A few years ago I decided I wanted to develop juggling as a talent, and went so far as to purchase a set of three juggling beanbag balls. I tried a few times, watched some YouTube videos about how to do it, and maybe sort of got a little better. But I did not get better fast enough, and quickly abandoned it. Unfortunately, deterred, I gave the balls away in a pre-moving purge last year.
Summers started juggling when he was 15 in 1975. At that point, he’d already learned how to ride a unicycle. “I always took a different path, and juggling was on that path.” But, encouragingly for me, he didn’t pick the skill up immediately. “I was slow to learn at first,” he said. “I’ve taught many people who can learn in like twenty minutes, but it took me a few days.
The video I chose to teach me was titled “Learn to JUGGLE 3 BALLS - Beginner Tutorial,” and I chose it because it was the only one in my search results whose still image featured a woman. The woman, named Taylor Glenn, begins by explaining that dropping your juggling balls is not a mistake — it’s an essential part of juggling. You just have to pick your balls up once again after you drop them. “Enjoy the journey of juggling,” she says. “Enjoy the drops.
I will tell you that lemons and limes are not ideal for juggling, as a beginner, because they are too small and oddly shaped, and because they make a noise that might annoy your neighbors when they fall, plus every time they do you think: oh no, I need these for cocktails. Onions are not ideal because they are different sizes and uniformly very messy with their crusty onion coat. The dog’s fetching balls are pretty good, but I only have two of them.
