1. This is an amazingly compact overview of juggling culture. I'm astounded at how much they fit into 5 minutes. 2. Regarding magic, one big difference is the ratio of performers to those who practice for themselves. Magic conventions have a much higher ratio of Performers, people who earn their living with magic. The Juggling community has many Performers, but there are at least an equal number, or even more, participants who are juggling for their own practice. Some might make a few dollars if they gig a bit causally, but they don't make living at it. Also there are many who don't perform at all. 3. Eveyone looks great in the video and it's also a handsome production. A question: does this presentation make non-Jugglers want to learn, or does this make it seem like, these guys got it covered and I'll never be that proficient, so why try? To be specific, this is regarding the general viewing audience, and not singular individuals who might get a wow-factor and start practicing. Basically, the question is: what impact may this video have on the general public? Thoughts? 4. Lastly, it should be noted that the IJA is closer to the magic convention Perfomer ratio when compare to other regional and international juggling conventions. The highest profile example is European Juggling Convention (EJC), which has about 4,000 people camping out, closer in feel to a music festival. In contrast, the IJA convention has a balanced emphasis on performing and being a nexus for Professional Jugglers to network, not to the exclusion of those juggle for their own practice. Juggling is great. Throw a ball and catch it. Get some baseballs and tangerines. Start today! You can do it!

There is a separate competitive juggling convention. I think it's called the World Juggling Federation (WJF) 🙌

Yes that's more like juggling as a sport @g33kmotion

3:15 Magicians will gladly teach you things if you show a sincere interest in magic. If every magician taught every trick, then magic would be much less fun.

What happened to the guys who used chainsaws?
@ichibanotedama71727 ай бұрын
Chainsaws are not difficult...5 balls are WAY harder than 3 chainsaws. The community grew up...

Can do a bit of juggling, it's a good eye-hand coordination exercise (juggling five jobs in Biden's economy is fun too).

"Object manipulators?" Get serious. Maybe for the broad assortment of working with things in the air. But flipping several objects around using both hands to catch and release them will always be "juggling." I refer to the classic acts that I saw as a child on the Ed Sullivan Show.

It's a very accurate statement these days, where there is a blend between so many performance art forms... The simplistic term "Juggling" doesn't apply anymore.

If you had a convention for people that drove cars, trucks, motorcycles, piloted planes, ships, and conducted trains, you wouldn't call it a 'driving convention'. There's a similar level of diversity in the types of performers that attend the IJA; You have standard juggling, contact juggling, diabolo, devil sticks, hooping, poi, staff twirling, and much more. Calling all of those things 'juggling' doesn't really make sense. I don't love the term 'object manipulators', but at least it fits better in the broader context of the community.
