Hi! My name is Noe'l, I'm almost 22, and I'm a self-taught Juggler

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d5ea7df2-5d5a-456f-af8a-de04341caf33.mp4

I taught myself to juggle when I was 6 years old. I was bored one afternoon so I took some balls out of my toybox, and started with just two balls, and once I got the hang of juggling two balls, I added a third one.

When I got a little older I tried juggling with one hand and it became what you see me do in this video.

I oftentimes juggle for folks in my town just to make them smile. They seem to enjoy it, especially kids 😊

Solid form, especially for self-taught!

The world needs more jugglers and you sound like a wonderful person

Not bad at all, and being able to do with single hand with either hand is nice. Will you try four balls?

Fun! I taught myself in high school using a "juggling for the average klutz" book.

It's a fun way to entertain yourself and any nearby children, who immediately think "hey, that looks easy!"

That's awesome! Great work! I hope you keep it up, it looks like it makes you happy. I can't juggle at all so it's mad impressive to see someone learn.

Very well done! You ever set out a hat and busk in the park? You've got a talent.

Psps if you're in the sf bay area let me know. there's a cool event that you'd probably be interested in. The main male supporting lead actor? I guess? This last year he was a juggler and I don't remember him having any lines. He was fantastic.

I've sold just enough CDs to break even (mostly to the band, family of the band, and groupies [and somehow my wife even though we didn't date for seven more years and she never told me until we were married]) and I still only consider myself a professional musician because of that one time we got paid in tacos

Thank you for the offer. Whilst this sounds nice and fun....I am not really anywhere near the Francisco Bay area. I live in the Midwest. Kansas, to exact😅

Fantastic! Keep up the great work and I would look forward to you continuing to share your talent as you continue learning new tricks!

(Also, I really like your hair style & colors)

What's a Jugglo?

A Juggalo is a fan of Insane Clown Posse.

It's a whole subculture of people who congregate around the band Insane Clown Posse. It's really interesting.
