Ratherferd 23:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Sam has been juggling for three months and at the age of fourteen he has already qualified 7 balls at 14 catches and 6 balls for a over qualifying 28 catches he has some world records that he shares with his friend for ball passing 7 through 10 balls. The most rings he has juggled is 5 rings the most clubs he has juggled is 4 and the most balls that you should no by now is 7. Slowly improving his skills each day he would love to be able to juggle 6 and 7 balls for over a minute and would like to become as good as most proffesional jugglers that are out there today. If you do not know anything about juggling the first thing you should know is the people who juggle, the two different patterns of juggling, and finally the props to use, and if you want to learn how to juggle thats a different thing. There are four main juggler you would want to know the first one is anthony gatto the best juggler in the world he holds 12 world records he has juggled and qualified 8 clubs 10 balls and 12 rings as his highest attempts. The next one you would want to know is Jason Garfield the funniest and most entertaining out of the four. Know adays he is not the best out of the main four but in the 1990's jason was a whole different juggler executing things even anthony gatto would have trouble with tricks that were unbeleivable. Tricks like 6 ring 6 up 720 or 8 ring 6 up 360. Tricks that were fortunatley caught on video tape. He has flashed 8 clubs the highest for rings would be 10 rings and the highest number of balls he flashed were 12 that was not on tape but i will believe his personal claim because I have seen video of him almost getting 14 catches of 12 balls but he has gotten 13 catches of 11 balls a former world record that was caught on camera. Also you should definately no about Vova Galchenko he is 19 years old and is in the top 5 jugglers in the world category he is some one who is almost at anthony's greatness so he will be as good as him at some point. Vova is the second greatest club juggler in the world. The highest number of rings he has juggled were 7 the highest number of balls is 9 and the highest number of clubs is 7. Vova has perfect form for all objects unlike jason garfield. Since the age of 6 he has juggled his whole life. He is a juggler that does not push the limits of juggling therfore not earning the spot of number one or two of the greatest jugglers in the world. The final juggler you would want to know is thomas dietz a person who loves juggling and definatley has fun with it. He has one world record for juggling 5 clubs for over 50 minutes. But clubs is not his category balls is thomas's category he knows many tricks with 5 balls 6 balls and 7 balls more than vova and maybe more than jason garfield. Thomas has juggled 10 balls max. 7 clubs max. has tried 8 clubs (didnt work out) and has juggled 8 rings. There are your jugglers you should know now there are 2 different patterns of juggling you need to know the fountain and the cascade. The fountain is for even number like 4 6 8 and so on this pattern does not cross from hand to hand if your juggling 4 balls you take 2 in one hand and 2 in the other and you simply juggle 2 in one hand at the same time for 6 balls it would be 3 in one hand and so on. The cascade crosses from each hand every ball that you have you throw to your other hand odd number like 3 5 7 9. Know the props you use would be balls know that pretty easy to imagine what they look like there a sphere either beanbags filled like with birds seed or balls that bounce with a more rubbery feeling. Rings is another object they look like the letter O a ring. Clubs is the last of the 3 most commonly used objects in juggling. It has a handle and it looks like a stick but it has a wider fat end at one of the ends so you have to rotate the club one time or flip it.
