Clowning Educational Resources

JUGGLING

Juggling is a skill that is as much fun for the performer as it is for an audience. You can use juggling in your show, at birthday parties and even as a gig all by itself.  These books can be ordered through AMAZON BOOKS which is probably the worlds largest on-line book store.  Any referral fees help pay for the upkeep of this website.   Many of these books are also available through your local clown supplies dealer.

As valuable as these books are, there is no better way to learn than from attending a regional clown convention. Experts in the field selflessly give of their knowledge and talent because they are devoted to improving the art of clowning. Attend conventions, they are well worth the investment!

Juggling for the Complete Klutz/With Block Beanbags, by John Cassidy 

Review from Amazon.Com:
I received this for my birthday from my parents four years ago. Within two weeks I was a "crack" juggler with three beanbags or two in either hand. This is from a real "Complete Klutz," too. I mean, I was just pathetic. This is an awesome book. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE can learn to juggle with it. And I've never found anything better to juggle with than the included beanbags. If you want to juggle, BUY IT!
