Webforum Trivia #2
I collected these questions so why not post them.. Also it was much harder this time to come up with fun questions of which I knew the answer and which could not be easily researched on the internet! Again I hoped to have a mix of easy, hard and fun questions.
Maybe someone else wants to create a 3rd set? I'd love to test my own knowledge!
Show off your random knowledge, answer the questions below!
Q1: Which juggler also created a popular freeware animation application? (watch out, he might be reading this!)
Q2: Which two glowclub acts feature very similar holes in the backs of their costumes?
Q3: Which performer had each of his juggling rings made out of 2 small hoops?
Q4: What makes you a good 6 ball shower juggler?
Q5: Who created this animation? https://imgur.com/duoUBHE
Q6: Who won the super long 5 ball endurance at the EJC 2013?
Q7: Which German comedian wrote a song about juggling?

Q4: You just need to be one.
Q5: Luke Burrage, way back, http://www.lukeburrage.com/blog/archives/1001
Q12: Maybe Penn Jillette? https://youtube.com/v/b4RAx9BWc-w?start=172

4 points for brook! :D
As for Q12, there are some interviews where Jilette claims to be the first and in Garfield's technical juggling booklet he admits that he only thought to be the first, but some Russians beat him and Moschen to it.

It sounds like one of the guys from the passing zone, but I can not be 100% certain.
Only know one off the top of my head that hasn't been answered...
Q8 - Excalibur
Q6 - I remember it was around 1 hour 20 mins but forget who and don't want to google for the answers...
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Q8 correct, one point for Aidan!
I wasn't there myself but I also heard 1:20 something. I googled myself to check if it wasn't to easy, and I couldn't find the name of the juggler... Still unanswered :)
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Sorry for misreading your name, one point for Adrian, not Aidan....
Haha, people seem to mix them up a lot... I suppose my name just has an 'r' and a couple of letters swapped...
Also, Q13 I've heard 'trink' used but not sure if it's the correct term...
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
CLOSE
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Oh well, close enough I guess, I see at some places it has been renamed to 'trink' to suit the English language better
The correct answer would have been: Trinka!
One point for Adrian
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Bar Mualem is correct! One point for Julius :)
Q7: Which German comedian wrote a song about juggling?
If it was Udo Lindenburg or Henning Wehn I'd like to hear it.
Q8: Which diabolo trick was REnamed after a sword?
Vertax Genocide. (Always worth a plug: https://www.capsule39.com/tlmb_vertax.php )
Q9: Which prop can be filled with water for training purposes?
Buckets. Shaker Cups. Hats. Although some would say those are more for entertainment purposes. Any DX or Bubble-style ball.
Q10: Which busker had a huge insect tattooed on his head?
The Butterfly Man
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Q7: Wrong and wrong
Q8: What does the Genocide have to do with it? In order to write down this question correctly I scanned trough the diabolo.ca forums and it seemed that the name vertax only popped up after excalibur. Vertical diabolo was popular as well though.
But which trick has not been renamed at some point? My old-school juggling teacher refuses to call the 3b box the box, rather the U shape!
Q9: Buckets are not on my list of juggling props :p, who fills shaker cups and hats for training? bubble style balls are kind off pointless without fill.
To be more exact: Yes, there have been performers performing with this juggling prop on stage filled with water but originally you'd fill it with water to test out your skill: Can you still play without spilling water?
Q10: Robert Nelson, the Butterfly Man is correct!
One point to Void!
I was 100% certain that I had at some point posted on DCA saying "it was called Vertax when Andy P was doing it in the mid 90s", but I can't find such a post. Well, I've said it here now. And it was you that specified a diabolo "trick", as opposed to a style, so I adhere to my answer of Vertax Genocide.
And for q9, I'll modify my answer of Buckets to The Buckets (or bowls) on the ends of a Meteor.
Two more points please. :)
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
I agree that it is more of a style, but I thought if I'd call it a style in the question it would be too easy :p.
But why a point? Adrian already gave a correct answer!
Q9: Meteor is of course completely correct! :D

Tennis balls for tennis-balls-and-can are also traditionally filled with water to make it easier

Q11 - thats Christoph Buch
i was very astounded when christoph told me that he now does it and for how long the show actually exists. i dont remember the actual number of years though. so for personal interest:
Q11': When was Get the Shoe performed for the first time?
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
A point for Julius
And a new question! I don't know, but googling around told me they performed at the EJC in Carvin, 2004!
That is longer ago than I had thought...
Q1.

Q1.

Q1.
Colin Wright... not sure, but I have a feeling his simulator may have become free at some point. Not currently remembering the name of it doesn't help research.... Ah, found it. Hmm, it's shareware. Oh well. https://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/JuggleKrazy.html
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
I was already afraid this would happen, hence I wrote 'popular' animation software with which I hoped to make clear it was outside of juggling world ;). But for this much extra answers you get a bonus point!
Will you make the next set of questions Void?
Rob van Heijst - - Parent #
I knew four of the answers but I guess I'm too late to the party. The 'You just have to b1' answer made me giggle!
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
There are still 2 questions unsolved, niets is onmogelijk!
Q3: Vladimir Tsarkov? - https://youtu.be/0YYzIyZlxBg
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Correct!
That went quick, only 2 more questions to go:
Q2: Which two glowclub acts feature very similar holes in the backs of their costumes?
Should be not too hard since there are not that many notable glow club acts.. Although I found it hard to find pictures that show the backs of their costumes, so you might only be easy if you've seen them live!
Q7: Which German comedian wrote a song about juggling?
Also easy, ask any German juggler! I believe this song was even performed by the author at one of the BJCs (BERLIN)
Q2: The Gandinis are obvious candidates, but who to match? I'm guessing, wildly, FlameOz.
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Gandini is 50% of the answer indeed. FlameOz I've never heard of.
Little Paul - - Parent #
Feeding The Fish are the only other notable glow act that springs to mind, but I can't honestly say I can remember anything about their costuming.
If not FTF, how about Light Fantastic? The only time I've seen them was at Bungay and they didn't have their costumes - lovely glo-club jugging though!
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Nope, not Light Fantastic. Keep the guesses coming!
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Yeah, costumes seem to be not so important if you work in the dark anyway. That is why I was so surprised someone thought it was necessary to copy Gandini.... But it was not Feeding The Fish!
Little Paul - - Parent #
That's who I had in mind, although as much as I could see his costume/rings in my minds eye I couldn't get any further than "Vladimir someone"
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
His stage name "Red Harlequin" is perhaps easier to remember :)
Daniel Simu - - Parent #
Time is up!
And the final answers here:
Q2: Which two glowclub acts feature very similar holes in the backs of their costumes?
Gandini and Team Jonglissimo. It is hard to see on the pictures..
Team Jonglissimo performed this act at Cirque de Demain, did Gandini do that as well?
Gandini, 1st juggler from left: https://imgur.com/4PXkKAd
Jonglissimo, 3rd juggler from left: https://imgur.com/osncroz
Q7: Which German comedian wrote a song about juggling?
Sebastiam Kraemer - Die welt braucht keine jongleure (The world does not need jugglers)
https://youtu.be/jt5ZtwNLHlc
He sings about his neighbor who is a juggler.
