Ask the Professional

by Frank Olivier

(Frank Olivier is a professional comedian andjuggler from Berkeley. California)

 

Hey Frank! What the heck are you doing writing a column? You're no writer!

Still Laughing

 

Dear Still,

Having been touring with the show SUGAR BABIES for the better part of the last two years performing a comedy juggling act I feel it my duty to my fellow jugglers to let them in on some of the inside scoop and tips from the professional side of show business through a jugglers point of view... and it does no good to try to disguise your  hand­writing, Mom.

 

Dear Professional,

I'm having trouble learning to pass clubs with triple turns. Any advice? 

I. Droppler

Dear I,

When passing clubs with triple spins or more (especially numbers passing) I use a technique I call spotting. Once you've made a good throw, remember where and how that club peaks, just before it falls. Aim all future clubs to match that spot you've remembered rather than paying attention to the other person's hand.

 

Dear Professional,

Is there a six ball pattern that is easier to learn than the rest?

Stuck on Five

Dear Stuck,

Yes. For some people the half shower or half cascade (both the same) proves easier to learn. It's a crossing pattern where the balls are thrown almost simultaneously, one hand throwing the balls slightly higher, the other of course a little lower so the overall shape is sort of a crescent. Of course if you're to the point of juggling 6 balls you should be familiar with it.

 

For the beginners, it can be done with three. One hand simply lobs the balls over the other hands' throws.

 

Dear Professional,

I've been having trouble with the timing passing eight clubs with double turns, do you have any tips?

   Rhythymless

Dear Rhythmless,

Yes, sing "Tea For Two" and get the sound of clubs hitting hands to match the rhythm. This may or may not help, but it's sure a lot of fun to try.

 

Dear Professional,

Do you mind if I ask you a technical question? It's regarding the diagramming of a seven ball flight pattern in a half cascade. I'm wondering how the hand time to air time ratio is affected by the throws of different heights by the opposite hands.

  Puzzled

Dear Puzzled,

No, I don't mind.
