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
You make phenomenal tutorials man. You are solely responsible for me learning how to juggle. Thank you man, thank you for showing me how fun it is to learn these beautiful arts.
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...
When you first start practicing it feels like a toss, but after you get used to using just the right amount of force so that the ball stays in contact with your hand without your hand having to chase the ball, then you can begin to guide the ball with subtle hand movements. Thats my take as a beginner anyway, i cant do smooth hand to hand transfers and stuff like this dude.
Great great video Neils . you make it look so easy i have been following your first or this video , and your right, once you get the basics down, its easy, not only that, it calms my nerves in the morning before work, and accurately it has help me tremendously with my smoking, instead of picking up a cigarette i pick up my magic ball, thank you brother
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.
Niels, I've been watching all of you tutorials in one night, it's twelve thirty here and i am trying not to get caught by my parents, again (I was just yearning to do the tricks and I took a plastic ball thingy and I failed, it was my first try, it hit the wall and yeah, still doing it tho, already mastered!) Buuuuuuttt I hope you reply your are awesome. JUST YOU DO YOU MAN. YOU ARE DA MAN. I AM TEN. I SHOULD PROBALBLY GET TO SLEEP, BUT WO CARES???????!!!!!!!!???!!
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?
Great Video Niels, but perhaps the butterfly is not quite the "easy move" to get started. I have been trying for many years and still can not do it. I have watched many tutorials, but just cant get this move at all. Perhaps you might do a "really basic" tutorial about this butterfly move and exactly how to do it.?. Thanks Dave.
A distinction if I may? Just moving from back to front is commonly called the windshield wiper or some such. The true butterfly involves the elbow so that the ball follows a figure eight on it's side like the infinity symbol.
how do you get it i have been trying to balance it on my hand when it lands on the the other side of my palm and i have to stop it from rolling off my palm but i cant how?
You're a great teacher! I'm a magician and tai chi teacher. We have a practice in Tai Chi called Wooden Ball. Very similar to CJ. So I've got an acrylic ball and started training yesterday.
You would be best off starting with a contact practice ball, not acrylic (crystal look) balls as you will beat them up learing and they are fairly expensive. 100mm is good for one ball, but smaller for multiball stuff (70mm works for me). Smaller is harder...Light balls are flighty.
When it comes to the butterfly, There isn't a single person I've seen explain it properly so it's impossible to follow what anyone is saying about it. What's being explained, the laws of physics simply won't allow. I also want to further elaborate that the Windshield wiper will not get you prepared for the butterfly. There is nothing in the windshield wiper that is used to accomplish the butterfly. The butterfly automatically breaks the windshield wiper movement so it cannot even be used to reference. It's also 100% impossible to both hold the ball while bending your wrist/moving your elbow in a figure 8 while the ball is on the back of your hand.
@@NielsDuinker Yeah I'm working on it. Is there by chance you have discord we could chat in? It's not just you, it's everyone. I'm usually very good at pin pointing where things can be improved. I have an update video to my Contact Juggling. Lets chat.
Contact juggling is like moonwalking for your hands.

Pop locking

Juggling. I use this video as a learning guide. Better late than never. Let the Practice begin...
I'm 51 and just starting.
Absolutely loved contact juggling ever since seeing labyrinth when I was a kid. I just ordered a 100mm ball as well, excited to learn.
45 and I have just bought my first ball tonight. wish me luck.
I’m 69 and I just bought my first ball! Can’t wait to learn!
I’m 18 and I also love Labyrinth! I’m hoping to be able to buy a 100mm ball soon to hopefully match Jareth’s skills in the future 😂
I got goosebumps. I have bought a contact ball, yesterday and i will learn this move in the next view days. Thank you.
I'm still waiting for the easy move..
yea same
Hm I wonder when it’s gonna come up
Same
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?

Jareth is just so mesmerizing I had to 😂❤
Yassss!
It was much better than the Goblin City!
This. Is not easy dude
Really an excellent video explaining this really neat skill. Thank you Niels.

Celtic Dreams what type of contact ball do you use to practice?
i love your chainmail videos i just discovered you recently, its funny that i see u in these comments too.
Hey! Try ballcontact.org's youtube channel for moves before the butterfly !
does this work with a soft ball like a miniature football? asking to see if i can get to grips with the basics before buying a dedicated ball
I’m lowley curious how many dougdoug folk will pop up here
Me
Just bought one
me
Mee
Present
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I love it! Keep up the good work! :)
Niels duinker How long do I have to practice my contact juggling
This guy os amazing teacher. I want to learn this. What size ball should i buy? My hand is 20,5cm. Thank you in advance.
Thank you Niels!
I have to do this for my school work but this person has the skills

+WRWhizard Thanks! Yes, in the butterfly when the full arms does the motion it looks beautiful.
Anybody here from DougDoug?
Just watched the fidget tier list video, I want to learn how to contact juggle so bad now 😭
Yup
Same here
What type of ball,how heavy or light? I have an acrylic one but I think it may be too heavy
I’m doing this with a smaller glass ball will it workkkk
I used to always be energized but doing this it calmed my nerves
Does size matter?
Ball kon sa rhega
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!
Does the balls size matter for beginners? Is a bigger ball easier to learn?
Your videos are best for teaching how to juggle
What kind of ball are you using?
What kind of ball do you need
can I use a Navaris Glaskugel? thank you very much
What kind ball should I use?
I purchased a 100mm clear sphere and I'm sooo gigadee to learn! It has other useful means as well.
Please teach a palm spinning in contact juggling
Great idea!
Every time I see something like this it’s fucking godly
I definitely recommend practicing this on a futon or some soft floor padding
Can you practice with a tennis ball
Beautifully demonstrated. Thanks.
How do you let the ball roll into your palm, rather than catching it?!
i got a 100mm ball, are they supposed to be heavy? because in the video yours looks really light lol
I like foot ball juggling
Great video bro
What size ball?
Hey Niels, can I use tennis ball for this?
how do you get it i have been trying to balance it on my hand when it lands on the the other side of my palm and i have to stop it from rolling off my palm but i cant how?
Great production! I would love to chat more with you about how to start CJ! I really think we could team up and make it easier for so many people!
I got 2 small ones is this gonna be hard tonpractice
You're a great teacher! I'm a magician and tai chi teacher. We have a practice in Tai Chi called Wooden Ball. Very similar to CJ. So I've got an acrylic ball and started training yesterday.
Thanks!!
Awesome video!!!!
It perfectly normal to play with your ball's bro, l find it helps me to release tension 😟 🖑🔵🔵🖐 🙄
U got the whole squad laughing 😐
can you use more than 1 contact ball
Yes, I've seen videos of people doing it with three in each hand
would you recommend larger or smaller sized ball for someone new to contact?
about 4 inches is good
It's INCREDIBLE
bro, there's no special shop for juggling in India , so can you suggest what Ball to use with respect to Indian
Look up a juggling store online
hellon where buy this ball please ?
www.dube.com is a good place
Googles "playing with my balls".
Ends up here. "Oh neato!"
What size ball is that one?
100mm
Should they be light? I have a crystal ball but it is heavy.
Piper Katakoo yeah same, I’ve been wondering the same thing.
Contact juggling with heavier ball is easier
Hey Thanks for teaching...what sinze got the ball?
Thank you so much , you 're excellent !
Do you need a specific ball for that?
Or other question, with
which balls does it work?
You would be best off starting with a contact practice ball, not acrylic (crystal look) balls as you will beat them up learing and they are fairly expensive. 100mm is good for one ball, but smaller for multiball stuff (70mm works for me). Smaller is harder...Light balls are flighty.
how many mm does the ball have?
Wait but what kind of ball is that???
Where would i get one of these balls from?
can u tell me the price of that
Hey, what is the name of the trick at 2:29?
Saagar Shah the fact that you and I don't know the name of the trick shows how shit this tutorial is
I guess it's also a good idea to practice this over grass, rather than hard surfaces like concrete, incase I drop it LOL
Hello this video will probably be recommended one day to you so hello 👋
Nice comment
Comment ça en pharmacie
Niels Duinker how to do contact juggling
