Contact Juggling

by james-ernest

Contact Juggling is an unusual and beautiful juggling technique. It involves rolling one or more balls on the hands, arms, and body. It combines the visual grace of dance with the technical demands of juggling. It is a joy to watch and a satisfying challenge to perform. This is James Ernest's original instruction book on contact juggling, first released in 1990, and now in its third edition. It contains instructions for all the basic moves, including hand rolls, isolations, multi-ball palm spinning, and more. It also contains updated sections describing a wealth of new and unusual contact juggling tricks. Juggler's World Magazine called Contact Juggling "one of the best-designed juggling instruction books available." The text and illustrations are clear and thorough. Grab your copy today!

One of the first (if not the first) book on contact juggling. Although a definite book to include in any juggler's library, I personally think that watching an instructional video would be better.

A classic. Shows how to do the impossible, on a routine basis. The field has moved some since he wrote it, but this is the original.

Incredibly helpful and encouraging for getting started with contact juggling, the illustrations are superb and there's loads more tricks besides; the appendix even includes instruction on 3-ball juggling.
