Glow Ball Juggling Routine for School Talent Show

[thegnome54]

Hey guys, I hope you don't mine me inundating this forum with my juggling stuff lately, but I was hoping for some good feedback from you all. I'm planning on performing with my glowing juggling balls in my school's talent show in about a month, so I've been working on a routine to Misirlou. I have here the very first time I've managed to pull off the routine in it's entirety (it took me about three or four tries, I kept messing up the beginning from nervousness). Since it's my first complete run, it's still pretty rough in some spots. However, it would be really great if anyone could give me feedback or advice despite this. Thanks in advance!

DUDE! Thats some trippy shit man.

I think it's awesome. At first, it took me a little while to recognize the syncronicity, but there are a lot of times where you're directly on point. The only thing I, personally, would change, is the part in the middle where the music breaks down to just the guitar. The juggling move you're doing doesn't quite seem to fit it. If you have something that really matches the speed and uniformity of the guitar picking (so that it seems that your juggling breaks down with the music) I think it would fit much better. But, other than that, it's great. A lot of it really makes it hard to imagine how you could do it with just two hands, since we can't see them. Oh, and you would be any raver's best friend, at a party. Haha.

Thanks, guys! I'll look into that, O. There are a few moves that I either forgot to do in this run (), or could fit into the areas that I haven't really choreographed (like the ending sequence with all of the yoyo illusions). Maybe I can move rubensteins out of the guitar area and stick something else in. The reason I put it there is because it's one of the hardest tricks, and the guitar is epic-ish, but I see your point. Auditions are tomorrow, I hope I don't mess this up too badly *Edit* Oh, and by the way, the reason some of the moves are so off is because I actually juggled to music in real life, then muted the track and fit a new one to it, which starts a half-second or so later. This fits up better with lots of the tricks, since I don't have the entire song memorized quite yet and did most of the moves a fraction of a second later than I should have. hehe.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE Do you have three arms? Wow, I can't think how you wouldn't win. Are you going to perform it in complete darkness like the video, or just dimness?

[thegnome54]

I do, toaster, but I usually keep my third arm in my pants unless the lights are off. I'm going to go for complete darkness, if possible. I don't want them to see me or my hands, and I don't want to see them

Cool! I like the ending. I always thought that was some computer effect, I didn't know you really had balls that glowed.

[thegnome54]

Cool! I like the ending. I always thought that was some computer effect, I didn't know you really had balls that glowed. Yeah, I love my glow balls. They look surreal because they're so evenly lit. If you're curious, at the beginning and end I'm crouching down low and juggling between my knees to get the height difference needed

[ExoByte]

You're juggling the balls between your knees?

[Xaqaria]

You should definitely work in some behind the back stuff so that the balls will periodically disappear.

[wasup]

I agree with xagaria... or have like a little puch behind you and put one in it at one point, then just work with two. But turning around would be sweet if they couldnt' see your body, because if you tossed the balls really high or worked tricks that were very wide, the balls would keep dissapearing, which would be a very cool effect.

[thegnome54]

Thanks Xaq and Wasup, that's good advice. I'm thinking I could turn around and do a behind-the-back 441 pass (throw up two balls, one at a time, then pass the third behind your back) so that all three balls would kind of pop up and across from in front of me to where the audience can see.

That was amazing. Brb learning to juggle.

[Invader]

Woaaaaaa, I can't imagine how you're doing some of those moves with only two hands. I'm going to watch it a few more times. Hah, and O is right, anyone rollin E could watch you for hours.
