HOLY COW! I'm glad I found this site. Anywho, my name is Robby, I was born almost eighteen years ago in utah and here I remain. Since I was little I was obsessed with Jim Henson and David Bowie, so when I first saw Labyrinth... Well I needed to learn how in the blazes Bowie did that magic trick with the crystal ball, so I taught myself to butterfly with a bouncy ball. :ball: Wasn't until about two years ago that I figured out what contact juggling was and YouTube helped alot. :stack: Anyways, that's a little bit about me, if anyone cares :D

Well, it's good that you found SOMETHING fun to do in Utah. :) I have family there... I understand. ;) I used to visit Tooele every year.

Welcome to the fun! Tea?

@frawg I have three 2.5" acrylics and one 2.5" light up ball, methinks I need to do some shopping :)

I have yet to see a need for anything smaller than 3.5" if you're doing single ball work..
