Video Challenges

Years ago I had the pleasure of teaching Logan how to juggle. He is now working in BC and I'm living in PEI. Although we are on opposite ends of the country, we have reconnected through these juggling challenges. Click here, for a complete list of our challenges. Here is a photo of Logan from way back in 2010:

Where to buy Juggling Equipment?

I recommend ordering from Higgens Brothers, supplier to the Cirque du Soleil, out of Ontario. They have a great line of products and often have several sale items. Check them out at: http://www.higginsbrothers.com/html/shop.html

Traveling

When traveling we are introduced to new ideas.  Last March, my daughter and I discovered the Bryant Park Juggling scene.  Bryant Park is in NYC and is located near the Empire State Building, just behind the NYC Public Library.  It is this place where everyone comes to relax and unwind.  (ref: http://www.bryantpark.org/)

 I liked how you didn't need to bring anything for juggling.  The organizers supplied all the gear, as you can see in the following photo.

Here is a neat motivational and promotional idea.  Guests are treated to a "I learned to Juggle at Bryant Park" pin if they learn to juggle :)

Benefits of Juggling

"When you are learning to juggle, you are immediately absorbed in the activity. It’s almost impossible to think of anything but the task at hand. This makes it a great way to escape any worries, stress, hardships, or anything that might be hanging over your head."
