I am sure we have all seen this vid but anyway what is the name of the stall that he uses at the very end of the performance? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvz0xIYc ... re=related



Also can anyone give any advice on how to pull this off? I have been working on it lately with slooooowwwww progress.

That's a jackknife stall.

Approach it like you would any stall point. Find the stall - practice putting the ball there and stall it - then try rolling the ball to the stall point - then start throwing it there.
I never worked on this particular stall but I hear it can be a bit tricky. But you'll get it. ^_^

I always teach stalls in the opposite manner, try throwing it there then rolling it there.

f'ing jackknife. My recommendation is to incorporate it into your technical framework - start by butterflying from your palm to a cradle behind your head, and there's your jackknife right there. You're gonna have to play around with your elbow and shoulder a lot to make it work. This one realllly wants to creep directly in front of you, which means more control but less integration with other moves.

I actually have another question. When okotanpe does this stall I noticed that he transfers over the inside of his palm instead of rolling from a cradle behind his head. Does it matter which way I choose to accomplish this stall? or is it another one of those "whatever works for me" kind of tricks?

Whatever floats your boat. It's a good learning opportunity to go through what works and what doesn't. It might also help when learning moves in the future.

The real key to this stall is witchcraft. Plain and simple witchcraft.

Its the answer to everything we do

Make sure the candles smell like bubblegum, that adds to the witchy power factor by at least a +2.

It always makes a beginner feel better seeing accomplished contact jugglers still slip up from time to time. We all know that everyone has to practice from time to time but sometimes its hard to remember that when you see such spot on performers like those that make up this community. Regardless, great video.
