Find a Juggling Club or Convention Near You!

Hi, my name is Steve Thomson and I
am a professional juggler who also runs an online
juggling equipment and novelty items store. Many
thanks for signing up to this newsletter!
Find a Juggling Club or Convention near you!
One of the questions I get asked frequently
by visitors to the website is how to find a Juggling
Club near to themselves. If you contact me, I will
happily help you to locate one as there are well
over 100 in the UK and I have all their details!
If you have never considered joining a local juggling
club, then I heartily recommend it.
You can find out more about what a
juggling club is like by looking at the club that
I run which is called Stirling
Juggling Project. You are always welcome at
any juggling club and your skills will improve considerably
by practicing with and learning from other jugglers
in your area!
Juggling Conventions aren't something
that many jugglers think about attending (especially
beginners). They have no idea what to expect and
how much their juggling skills would benefit from
getting to watch some of the worlds greatest just
practicing in the same 24hr juggling hall as themselves!
To get an idea what attending a juggling
convention is like, please visit my Conventions
Info Section which details all the conventions
I have attended (lots of photos, reviews etc). Here
are some details of upcoming conventions that I
will be attending:
Scottish Juggling Convention (Glasgow)
3-5 February 2006
British Juggling Convention (Cornwall)
- date to be confirmed, but likely to be at Easter-time)
European Juggling Convention
(Co.Cork, Ireland) likely to be in mid July for
a week!
There are hundreds of juggling conventions
all over the world and all over the UK (these are
just the 3 that I attend each year), so get in touch
if you want me to locate one that is happening near
you! The above conventions are still being organised,
so more details will become available nearer the
time, but get in touch if you want me to pass on
further information when I hear about it!
(all items are available in the online
store)!! I have now started adding trick descriptions
sent in by people, so if you have a spare minute
to e-mail me some tricks to add to the site, that
would be great!

Top Tip - How to Juggle 4 balls!
For those of you who have taught yourself
to juggle 3 balls, you may have got stuck when trying
to learn 4 ball juggling by thinking it was the
exact same pattern but slightly faster. Wrong!
The 4 ball pattern is completely different from
the 3 ball cascade pattern as the balls in each
hand never cross!
You simply practice juggling 2 balls
in one hand, then practicing a whole lot more with
2 balls in your weaker hand, and then try both hands
at the same time and then stagger the pattern.
Most people usually require a mixture
of the above services, and I am happy to work out
exactly what is best for making your event a success!
You can find out more about my juggling and circus
skills workshops by visiting Performance
Section of my website.
