Hi all,
I'm looking for tricks or stunts, things that look really neat like they would take a great amount of skill to do, but they don't, I'm actually cheating? things like the cigar boxes with hinges. Charlie Fry has a few cool stuff on his dvds. any more places to look? ideas? books? websites? anything? |

If you sew together three sets of three balls per set you can then announce that you are going to attempt to juggle 9 balls, and then do it.

Though Ive never seen it performed live the other day the spinning ring caught my eye by joe porper He has an advertisment in the dinning room above or below the dealers table. Its a linking ring gizmo where you balance one ring on top of another one and then spin it. Bit pricey for my wallet but seems pretty cool!

You can fake a lasso pretty easily. Bearings held in the hand rather than spinning it properly and have the knot tied in the correct place.
Spin a spinning plate on a hand drill. Fake a devil stick by having it fixed at the centre so it can spin. Nigel

hey, I'm going to do the 9 ball thing! thanks AL!
the lasso is a good idea, except I actually do a lasso routine in my act. I wear a cowboy hat and a wig, after I'm done with the lasso I do the old Gallagher gag (notice I ain't got no hair). Joe porpers rings look pretty cool, I think I might start saving up for that one. |

Anybody ever done juggling with knives and have one that while you are doing chops cuts into your arm? That might get a good reaction. I know...not really in the line of what was asked, but I already answered in the other thread. This idea just popped into my head and I would like to see someone use it.
And for those who don't know: You Don't Really Cut Into Your Arm. You Use A Gimmicked Knife available from your favourite dealer. Sorry. Had to put the disclaimer. |

No but I did juggle knives one time and drop a fake finger then go into part of Meir Yedies disapearing finger routine. Pretty good reaction!

Steve Rawlings in the UK does the gimmicked knife as part of his knife juggling routine. Very funny and talented performer, if you get the chance watch him.

Ping Pong ball catch on nose.
Ball on parasol (with string). Fake blindfold. Cigar boxes with middle box attached to belt.
Thinking is the best way to travel!

I've seen the ping pong ball catch several times, but I don't know what kind of glue to use for it, any suggestions. Dan Feel free to PM me |

The glue is the same sort of glue as you use to make plastic models of planes etc.
? cement (the name escapes me) Nigel

I think it is the rubber cement. You want to paint half the ball, and your nose with the brush that comes with it. The rubber glue on the ball makes it fall sticky side down.
