- Get ready for some fun practice times as you progress on to 3 balls now.
Be patient and practice in short focused bursts...but do it everyday. 10 to 15 minutes daily! Of course more if you really want it.
You'll be invited to all the parties. Whooooo Buddy))))
Toss on~~~~
Shug
I'm Sean Emery, and this is my Master Class.
Sorta kinda.
@@shugemery Ted Talk?
Sean symposium! Hey Aaron.
@@shugemery I miss ya, i miss the outside world, but who doesn't? I am safe and sheltered in my bungalow in Hopkins.
I predict a lot of first-time jugglers discovering hammock camping in the future. They'll go searching how to juggle and end up juggling rocks for critters in the woods. Whoo buddy!
That could be for sure.
Shug, you are the best out there! Thank you for this series. It has helped a lot. You really open my eyes to the 4 ball juggling. I had been fooled for over 50 years. Thanks again!
Same two in each hand with four. Drill the weak hand.
@@shugemery thanks a real lot. That will put me over the top.... with family and friends.
My goal is to be a juggling fool. Right now I'm just a fool. Thanks for the smiles, Shug.
Touchè
Just don't be a Wanderin' Fool...that niche is filled.
Shug.. you're a living legend. Thanks so much for this. Cam from Australia!
I am living!
Still practicing, wife wants me committed.
Commit to the toss!
if there is a good thing about SIP, seeing Shug almost everyday it it !!
I'll be back!
Tip: (Practice facing your bed, knees pressed to your bed. When you drop a ball pick it up off the bed, not the floor.)
That's how I learned and thought is was so helpful! Shug I think I asked you to do a series like this once!! lol love it! I'll brush up on my three ball juggling now and hope you get to four balls!!! Great vid!
I did take 4 at the end of this vid. No deep instructions but you can see there is no crossover. So I may do a Tips video on how to get going on 4 for sure.
Yes, the over bed technique is a good one. Used my bed in college for the same.
Learned from the master 😭 thank you for teaching me and many others how to juggle. Never thought I'd be able to do it, however, anyone can with your instruction. Very grateful 🙏
Glad to got it down. Or Up!
Hey Shug ,
I watched Parts 1,2&3 over the last few days . I jumped online inbetween and ordered some bean bags . They arrived yesterday , Saturday 18th APRIL .
I'm getting there and loving practising , I'm hooked . A dozen or so good throws/catches is my record with 3 balls , but who's counting , it's the fun .
Thanks for the tutorial Shug . Whooo Buddy 👌🏼
From the UK , the day after "World Circus Day" .
Love hearing this~~~~
I cant even juggle one ball let alone more. You definitely have some talent. Thank you for the entertainment.
Thanks for watching....Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Hi Shug. Thanks for your 3 part master class. 3rd UK lock down and have mastered my first 3 ball flash today. All the practice tips were the aid to succeed. Shown with
fun Cheers from England
Front of the class~~~! Love hearing your report.
You taught me in 4 days after trying for about 25 years! I celebrated with a "Lollygag Life" mug.
That is awesome!...yes, I typed awesome. And a huge thanks for the support.
Self-taught to juggle 3 Shug, so just now I'm getting interested. Perhaps you teach 4 and 5!
I'll go back and start at the beginning because I know what love and talent you put into your work. Thank you Sir!
I show a quick peep at 4 end of this video.
Doubt I will teach 5 balls. Takes a ton of practice.
Many tutorials on you tube for 5 balls...czcams.com/video/cvLSr93QerM/video.html
Great video. Standing up against a wall was a cool tip i hadn't seen before. I found it useful to stand up against a bed while learning to juggle. That made retrieving the balls simple, which reduced the frustration and allowed me to practice longer.
I did too in my college dorm.
I have not done any juggling for years now. Having watched this and being in lock down I am now out in the backyard and some of the three ball tricks are starting to come back
Log that time! It gets better.
"FOUR!!!!"
Yes yes yes yes.
This is great!. I’ve been watching you to learn hammock stuff for next years thru hike, this is a great bonus. Thanks for bringing back a fun learning activity. I actually could juggle on a unicycle about 20 years ago. Not sure I’ll go back to that activity. I taught myself the full circle with 3 before I learned the cascade, but couldn’t get fourth in, maybe soon. Thanks, Shug.
It should come back to you quickly. Toss on.
Hey man, I've always wanted to learn how to juggle. I've struggled with it, and never honestly tried. Thanks for teaching me the right way to do it. I'll get to practicing :)
Bit by bit. Relax and enjoy the quest.
I never knew that about the 4 ball juggle......mind blown!
There ya' go. Of course you can cross the balls but the learning pattern is same two in each hand.
As neat as I think it is, I probably won’t try to learn to juggle BUT I have watched all three lessons just because you are such a good teacher. Your hammock videos are educational but this is truly instructional. Even though this is a performance oriented series (for the camera), it is obvious that you would be a great in person teacher. You might not have always been that way - pretty awesome.
I had a few good teachers in life that inspired me to learn and then pass it on. Thanks for the good words.
Thanks Shug, I coach hockey and teach skating to little kids, you broke things down the way we do in skating, simple to the complex. Excellent!
Once ya' start, there is a lot to explain.
Awesome teaching techniques I like that table style of teaching
You are an excellent teacher
Thanks. I don't have to bend down so low then!
You the man Shug!!
Thank ya! Thank ya!
You betcha!
Bursting with laughter in my hammock at 8am when it got to 2:07 hahahaha!!
Can’t wait to shoot for the stars with this next level of evolution of entertainment!
Maybe the folks at home need to record their own progress and upload some clips with the #StrugglingToShuggling
Thanks once again for being to awesome and for sharing the gifts you have my dude!
Whooooooo buddeyhhh! )))))))))))
4:17 hahaha! Ok ok ok! I’ll practice more!!
Fantastic video Shooge.
Quick coffee and then I’ll begin my practice.. thanks my dude
Don't let that coffee make you nevoust......
Thanks for the videos! I actually used this to learn and I've gotten fairly decent over the last two weeks. Still drop a fair amount, but I can almost go as long as I want. The only problem was I miss-remembered what Shug said about throwing the balls on the inside and inadvertently taught myself the reverse cascade. Once I get that locked down, my first "trick" will be the cascade.
Whooooo Buddy)))) There will always be drops in a catch/throw endeavor.....
This is great! I learned to juggle when I was a senior in college. My Organizational Behavior professor used it as a project where we split into groups and had the goal of everyone learning to juggle. I picked it up first so I helped others in my group learn. It was a fun way to learn how to deal with different personalities and learning styles. To this day I still have a set of juggle balls and pick them up every now and then for fun, it’s a great party trick :). I’ve actually been doing it a lot lately as a fun distraction from all of this COVID-19 madness!
Some folks get it in 10 minutes. Other take weeks or months to get it.
Thanks so much for these 3 videos. I never have attempted to juggle in my life prior to these, and now I am doing 3 balls! Please keep these coming. Maybe juggling 4 balls...strange shaped objects? Also, balancing various doo dads on the nose and chin? Anyhow, it's been fun learning. I'm supposed to be on the Benton MacKaye right now, but I'm juggling instead.
I may, I may. Good for you for learning that.
Thanks for doing this. I think it's really helpful to give people something to try.
Toss on and on....
Good stuff! I used to have an apartment underneath a Renaissance Fair juggler once. I wouldn't recommend it lol. Weekends were always a treat when he used to get drunk and mess around with bowling balls. Luckily for him, we were friends 😂
Drunken jugglers with bowling balls! Barefoot too I'll bet.
Bowling was popular in Renaissance times right???
😂🤣😅
Considering the minstrels were selling CDs, I guess he decided to go for Baroque.
@@samsmith8870 Wittiness me Lord.
What a huge secret at the end Shug ! I have to try 4 since i can do the two per one hand. Oh man I may just level up to 4 now. Whooo Buddy !
Give it a go! Make sure the balls don't go too wide out.
Loving the juggling tutorials Shug. I'd been doing the showering trick for years, but I was only ever able to handle two balls and couldn't keep it going very long. Seeing your videos, I ordered some juggling balls from amazon, but they won't get here until next month. Guess I'll chase tennis balls. Keep up the lollygagging, whoo buddy!
Good deal. Skip the shower technique for now and go through doing 1, 2 and 3 balls. Enjoy the process.
@@shugemery Yeah, i'd known that the shower technique wasn't the best way to go, its just what i managed tot each myself years ago. I've got a stack of tennis balls that my wife uses for quilts in the dryer and I'm going to work through your videos.
Years ago I learned how to juggle 3 golf balls, but 4 balls takes it to another level which I have yet to conquer.
Need to just master two in each hand.
@@shugemery Is it the same technique as three balls?
My Dad taught me the three ball juggle when I was a kid. Then when I was 12, I saw a school assembly where a guy juggled a 16# bowling ball, a 16# shot put and a ping pong ball. I thought that was the coolest thing! Who knew bowling balls shatter when you drop them on a concrete floor whilst trying to juggle them?
Tough trio....
Thanks. Heck, the two balls I have kept me in enough trouble. Would not have lived through three I fear. Stay well.
Orbs!
Man of many talents...thanks for sharing with us!
Toss on~~~
Nother good one !
Toss on!
I'm a bit late to the game, but can you do more circus skill videos? I'm getting back into all of these kinds of things as my kids grow and I've been trying to teach them. Plus, I just love to watch a good juggler/clown in action 😉
Here is one....czcams.com/video/mRqFT5sKOe8/video.html
Hey Shug, what juggling prop brands do you like? Clubs, diablos, cigar boxes, devil stick, torches, spinning plates, unicycle brands? Renegades, Todd Smith, Dubé, Henry’s, etc? Best value? Best quality? Best feel? Would love to see a whole video devoted to the subject. Cheers!
I like Dube and Renegade props.
Dube....boxes, hats, ball, rings
Renegade...torches, hats,
Just got some Henri's clubs I love. Delphin longs.
Nimbus 20" unis for my show. Kris Holm for off-road.
All great quality.
I am now dodging tennis balls lofted by my 14 yr old. Between winter and pandemic, cabin fever is rampant. But no signs of The Shining, so things could be worse. Can’t wait to get out on the trail again.
Better than croquet balls...!
years ago when I got to the outside cascade I thought I was something.
It still is!
You are a very good teacher
Thankee. I always appreciated my good teachers.
shug something tells me you have an interesting life story to tell...
I can't complain......czcams.com/video/-uRIpEV9RDc/video.html
But Shug....I just have 2 balls! Hahahahaha
Pocket pool!
Hi Shug,
Thank you so much for these juggling videos, i have wanted to learn this since i was a kid. I'm into the two ball drills right now.
Also enjoy your humorous approach to hammock camping, your perspective on the trails etc.
Question: how do clowns come up with their face paint scheme?
inside i have a clown, but he's the most shy of all the clowns in the world?
Often dreamed of running off with the circus. But know I'd miss my family too much.
Take care, Robert
Thanks. You kinda decide if you are a whiteface, auguste or character clown. Then let your face define your look.

Sweet! Thanks for getting to four balls! So I've got this one except I've struggled for years trying to sustain more throws. Three I can do for a long long time, so what I'm hoping is there's some kind of pattern you can do with four, but, crosses over in some similar, but, not the same as three. Secondly I'm dying to see what happens after four. Please?
There are a lot of 4 ball combos but the one I showed is the basic one to get down first.
5 balls comes after 4 in progression. Takes a lot of time to get. Need perfect throws.
OK Shug, at 4:15, you caught me! I was not ready for 3 balls yet.... And Im going back to 2....happy? :)
OK I'm ready for the 5 ball cascade
Start Throwing~~!
Can the table pattern/practice be eventually turned into bouncing them off the floor to juggle? Love learning new things - thanks Shug.
It sure can. Just get good bounce balls....www.renegadejuggling.com/play-g-force-bounce-ball-60mm
Thanks for this awesome series! You look familiar--did you ever perform at Tourettes Without Regrets in Oakland, CA?
I never have been there. All us old juggs look alike! haaaa
Good on ya Shug!!
I can see some similarities between juggling and drums..the evenness of your hands...I taught my left hand by mimicking my right,maybe have them throw both balls up..try to make them even heights..and speed.
Just my thoughts..all do respect..
Thanks for the soap and balm! And yes...drumming and juggling are in a way related.
@@shugemery the least I could do.
I see in yer vids you talk of getting yer wife some...so I thought it was yer turn!
LOLOL
thank you so much!
You're welcome! Toss on and on.....
Right nice video 👌
Thanks and thankee....
Thanks so much for helping us break the monotony.
I keep getting ball strikes mid air. I think it's timing but is there anything I should focus on to avoid it? It seems to either throw 4 or 6. BTW, if I ever get the chance to see you perform live I'll be the oldest most excited kid there.
EDIT: I think I was soft throwing the 3rd ball because I was hurrying it. Working on timing seems to be fixing it... but it's going to have to wait for later, my arms are tired. No wonder Shug stays in such good shape.
Give it time. Practice. Go back to the 2 ball throw for 15 throws until nothing collides. Then back to 3 balls, then back to 2 balls. Make throws equal and don't rush second and third throws. Don't make pattern too narrow.
Next week.....unlit facee feest stoves, haha.
Oh, easy peasy....
Hello Shug, my underquilt arrived today and I am very excited to use it tonight instead of my exped sleep pad! Is there a budget set of juggling balls or a substitute you would recommend?
Lacrosse ball. Tennis ball, baseball, dog ball, rolled up socks. Orange, apple, lemon!
Good beanbag...www.dube.com/beanbag/juggling-beanbags.php
Shug, thanks very much for this. I needed something practical to learn at the moment. It’s a time for self improvement. What would you recommend for someone buying juggling balls? I see soft ones, ‘stage balls’, different sizes... just looking for a ‘proper’ set to have in the family for 3 ball juggling. Sorry if you’ve been asked by someone else and answered - I looked and couldn’t find it.
Start here.....www.dube.com/beanbag/juggling-beanbags.php
Beanbags are great.
shugemery thank you
Sorcerer!
Jester~~~
Hey Shug, Russian balls - up or down with that sort of thing? I welcome your opinion, I am poised to buy some like a coiled spring.
I tried some but did not like them. They have sand in them and are soft. A good beanbag or stage ball will serve you better.
Is there a specific brand of juggling balls you recommend? Seems like there is spectrum of options with differing quality. I'd be happy to click an affiliate link if you have a recommendation.
I like these but any will do.....www.dube.com/beanbag/fourway-stretch-beanbags.php
Would a baseball be a good starter weight and size, Mr. Emery
yeah. That'll work for sure.
Shug...love all your content but we need a new mandolin video!
Got it on my to-do list!
I learned 3 balls as a kid, but tried to work on 5 a year or so ago. I lost interest without having much success after drilling a few weeks. I know that it is all about throwing consistency and hand speed. Do you have suggestions for learning 5 ball cascade?
Should have read farther in the comments before making mine. :) Woo buddy and thanks for the Taylor Tries link!
Make sure to do all the 5 ball pre-drills. Really really helps!
@@shugemery I will, and dag nabbit, I am going to learn 5 ball cascade! I will report back with evidence.
Shug, you know i love ya things, but i'm not going too play with balls
Orbs! Spheres! Oh, the ball humor.
Shug, I have been practicing and I have the 1-2-3 throws but for some reason I can’t throw the fourth throw. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for helping me.
Focus only on getting that 4th throw our of your hand. Don't worry about catching it for now. Say 4 out loud when you throw it. Just throw it.
I'm now dizzy, but, thankfully... only on days which end in "Y".
So not Mondee?
Bored waiting on parts to get pulled... Did you know you can juggle 3 shop rags tied in knots?
lugnuts work well too.
Hey, I’ve been doing 3 for 30 years... how about teaching 4. I would be very interested.
A peek at the end....see what is happening?
Looks like I’ll stick with 3. 🤣😂
