Ooh! Juggling!  8)

You know, I think I remember that!

(Kendama has nearly made me forget).

:)

P.S. Nice routine Void.

Well done, enjoyed that!
Someday I'm going to have to witness your yoyo skills as well. I've started throwing lately, having a lot of fun with it!

Thanks!
I'd say kendama is the one I've taken to the furthest level.
As for being a pro at [whatever]... I consider that to mean that you get paid[nb]in money.[/nb] to perform/demonstrate/teach it. So therefore I'm a professional... club juggler, hat juggler, ball juggler, fire juggler, staff spinner, knife juggler, ring juggler, contact juggler, poi spinner, yo-yoer, compère, etc etc.

So far I think I've only had travel expenses for doing kendama[nb]Don't get me wrong with the "only" - It was great to go to Netherlands/Finland/Japan/Denmark/and, errr... Leicester[/nb], so the jury's out on that one.  (Do the books count?)  ;)

@Misterwhang Well, I've done a few gigs as a CJer, but I'm pretty ropey at it. Have a gawp at my friend Matt instead:

@Dimensions Yeah, I forgot diabolo. I still do that. Don't really have much footage of me, and you're not missing much compared to what you've seen over on DCA. I am planning to submit something for either the collab or a VOTW though, so you'll see a little something by the autumn.

You never told me you do diabolo ..... :)

To be honest, I'm more scared by the image of you as a "professional poi-ster"!  Great to see you again this weekend, good luck with the onions!  Donald (who once balanced a vegetarian haggis on his head and juggled three bottles of whisky for a photo shoot, and WASN'T paid for it! :) )

It was only once, honest! Me and Ella tried persuading them... "Are you sure you wouldn't like us to do some club passing? Diabolo? No? Poi? Really? Okay then.... " (sigh). Thank goodness there are no photos.

Wow that's amazing! Oh and is diablo hard to get into?

Q "Is kendama hard to get into?"
A1 "No, Big Cup is really easy!"
A2 "Oh, yeah, Moon Circle is really hard."

Point being - the easy stuff is easy, the hard stuff is hard. Basic spinning and control takes 10 minutes or so to get used to[nb]Assuming you have someone to teach you/some good instructions. http://donaldgrantdiabolo.wordpress.com/books-and-dvds/ (http://donaldgrantdiabolo.wordpress.com/books-and-dvds/)[/nb], and then you're off.
