People could match it, but nobody could really exceed it. That was, until , when Barron managed this astounding feat. I bloody did it, On camera, I think. It feels good, yeah. Like, I was very happy when I got the world record. I mean, I wouldn't have spend so many hours doing it if I didn't care about it. Like you know, first you're like, yeah, I'll learn five, and you hear people talking on the internet about how hard five is.
Like, aw, I'm gonna be able to do five. And then it just kinda keeps going from there. So I don't think I'll ever have the time or maybe more likely the patience, to ever become a serious numbers juggler.
But I can already do three, so Barron gave me some lessons on how I can do five. So if I want to graduate from three balls to five balls, you're talking about some of the things I need to work on are my actual hand speed? And how hight I'm throwing the balls, because ti's the timing between the the throws, right? Exactly, yeah. You'll have to go higher and faster, probably. Okay, so show me how that works. Yeah, so with five, I'm gonna end up throwing them about eyes level, or a little bit higher, as opposed to low, with three.
But otherwise, it's the same. Really, the motion is very similar, you just have to be a little bit more fluid, and yeah, move your hands a bit faster. The hardest bit is the start, because that's when you've got all the weight in your hands.
So to begin with, yeah, I just try, don't even worry about catching them, just go one, two, three, four, five and then just So here we go, I'm just gonna do one, two, three, four, five, see if I can just get them all up in the air, or if I can throw the last ball before the first one comes down, right? Sounds right, yeah, exactly.
Go, one, two, three, four, five. Even faster would be better. That's pretty good. If it goes really well, what you want to see is two little piles, one for each hand, at the end of the fall. Aw, man, all right. But you can try and catch them, too. That's just to get the speed. I just want to see if I can get the speed again. So yeah, one, two, three, four, five. Yeah, that's pretty good.
And now try and catch them. Really working on it. Oh, that was close! He can do seven without much trouble, and makes it look effortless. But when he starts going for big numbers, like nine, 10, 11, all the way up to 14, he usually heads indoors, to a squash court. We're outside right now.
It's a little windy. That has something to do with why you practice in squash courts. Yes, well wind, obviously, is gonna mess up your pattern a little bit. You want the balls to have a very consistent trajectory every single time you try.
And the squash courts have really good contrast too, because it's basically a white background. So typically, it's much easier to see. And even if you're not looking at one ball in particular, your subconscious is still taking in where they all are in the sky, and where they're coming down, so.
You look vaguely at the apex of the pattern, and then from that you have some sense of what the pattern looks like, whether it's slanted, off kilter, it's not like me registering, you're just throwing and going, oh, that was a good one, that was a bad one. I guess I think that was a bad one.
If I do a bad throw, I typically notice that ball in particular. My name is Zak McAllister. I hold the record for doing it five, sex, and seven. He feels for their apex. I'll start with them behind the back, and I'll make my first throw, and once the throw is made, then I wait to fell it hit my elbow, and once I feel that, then I know it's ready for the next ball.
Usually in my head, I'll feel out, be like, okay, at this point, when I feel this, I need to make this next throw. Once I feel it coming down to my wrists, then I know that I need to open up my hand and have it ready so that way I can make the catch. But McAllister thinks he's at the numbers limit for blind behind the back. As you increase each ball, you start to realize I'm running out of space on my back, and four balls isn't too bad, but once you hit five balls, you're starting to realize I need to either, like, start making my throws a little higher than my elbow, which is not ideal, 'cause then it's even more blind, and I have to think about it even more, which takes up to like seven, so you just have to hope that they all work out.
In fact, the sky is literally their limit. But it seems like there are physical barriers to getting more balls in the air. Let's talk about 15 for a second, for example, just for the flash.
He increased the record to 15 catches in Bill Coad has done 13 ball quintuplexes for 25 catches, video and 13 ball sextuplexes for 30 catches. Alex Barron is the only person who has done 14 balls in a non-multiplex pattern.
He flashed 14 in an asynch fountain in Bill Coad has done 14 ball sextuplexes a multiplex pattern where 6 balls are thrown at a time for 30 catches. Juggle Wiki Explore. Popular Pages. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? Ball juggling.
Edit source History Talk 0. Learn How To Juggle Balls are roughly spherical objects, [1] usually small enough that several can be held in one hand at a time. Categories Props Ball juggling Add category. One of the rarest and more interesting phenomenon has been those jugglers who could juggle the same number of objects as their age. Think about that achievement and how difficult it would be to achieve it.
Albert Lucas, who will be discussed further in this article, learned to juggle at the age of three as well, and could also juggle four balls or four rings at the age of 4 pictured below. Matan Presberg is currently a college student, but was quite the internet star in the juggling world when he juggled six balls at age 6. Now as a young adult, Matan is a very good juggler, able to qualify nine balls and perform a five ball up pirouette out of seven balls.
Here is a video of Matan qualifying six balls at the age of 6. Jerry Martin could juggle three objects by age 3, and possibly even as a two year old! He was so young that he was still in a high chair he was small for his age.
It is his earliest memory. While all of the above reached a great achievement, only some of them could be deemed child prodigies by the true definition. Anthony Gatto is one of the best examples of a child learning to juggle very young and becoming a master by the age of ten.
Anthony was trained by his step-father Nick Gatto and learned around the age of 4 or 5 and possibly as young as 3, depending on the source, thus gaining entrance into the exclusive club above as well.
By that age, he could juggle six rings and do amazing combination tricks. By the age of ten, he was performing in Las Vegas. His further career is well documented, but suffice it to say that he went on to be become one of the greatest jugglers of all time, and he started as a juggling child prodigy. Below is a video showing two television appearances of Anthony at the age of 9. These have not appeared online before. Jenny Jaeger was born in into a circus family.
By the age of nine, she was performing eight balls. She would later add a ninth ball at age 12 and a tenth ball at age 15 to prove to be one of the best technical jugglers of all time.
She could also simultaneously balance five separate canes with bowls at the top. She has been chronicled several times by the IJA, including in this article showcasing famous female jugglers. Rudy Cardenas was born in Mexico in and was performing by the age of 3.
