Hi all,
Didn't know if there were many people that juggle until my neighbor caught me in the front yard. Known the guy for about 10 years and didn't know he could juggle.. I was just trying to re-learn away from my puppy. She's a rottweiler, all ball dog.
Picked up some "dog tennis balls" to play with. Sold two to a pack, I tossed her one... Those things are not rotti-rated and part of ball #4 came back as less than half of the hide. Now I have to play outside to keep for getting mugged...
Anyway would like to meet up with fellow jugglers for tips etc.

Hi Jay, welcome to The Edge. Check out the Clubs section in the menu (that’s clubs as in societies, not as in juggling props) to see if there are any clubs near you. Good luck with the training.
Hi Jay, welcome to the Edge. ... not easy to find a ball that a rotti can't "do".

Hi Jay,
I feel this thread needs to evolve towards a discussion on dog proof props. I am not a dog person and had cats when I was first learning to juggle. I am now coming to terms with owning a Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy who is teething like mad but does seem to enjoy picking up clubs and could potentially be trained to collect them and bring them to me. At present she just picks them up and runs madly around the garden before placing them down again. Seeing as I have 500 or so clubs I can afford to let one or two get trashed and I have also developed a habit of leaving the plastic wrapping on them and juggling them like that and so the dog can teethe off the plastic over time.
I have not tried juggling balls anywhere near her yet. Plastic Mr Babache stage balls may be okay as they are probably bigger than she can get her mouth around but bean bags are probably not a good idea. I don't practice numbers juggling anywhere near her at the moment preferring to do this at the UCL club or the stair well in my work. I think I need to investigate if a Kevlar bean bag would work.
Hi everybody,
I know that it's a shame but I'm finally here, now :-D
I'm looking forward to the upcoming Passing Meetings and conventions in Germany and I can't wait to see you again!
Here are all the links posted during April 2025:

Buses to EJC 2025. The EJC 2025 organisers are organising buses to European Juggling Convention 2025 in Papendal in The Netherlands; from Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg and London. The buses will take you direct to the EJC site and you also get to experience the joy of travelling in a coach full of jugglers.
For these buses to be viable they need 50 people to sign up before the 30th April (today) - this gives people time to make alternative travel arrangements if there aren't enough people for the buses to run. If 50 people don't sign up the buses won't run.
More details can be found and tickets bought at: https://tickets.ejc2025.org/

Hi!! I'm Claire from UCSD and I'm part of the 333Jugglers club here. I mainly do temoto and I'm going to Isla Vista & IJA this year!
Hi!!!! Welcome to the Juggling Edge. I had to look up what temoto juggling was and it looks quite fun.
There seem to be quite a few juggling clubs in California, but the IJA festivals tend to be on the east side of USA, is there a reason for this? Have a great time Isla Vista and IJA!

The Highgate Collection. I think I want a hard copy to lug around to conventions with me. I'm positively baffled to find that there's a longer version I've never looked at, but comparing them in tabs on my phone is serving only to remind me why I want a printed copy.
This version is 246 pages - https://www.juggle.me.uk/passing/highgate2014-05-16.pdf
Whilst here we have 340 - https://jugglingedge.com/pdf/highgate.pdf
Is more better? If someone else could have a strong opinion to save me having to form one, I'd be much obliged.
I think the Juggling Edge version is the most up to date version as it has James's introduction in it, Aidan was updating the book in 2013 https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=1138
The Juggling Edge version is doing something strange with the pages for me; eg page 44 is just one line of text
https://jugglingedge.com/pdf/highgate.pdf#page=44 and there are many other pages with very little text for no obvious reason
My other problem with the Juggling Edge version is the page numbers in the contents section are wrong; eg the contents says Willy Wonka's One Count is on page 121 but you will in fact find it on page 98
I could also do with a printed version, if anyone knows where you can get it printed cheaply
Yes the single line taking up a whole page is somewhat perturbesome...
Perhaps an opportunity for a doodle, rather than attempting to wrangle the pdf
Oh gosh, and the index (a novel feature of the Edge version) has it on page 101. The plot thickens
For me the best thing about the index is that it includes the entry "Index" (albeit with the wrong page number for itself), but I like that it recognises itself.
I did have a mind to try and correct the page number errors a few years ago, but it seems I have left it in the hope someone more competent might fix it.

The 246 page version was the latest Aidan published back in 2014 five months before he died. Also found here on Aidan's old site:
https://www.geocities.ws/aidanjburns/passing.html
The 340 page version was obviously created posthumously (not sure by who). It looks like the page break formatting is off. I expect the content is the same between the two.
Bungay Balls Up - visit to Orford Ness.
For many years I’ve been thinking about visiting Orford Ness (about half an hour from Bungay).
It’s a natural spit, which is an SSSI nature reserve due to bird breeding grounds, but also has an extensive war time history as much of the UK secret weapons development (including radar and the atomic bomb) was squirrelled away there.
For weekend public visits it costs £14 for the ferry and entrance, and the red walking route (that takes in the publicly accessible war time buildings) is about a 5 mile round trip.
If we had 12-24 people interested, they do private tour groups on weekdays. I believe that would be a guided tour, and on request can take in areas of the war time structures not normally open to the public. I've emailed them to ask for availability and cost.

If you might be interested in joining us, let me know and I'll keep you in the loop.
might be useful mentioning the potential dates being 19th - 23rd May
have a hashtag #BBU2025 (to help people find out about this years Bungay Balls Up)

We're now looking at possibly booking a private guided walking tour on the afternoon of Wed 21 May.
Cost for ferry, entrance, and tour guide would be £29.50 each (or £20 for National Trust members).
I'm just collating who definitely wants to come to make sure we reach the minimum party size of 12 people (I think we should reach that easily, but I just need the confirmations).
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the list.
Definitely sounds interesting, could you please put Sam & I on the list. We are both National Trust members if they need to know.
Richard Loxley - - Parent #
Done. We now have 14 people confirmed and another 10 who were interested. I've emailed the NT to ask to book that day.
Richard Loxley - - Parent #
The event is booked, and I've created an Edge event: #BBUOrfordNess
Currently 22 people are booked in, there are 2 spaces still available.
Phishing attack for juggler dot net emails?
I got an email this morning to my j.n email address purporting to be a security setting update for Cpanel on j.n. It looks extremely suspect. Don’t click if you get one.
Cf. https://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=crmas_sfp&p=cpanel+update+phishing
( first result - how to tell from eMail header, s.o. else also had this a month ago )
Howdy Meshurs!
After it always been a riddle, my start into devilsticks, after s.o. told me to use both sticks for flipping + catching, was surprisingly easy. Not practising it, didn't get further than 10 tictocs yet tho ;-D
