was like a breath of fresh air in this stale swamp of shitposts! Warm Regards, Matey

The only people who think random unexpected juggling is cool are children at parties, or weird crusty hippies with terrible stinking dreads and strange skin conditions or occasionally really drunk guys.

Some nerd on TV said that juggling exercises some fundamental spatial-relational faculty which makes you smarter or something. Good luck on it OP

I've changed my stance on juggling and I now think it is a worthwhile, if not noble pursuit

In this economy, you have to be able to juggle at least eight balls at once to make a living. Not trying to discourage you, just giving you the facts.

My record is 400 catches with five balls. My advice is to throw one ball up when the other comes down. Repeat until you get it.

start with something simple, like scarves, or just not juggling at all.

start with 2 balls hold one in each palm, and let your arms hang down by your sides. Isolate your elbows where they are, and asynchronously throw the two balls just by pulling your biceps (raising your forearms) and catch them, letting your arms drop back down to their resting position. Get a feel for that then go straight onto 3 balls and just keep doing it over and over until you can do 100 catches without stopping. Then you can juggle and start to learn cool tricks like Mill's Mess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8mjr5PZqgM

If I met you in real life is give you some tips like two balls: both ways, make sure throws are consistent height, don't worry about walking forward at first, everyone does it, three ball flash, then start adding more, but I'd slowly grow frustrated with your lack of progress while trying to hide it and it would get a little awkward.

Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff.

Bean sacks against a wall is a good start method. Four, one hand each, to fool the wall is the next step.

I guess it's a neutral hobby to have, just don't get sucked into the lifestyle. You don't want to be the smelly white guy who is always barefoot and sets up a tightrope in the park between trees, and who only ever attracts fat pansexual women who post on deviantart

You watch for 5 seconds and are immediately bored while the guy juggling is concentrating furiously. ----------------
