Oldie but Goodie...

 

Here's a comedy quickie that has been used by many jugglers. After a rather difficult feat of jugglery, the performer removes his handkerchief from his coat breast pocket, wipes the perspiration from his brow and throws the hank to the floor. It bounces back up to the hand and is replaced in pocket, and the show goes on.

 

The secret lies in a small rubber ball sewn in the center of the hank. If you prefer to eliminate the sewing, the ball can be held in the center of the hank with a rubber band.
