Not juggling per se, but I thought that a few of you might enjoy this. Reminds me of a Bristol convention a few years ago, where several of us tried to throw a spoon into a wine bottle.

We should really do a jugglers collab of one of these. I'm sure we could make some fantastic shots between us. Anyone up for it?
As a little aside, I often wonder how many times it would take for someone who can't juggle to fluke flashing 5,6 and/or 7 balls just once.

Collab sounds fun, its not a hobby of mine but I could definitely make up something hard in my room and film this a hundred times until it works :)

the hardest part is making it look like you don't really give a shit, when you finally do get it in

Could be... I myself thought that the hardest would be filming something that is convincingly real. With many shots I see I can not help but think how easy it could have been faked!
Thinking back, the apparent meticulousness of the counting impressed me more than the throwing!

I´m in for a collabaration if more people are doing it.

Of course!
Great stuff!
Also reminds me of a game at an EJC (Ptuj?) which involved sitting around a table trying to throw a biro into a beer bottle.

Ptuj it was. I remember after watching Robin this trying continuously for 45 minutes I managed to get it on my 4th attempt. Very happy day!

Yup, Ptuj, I was in that game too :-)
I got it eventually. No idea how many attempts I made, but I think it was somewhere around the 20 - 30 min mark!
It was amusing how many OCD jugglers we managed to suck into the game that day :-)

And this again (I was not in ptuij) reminds me of EJC in poland, where there was a huge circle of jugglers (perhaps 30+?)sitting and trying to throw a club with the body on the ground and have it land standing on the top. Many succeeded, many were sitting there for hours...
Sounds exactly like Corx.

Haha, yeah. This can be done with a toilet paper roll too btw (not too hard, my record is like 3 in a row.)

That was awesome! & looking at the number of attempts that the feats took in the top right I don't think those numbers were particularly high.
I liked the double coat hanger throw the best.
This video reminded me of this one:

I heard he did it on the first take ;)
Reminds me of "A Normal Day"
https://youtu.be/86p62pKVtO4
Which was filmed way back in 2006 (and does include just a little bit of juggling).

Coo! Yes, I remember that! I've made a mental note to re-watch it when I get home tonight.
I seem to remember being impressed by something to do with a hat, and something else to do with a toothbrush - but really can't remember what.
You wouldn't believe how much googling it took to locate that video - A vague memory of some video featuring a couple of jugglers with the word 'ordinary' in the title was my starting point.
Little Paul - - Parent #
Hahaha! Good effort then!
I'd forgotten about that one. The consistent lighting on the outdoor shots suggests they were able to film in a short period of time or the weather is very consistent where they are!

That was awesome, thanks for sharing!
No need for a collab, we can't beat these guys anyway ;)
