Hi Howard,
I used to work there. (Maybe I sold it to you!) “Thicker in the middle and thinner at the ends” sounds like the wrong way round for a devil stick. Could you describe it in a bit more detail, then maybe it would help jog my memory.

Wasn’t there a radical fish fire devilstick?
I can’t find a photo online, there may be an advert in The Catch, I haven’t found it (yet!) … not being into devilstick, my memory is a bit foggy
But it seems like a fish stick would be likely to be “unusual” in shape?
IIRC, the RF fire DS had a folded square of wick flat on the end (as opposed to wrapped around the ends, long-axiswise), but was otherwise the usual shape.
I now wonder if it might have been a Fyrefli design, but I can't remember one such as Howard describes.
@ Howard,
was it thicker in the middle by material wrapped around it there or spindle-shaped?

Archive.org has the oddballs website going back to 2000 (likely not quite early enough)
Sadly most of the images are missing, but it does list an oddballs fire DS as:
> Aluminium Stick. All metal with wooden plugs. Virtually indestructible.
I wonder if that was it.
I have a vague memory of oddballs scanning a load of old catalogues and putting them online somewhere ~5-10 years ago. Anyone else remember that?

mistake I think, sorry, my french is very rusty so I trusted AI on that
one, but there is probably no fishing on the Neckar ;)

Hello Juggling Edge Universe!
We are on our 3rd year of our "North Beach Circus Saturdays" event in Washington Square Park San Francisco, hosted by all volunteers through our Facebook and Instagram @CircusArtsFlow. Our weekly hours are 2-5pm Springtime, 3-6pm Summer and Fall, then we go on Winter break starting Thanksgiving weekend.
We have deep connections to professional performers like The 7 Fingers via the "Dear San Francisco" show at Club Fugazi, but our focus is not performative circus, but rather how circus and creative body movement can calm your nervous system (see the neuroscience of flow adocumentree.com/circusartsflow).
We've found that focusing on what circus/flow like juggling feels like vs what it looks like, this creates maximum enjoyment for beginners, easier learning, often helping us detox from digital screen time. Circus arts flow skill share events also help to build community and unity. People come to learn, regardless of politics or other identity differences, a core value at our event. To get a vibe for "North Beach Circus Saturdays", check out our weekly RECAP videos on our socials @circusartsflow.
We are looking forward to learning about YOUR events. People are always asking about OTHER events around the world, so this is a fantastic resource, much gratitude to you all!

Hi Mangelo, welcme to The Edge.
Here's the link to the club's Edge page, for anyone reading this who might be interested:

Our boy Augusto Akio just a won bronze medal for Brazil, representing Team Jugglers at the Olympics. Between his runs he busted out a mini 3-club juggling routine for the cameras. Oh, it was in the skateboarding, btw. :-)

Juggletween is 20 years old today
It was an early experiment in collaborative juggling video creation, a year before youtube existed. Jugglers from around the world were given secret instructions on how to start/end their clips without knowing who else was involved or what they were filming. I then collected the clips and assembled them into the final video.
The rec.juggling post announcing the video:
https://groups.google.com/g/rec.juggling/c/l_PBGsVfWKM/m/bY7EEd-yxbsJ
The video is still available on juggling.tv (I can't put it on youtube due to copyright music):
https://juggling.tv/1836
It's interesting to watch it now, partly to see how far the standard of internet juggling has risen, but also to see how much the technology has changed. 20 years ago, people were still shooting interlaced pal/ntsc video on camcorders.
I had a real struggle deinterlacing the clips 20 years ago, and I think I'd make a better job of it today... but I've been through my archives and unfortunately I can't find the original clips.
So it is what it is... happy birthday juggletween!
Funny, I've just been de-interlacing an almost 20-year old video for a pal.
That was a fun rewatch/reread. (I seem to have been surprisingly quiet at the time.) I remember JTween II(*) being lots of fun too. These videos later inspired me to make a kendamatween (Ooh, was that 9 years ago now? Coo.), albeit with only 3 people...
https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=2240#Small16144 (Hey, Marvin, fix the embed, would you, please?) (*)
...so thanks again.
Anyway, happy birthday.
* Or see the "Related videos" on the JTween JTV page
I actually remember most of that!
I enjoyed the WJVF around the same era too. I think because it was so much more of an effort for creators back then I appreciated them more.
Thanks for your efforts back then, I consider you a giant upon which the yoof of today stand.
Out of interest though: what type of biscuit went into the process?
Little Paul - - Parent #
Hard to say for sure, but they were most likely own brand plain chocolate digestives paired with a strong cheddar
I read something recently about youtube and an AI to remove copyrighted music. I can't recall if it was ready yet or not, but when it is that might help
sorry, I wish I could remember more details and even a link to paste for you
I remember liking the idea and the video though and thought some of the transitions were quite clever.

I can replace the audio easily, but then it’s not the same video…

And of course… if I changed the music MK ringing the doorbell wouldn’t line up quite so perfectly 😀
