Hi there

Has anyone here tried this? I read about it in The Complete Juggler. I'm sure many of you are familar with it in print but has anyone done it? I'm wondering how fast the egg becomes solid. Is it really a practical trick? I'm sure I'll give it a go but any and all stories of experience are appreciated.

Yes I've done it. Grease the frying pan first and have plenty of wick on your torch otherwise it cooks to slowly. You can even heat the pan first with a kitchen blowtorch to help matters along.

Ok you got me what is the egg and frying pan have to do with juggling?

I'm going to have to go back to read Dave's book where he encourages you to actually fry the egg, in my opinion that is just overkill. I do this trick all the time (out doors). My suggestion is forget about frying the egg, and go to a restaurant supply store to buy a small aluminum skillet with a rubber covered handle.

What does a skillet, and an egg to do with juggling?????

Well the only answer I could think of is COMEDY ENTERTAINMENT. Trust me the audience will enjoy you juggling three different objects. When the egg splaters on the skillet just take a bow the audience will tell you how entertaining the routine was with their applause.

Al I think our friend fire performer just didn't get the gist of the routeen. I don't think he was critisizing it. Yes Its a good bit esp because you can do other bits with the egg prior to the juggling. A little magic maybe?

Anyway give it a shot. trial and error is where its at.

I think you are right. I never read about it, but I first saw it done at a juggling convention, and when you see it done it is self explinatory. In short the whole routine is about the finish just like the rubber bowling ball routine is all about bouncing it off your head at the end. When I do my torch juggling routine I get the bigest response from my finish, or two balls and a top hat routine gets applause when the hat lands on my head, or as you and I have discussed before. What does the carrot have to do with machete juggling? The answer is you gotta see it to understand it.

I know I invited you to the Philadelphia juggling convention this weekend, but my agent booked four jobs for me this weekend, so I will not be able to attend.

Adressed twice in the same post! Great I love it! No hard feeling. I have too much work up here anyway!

Good luck with the gigs not that you need it you old pro.

Thanks for the help folks. Off to walmart I go
