Hi!

Here are the sites that got me started:

As far as teaching materials go, you can't go wrong with "Contact Juggling", by James Ernest. I'm in the UK, so here's where I got my copy and ball from:

http://www.oddballs.co.uk/

As a side note, I went to see Cirque Du Soleil's latest show, "Dralion" last night. Around halfway through, they brought on a contact juggler who kept the whole Albert Hall spellbound with a five-minute, seven-ball routine. It was absolutely breathtaking and, as a contact juggler myself (for all of a month, that is), one of the highlights of the show for me.

Cheers (and good luck),

Cy.

Or you can get James Ernest Contact Juggling directly from Mr Ernest himself at

http://www.cheapass.com/products/other.html

It's halfway down the page listed under "other stuff"

While you're there you should pick up a sampling of some of his fine and fun games.

It's official, I'm old. I had to look at a couple of sites to figure out what "contact juggling" was. I've known it and seen it before, but I always knew it by its old vaudeville name - "camelbacking."

You can get a variety of great contact videos from Brian Dube as well.
