How To Clown About Whilst Juggling Balls

Step 1: You will need

Step 2: Juggling with a Cold

Throwing two items in one hand is very useful if you've got a cold.

Our clown is always falling in puddles and forgetting his scarf, so it's no surprise to see him with a sniffle. Achooo!

What did you do there, Clown?

The trick here is to learn to juggle two balls in one hand whilst holding the third ball with the same hand. If you're having difficulty, try using smaller balls. Or bigger hands.

The unused ball is wedged into the lower part of the hand and held by the smaller fingers.

Practice moving from juggling with three balls to hiding one and juggling with two.
Now clown about with your cold.

When you sneeze, let go of both balls in your right hand and catch the other ball still falling. You can now continue to juggle with all three. Now there's no excuse not to turn up to work clown!

Step 3: Swallow and Spit Balls

A variation of the sneeze is to pretend to swallow the ball your hiding.

Juggle with three balls. Move your left hand up to your mouth and pretend to put a ball in your mouth: but don't really do it! Blow air into your cheek to complete the illusion. At the same time, set one of the balls in your right hand and begin juggling with the remaining two, as before.

Now when you're ready, blow the air out of your mouth and throw two balls into the air and continue juggling: hey presto, you've been clowning about with juggling.

Thank you clown.
