A collection of hardcore juggling tricks. Not a fatboy slim video! Music: 'My elastic eye' by the Chemical Brothers. Find a higher quality downloadable version here: juggling.tv/vid...
Ha.. Found it.. searched every page using 'juggling' as the search for this video, somehow remembered the 'best bits' in the title after a while, and I am here. 5 Years ago I first saw this.. Epic video dude, stuck with me all that time and will forever I think. Great stuff
The 7-ball triplex trick is astounding. I've never seen that done before. Also, the filming for the Flat/doubles club trick is really hypnotic. Great video.
Glad you liked it. I developed an AI algorithm at uni for learning to balance a double inverted pendulum. This is a common engineering control problem. I also made a 2D game to see how long you can balance it. Giving the top pendulum low mass and high damping makes it a lot easier and so I decided to try it for real using a club and a feather. Paul Cinquevalli was allegedly able to maintain a double balance using 2 identical pendulums!
Thanks. The 6 ball synch to shower is actually one of the easiest tricks in the video but I suppose it does look good. I can now go from shower back into fountain. The last ball trick is by far the most difficult. Go look at Anthony Gatto's videos to see the best ball juggler.
Thanks. That's my favourite trick too. Did you notice that I pass one ball round my body while the others are in the air. The music is My Elastic Eye by the Chemical Brothers.
Yes, I don't know what you mean by column throws though. The 6's are thrown on the outside but that's the easiest way of doing 561. I do this trick on double single spins in the synergy video.
today im juggling for exactly one month... my goals for next month are mills mess and 4-ball fountain. im 23. and its okay if you start late... i know jugglers at the age of 55 that still improve their skill, there seems to be no real age limit. if you start with 35 you will still reach 5-ball cascade if you dont give up. try out henry's clubs and bean bags... they are good for long practices and last for decades.
Thomas Dietz is also really good; he ran 7 balls for just 20 seconds away from Anthony's record(at least he said so), and he does some crazy siteswaps and other stuff, such as 9 ball pirouettes - as far as I know. But Anthony is still number one... You, Anthony and Thomas are probably the top three.
Thanks. The music is 'my elastic eye' by the chemical brothers. I don't have time to work on too many different props. Also, I just don't find rings as satisfying to juggle as clubs or balls. There's a good chance I'll be at the BJC.
I've flashed 13 also, but I think a lot of people would argue that being able to flash the most number of balls doesn't make me the best ball juggler. Flashing high numbers is a very small subset of ball juggling and doesn't require much consistency. Anthony Gatto and Thomas Dietz are both better ball jugglers than me for a start.
I didn't link to this from my site. There's just a big juggling community on here and I linked to it from a juggling forum. Nice nostalgic editing on the England video.
To explain something to you: All the stuff that Dietz does, is stuff Gatto can do. Dietz can only flash 9 rings, Gatto has it almost solid. Gatto also pwns Dietz in clubs - and balls - and rings.
I've been juggling for 15 years, but you can probably get to this level in much less time if you practised every day. Yes, you have to be quite fit. The clubs in particular require strength for the higher numbers.
Yes, those were the 2 people I was talking about - although Thomas tells me that the 192 catches was a freak run and he's never got close to that again.
@KursedSasuke13 That's something I invented. It doesn't have a name. You could describe it has a synch stacked triplex from each hand then a 11 around the body with the other ball and straight back into cascade. I don't know if anyone else has done it and so this is probably the maximum number. The 9 ball version would be almost impossible.
If you're just starting then one piece clubs are fine and they're a lot cheaper. Multi-piece are better for more advanced stuff because they don't hurt your hands as much and they're weighted better.
Delphins are good and quite cheap. They're slightly heavier than px3's. They're good for numbers. They last a long time as long as you wrap the end in tape.
My favourite is the bit at about 3:06 - with the two 3 multiplex throws and 1 behind the back (something like that) into 7 cascade. Bet not many human beings have ever done that!
I've been juggling for about 10 years. I jumped from 5 to 7 and then learnt 6 later because I prefer odd numbers. I would advise you to at least try to learn 6 first. You can probably use the same tricks you used with 4 to go from 6 to 7.
The balls I used most in that video were Burrage bags filled with millet. They're made by Luke Burrage. To be honest I don't like them and only used them that time because they showed up well against the wall. The beanbags I normally use are Barnsey bags made by Dave Barnes - but he doesn't make them any more. You can find instructions on how to make them on jugglingdb.
There are no 'prope' balls for head bouncing but the ones I was using in that video were small rythmic gymnastic balls. I now use 5 inch playground balls (dodge balls).
Amazing!!! Those 6 & 7 ball siteswaps, wow! First time I 've seen a 7 ball splitt trick too. Could You make a video of a 6ball splitt? Never seen that either.
Let's see... Gatto does 966 for LONG runs, b6666 in overheads, 7 up in half shower, 7 up 2 stage, 8 ball overheads, and qualifying 7 ball backxx as well as sick 360 combos with all numbers(5-8, maybe 9 too).
I don't think it's so much a lack of fear regarding difficulty as it is a lack of awareness regarding difficulty. Ah well, we all have our blind spots. :)
Thomas did it for 31 seconds, 190 catches, or very close to about that... You would probably know anthony did 54 seconds, right? Or maybe a minute, I think he broke his record recently.
yeah, that's right, but if I were going to be remembered as the "best high numbers juggler ever" because I have done what no other is capable to do (maybe Ben Beever?), I think I would consider not to gipe up (yet, at least). Of course, I still understand his decision.
this may sound like a bit of a strange request, but could you post another big/best bits video. because i would like to see how much better you've got in the past year compared to other people
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. six ball fountain into shower looks really cool and i appreciate the juggling of items against surfaces that i can see the props against. (except for the dark ball flash of i couldn't tell how many balls.) What music is playing? it's good stuff as well.
Hey, peter, have you ever come to a juggling convention in Spain, and if not, do you have plans to do it in the future? I would be so great to see you live!
delphins are made by henry's not beard. If they're beard then they're probably circus specials, which do break very easily. Do they have wrapped handles or solid?
Possible. But I think it's mostly because it's so boring to work on high numbers - I rarely bother doing 9 because it's so hard to get a good run, and even then it's really short.
Of course, but I meant to get it on video, so all of us jugglers can see it, and to officially have the record, and to be able to say "yes, I did it and I can demonstrate it (you know, ego is a bad thing):)
It took a few months to flash 11 but I could already run 9. I think 11 balls is possible for short runs of perhaps 33 catches but not 30 seconds. Only a couple of people can do 9 for that long.
your awsome at juggling and my fav tricks was that 7 ball trick were you just thow them all up and start juggling again!!!! and whats the music called?
excellent video there, was that a five ball multiplex at 2:45? oh and btw have u ever flashed 13 balls? ive heard u have but i havent seen a video of it.
I've uploaded a new video with a short run of 6 balls mills mess. I can run 7 ball shower a bit but I don't like to work on shower much because it's not symetrical.
hi Peter, great video. What kind of clubs do you use, the orange ones. And are the white ones the same kind? if not, what kind are the white ones? thanks!
Too bad they wanted a rematch... Peter actually was the winner. However, my first run sucked ass with 3 catches. My second with 25 was a little better.
This is still one of my all time favorite juggling videos - thanks Peter !!!
Ha.. Found it.. searched every page using 'juggling' as the search for this video, somehow remembered the 'best bits' in the title after a while, and I am here. 5 Years ago I first saw this.. Epic video dude, stuck with me all that time and will forever I think. Great stuff
The 7-ball triplex trick is astounding. I've never seen that done before. Also, the filming for the Flat/doubles club trick is really hypnotic. Great video.
I have been amazed by this video for atleast two years now and just now made an account so that i could finally say well done sir
Glad you liked it. I developed an AI algorithm at uni for learning to balance a double inverted pendulum. This is a common engineering control problem.

Superb video Pete - lovely variety of stuff - especially like the 7 ball multiplex to cascade transition.
Great selection there - I particularly like the unusual view from under the hands.
Awesome Peter! Really liked the mill's mess variation, and the clib stuff!
Always been my favorite juggling video
I love the (6x,4)(8x,6)* and the 756 especially since you don't do it with outside throws like most people. 6 balls is so underrepresented!
Very nice, I especially liked the footage of the 4 club flats from underneath.
Thanks. The 6 ball synch to shower is actually one of the easiest tricks in the video but I suppose it does look good. I can now go from shower back into fountain. The last ball trick is by far the most difficult. Go look at Anthony Gatto's videos to see the best ball juggler.
Thanks. That's my favourite trick too. Did you notice that I pass one ball round my body while the others are in the air. The music is My Elastic Eye by the Chemical Brothers.
yes Anthony's 8 club qualify is amazing. Your progress is way ahead of mine when I'd been juggling for the same amount of time as you.
Yes, I don't know what you mean by column throws though. The 6's are thrown on the outside but that's the easiest way of doing 561. I do this trick on double single spins in the synergy video.

You're the man, Pete! Thanks for sharing.

FANTASTIC!
nice nice, realy good vid!
and loved the bricks behind
good music also
I remember watching this vid on juggletube in 2008 or so ;_;
wow
absolutely amazing vid
great work
i can tell u put a lot of time into this vid and juggling
awesome!
You, sir, are awesome.
I've been juggling for about 10 years. I jumped from 5 to 7 and then learnt 6 later because I prefer odd numbers. I would advise you to at least try to learn 6 first. You can probably use the same tricks you used with 4 to go from 6 to 7.

Yes, the club will be running again from October sometime hopefully. Not sure who you are but I guess you were at the club last year.
@LightweightJackal Thanks. Almost 20 years.
Yes, it's called a quintuplex.
I did flash 13 balls once but I didn't video it.
Amazing!!! Those 6 & 7 ball siteswaps, wow! First time I 've seen a 7 ball splitt trick too. Could You make a video of a 6ball splitt? Never seen that either.
I'm now using bag lady beanbags. I use the ultra-leather up to 7 and ultra-suede up to 11.
outstanding! I am speechless.
funny that it was one of two videos that got me seriously into juggling :)
@peterbone yeah that makes it evan more awsome and you can juggle 7 clubs and 11 balls! your the best!
Let's see... Gatto does 966 for LONG runs, b6666 in overheads, 7 up in half shower, 7 up 2 stage, 8 ball overheads, and qualifying 7 ball backxx as well as sick 360 combos with all numbers(5-8, maybe 9 too).
I think it's ([6x64],2)(6,[22])*
it looks awesome and nice transition into long run of cascade.
Don't give up. I've been juggling for 15 years. I'm 27.
all i can do is 3 ball and a few tricks! you are a master
Haha! At 2:47 you're going 'hop' -or something like that- when you're doing that multiplex.
I don't think it's so much a lack of fear regarding difficulty as it is a lack of awareness regarding difficulty. Ah well, we all have our blind spots. :)
wow your amazing!! thi is real mad juggling skillz without the ego of J.G. RESPECT!!
Thomas did it for 31 seconds, 190 catches, or very close to about that... You would probably know anthony did 54 seconds, right? Or maybe a minute, I think he broke his record recently.
thanx pBone. yur a great inspiration
yeah, that's right, but if I were going to be remembered as the "best high numbers juggler ever" because I have done what no other is capable to do (maybe Ben Beever?), I think I would consider not to gipe up (yet, at least). Of course, I still understand his decision.

(except for the dark ball flash of i couldn't tell how many balls.)
What music is playing? it's good stuff as well.
Yes, I'll be there hopefully.
Hey, peter, have you ever come to a juggling convention in Spain, and if not, do you have plans to do it in the future? I would be so great to see you live!
He was in the ball endurance. He got second place I think, juggling 9 balls for 18 catches.
delphins are made by henry's not beard. If they're beard then they're probably circus specials, which do break very easily. Do they have wrapped handles or solid?
Possible. But I think it's mostly because it's so boring to work on high numbers - I rarely bother doing 9 because it's so hard to get a good run, and even then it's really short.
When you mention it, that's true. To me, he looks like he's about 17-18.
Congratulations man, you are the best!! =D
Thanks. A few hours a week on average for about 15 years.
your juggling rocks
Good technique and practice.
Yeah! I think that needs a lot of practis! Amazing! 5/5 stars :D
I don't have time really. I haven't improved much at all. Maybe a bit with 3 and 4 club stuff.
Wide bodies are good for 3 club stuff and passing. they're heavier though so no good for numbers.
Of course, but I meant to get it on video, so all of us jugglers can see it, and to officially have the record, and to be able to say "yes, I did it and I can demonstrate it (you know, ego is a bad thing):)
It's 11 balls. He has nearly qualified it and may do so at some point. I am sure he could qualify 10 balls if he wanted to.
It took a few months to flash 11 but I could already run 9. I think 11 balls is possible for short runs of perhaps 33 catches but not 30 seconds. Only a couple of people can do 9 for that long.
I don't do 10 any more but I did 15 catches several years ago.
Throw the 6x's higher than you think they should go. you'll figure it out after a while.
Yes, I prefer Delphins. They're strong and light and not expensive.
I've filmed a close attempt but I won't show it. I only show succesful attempts.
A little bit late, but
really great juggling! I love it ;-)
5* + fav.
Greetz
peter if u cant get a 13 ball flash on cam can u show as a close attempt? like over 10 catches
My guess was 18 years the first time I saw Peter.
your awsome at juggling and my fav tricks was that 7 ball trick were you just thow them all up and start juggling again!!!! and whats the music called?
sweet video, peter! I don't know how you keep some of those siteswaps going...
@KARLOSTAR100 my elastic eye, the chemical brothers
excellent video there, was that a five ball multiplex at 2:45?
oh and btw have u ever flashed 13 balls? ive heard u have but i havent seen a video of it.
I've uploaded a new video with a short run of 6 balls mills mess. I can run 7 ball shower a bit but I don't like to work on shower much because it's not symetrical.
"tricks u arent that good?"
hmmm im sure peter is pretty good at tricks its just anthony and dietz are the best 2 ball jugglers in the world(my opion)
Nice job again, and what other songs do the Chemical Brothers do?
@ZupPotatoes1 2:45 is 7 balls. 3:00 is 11.
Elastic Eye, by the chemical brothers
that's some crazy stuff!
wow amazing juggling...11 ball 1 up 360 has to be the hardest or the only trick ever done with 11 balls
He told me he doesn't work much on it anymore.
uh... it says "Music: 'My elastic eye' by the Chemical Brothers." in the description.
56 catches is my best. Around 40 most sessions.
Thats awesome
Compliments
alright, thanks for the advice!
My first run wasn't much better than yours - only about 10 catches. Ben won fair and square. I always seem to lose the ability to juggle in the games.
hi Peter, great video. What kind of clubs do you use, the orange ones. And are the white ones the same kind? if not, what kind are the white ones? thanks!
Too bad they wanted a rematch... Peter actually was the winner. However, my first run sucked ass with 3 catches. My second with 25 was a little better.
bloody brilliant. how long have you been juggling?
It helped me. What is ur 5 ball record? it should be 250 before you do(6x, 4) cos you might ruin our control.
