Thank you Colin Wright. How you can talk about juggling for an hour and keep it real entertaining is simply amazing. This is by far the greatest presentation on Juggling i've ever seen.

But why the hell does it only have some 3000 views? For his next video I think he should try juggling kittens...
This is the kind of video that has made me stop watching TV completely and watch youtube instead.
This is the kind of video I am referring to when I tell my friends about how youtube has enriched my life.

[@davidslick641]

Lol. He said tennis balls are the worst to juggle with. I broke 2 Guinness World Records in juggling with regular tennis balls.

[@Dtrollmancan]

Yea, and no one cares for your stupid record ;(

[@renardmigrant]

David Slick he's right though.

[@917sjones]

David Slick what records did you break?

[@SlickJuggling]

Stephen Jones I officially broke the Guinness World Records for 3 and 4 ball endurance juggling. See certificate: slickjugglers.com/clients.html. The 4 ball record has since been broken. I still hold the 3 ball record as far as I know. I broke many more records but they were not accepted because of Guinness' inconsistent verification requirements.
