Buugeng

November 29, 2009

“A device similar to the Buugeng was once used by the amazing Michael Moschen. Inspired by this, Dai Murata combined it with his extraordinary fire-dancing, spinning and juggling skills, leading to the development of the Buugeng.”

Floodlight Poi

Unlike regular glow poi, these shine a beam of  light.  Performed by Laura Ernst.  Built by me.

I’m sure every juggler who has walked down the produce isle has been tempted to juggle the fruit.  Here is Thomas Dietz juggling fruit.

Giant Triangles

November 24, 2009

There are several people who juggle giant triangles.  Again, I am not sure if the act or the performer in this video is named “Petrovskiy”.

Bouncing Sticks

November 24, 2009

Either the performer or the act is called “Siarhei”.  This one prop is used for club juggling, bouncing, staff spinning and devil sticks.

Is it still called a unicycle, if there is no wheel?

November 24, 2009

I believe this is called “Walking Thing” by Tom Miller at the Unicycle Factory.

Many more unique unicycles are listed here: http://gwyn.tux.org/~bagleyd/unicycle_factory/custom.html
