“About Manipulation” is a project wanted by Ministry of Manipulation. We’ve tought there a lot of videos with people playing, and so few videos with people talking about their experiences and ideas in contact juggling. We would like to show you what’s behind a contact juggler, and what he lives with this amazing art. We are sorry because there were so much great contact jugglers we miss at ejc..but weather was terrible and time wasn’t so much. Anyway, this is a gift for the contact juggling community. Hope you’ll like it…Please feel free to share it wherever you want. Big thanks to Stefano Ricci and Federico Tasso for the patience and help.
Thanks for watching!

I am so happy to see this video finally come out. For me, it captures a hugely important piece of the juggling festival experience which is lacking from most online videos; talking to people! Even though i know all of these people already, it is so insightful to hear them thinking and talking about the same things that I think and talk about all the time. So many good brains all working together, and such an inspiring result.
I really really think some of the tricks in there are amazing too. So cool so cool.

Dang, super nice! This makes me much happier to be a contact juggler today.

Sorry to have missed you for shooting. One big lesson learned at EJC: spend more time in multiball tent! Looking forward to Toulouse...

Haha, and Teku: "maybe I'm biased because I'm into bodyrolling... but... more bodyrolling."

Thanks for posting this. It's encouraging to hear how other CJers feel about contact in their own words.

Wow, a true joy to watch. What a great way to start the day, with this video and some tea.
Moon's style is so amazing. I've said this all before, but his control and the slow smooth rythm in which he performs makes me forget where I am and what I'm watching. Also, it is inspiring to see so many great contact jugglers actually talking about their art.
If, it is ok I think I'd like to post this on Facebook? I can't think of a better way to share Contact Juggling Day.

:ditto:

This was incredibly powerful. This is what we are all about. The 2011 collaboration video and this are the 2 things I will always direct people to who want to know what contact juggling is all about. Words are not enough.

Thank you Moon!
