About The Greatest Jugglers: The Art Of Making The Difficult Seem Seductively Simple

Juggling is one of the most difficult of activities. It requires quick hands, great hand-to-eye co-ordination and above all, immense patience. One of the simple joys of life is witnessing highly skilled people doing what they are good at. Often those observing may have little insight into the difficulty of the seemingly simplistic tasks being performed before them. All great performers make their chosen field look deceptively simple.

Beneath the apparently casual attitude of the good juggler lies an extremely dedicated and driven individual, someone who is willing to put in hours upon hours of practice. For it is this type of commitment that is required to achieve mastery.

Perhaps one of the most famous jugglers is Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller fame. However, lesser known is his former training partner and close friend, Michael Moschen, who has become a world renowned juggler. Here he is performing his great Triangle routine.

Truly great jugglers have an inherent ability to mesmerise their audience. So relaxed and comfortable is the performer with his abilities that those watching can become transfixed by the juggler’s gracious and artful movements. One such example is Falco Scheffler who approaches the physical limitations of juggling.

However, juggling is not just confined to using the traditional objects such as balls, rings and clubs. In fact one of the most watched videos on Youtube is of Polish juggler, Marek Born.

Here is the great Kris Krimo, a french juggler of ‘the gentleman style’ doing what he does best.

One of the great sports figure, Ice-Hockey player Wayne Gretzky, was asked to explain why he was so good. He replied, ‘I skate to where the puck is going to be not where it has been.’ Juggling applies the exact same principle only on a much more complicated basis as the juggler has to keep track of several balls.

Here is Michael Moschen performing at his eloquent and stylish best and explaining about the the alienating landscape of the juggler.
