I had heard about this girl before, but I had always assumed the tale was exaggerated. After all, you would have to have such an improbable amount of control over a unicycle, rolling globe, and kickups. But then the other night I found this video. It’s one of those videos I can hardly believe even as I’m watching it. Rather than explain the tricks in detail, I’ll just let you watch it.
Makes me wonder how much truth there is in the other “big fish” stories that circus performers tell.
I think this is the first time I have seen good quality video footage of Alexander Kiss. It’s easy to see why he’s become so famous throughout the juggling community.

This guy took a video of himself skiing/paragliding down a mountain. Man, that’d be a fun way to go to work! I wonder how he keeps from being blown into the side of some of those cliffs?
This guy is demonstrating his computerized physics drawing board. He can draw objects and they will behave realistically. It would be cool to be able to play around with something like that.
I thought this article about a hidden underground facility was so cool! Granted, if I had an underground facility I wouldn’t waste it by growing marijuana in it, but I still have to admire the dedication and skill it must have taken to build it. It even has escape routes!

After being thrashed at the WJF UK Open, Vova Galchenko was apparently feeling pretty down about his juggling. He released two practice videos to “boost his self-esteem”. I don’t know how effective they were at making him feel better, but there is some pretty incredible juggling on these videos! It’s hard to pick out highlights Click Here to continue reading.
