Bobby May, 4 clubs, 343 KB
Bobby May performed this brief 4 club routine for a fan's movie camera, starting with a series of 4 clubs dropped to his foot and kicked back into the 4 club pattern, changing to a 4 club half shower, moving to synchronous throws and 4 club splits, and finishing with a high throw caught behind his back. But that's not all. Bobby did this entire routine with a fifth club balanced, base down, on his forehead.

Francis Brunn, impossible trick, 705 KB
This is a segment of an appearance by Francis Brunn on the Jack Benny television show in 1961, and shows what I often describe to others as an utterly impossible trick. Francis holds 2 large balls in his left hand, which do nothing except to demonstrate that his left hand is not used. He holds a large ball in his right hand, and kicks another large ball from his foot to his forehead. He spins the ball in his right hand on his finger, and then drops the ball on his forehead to the back of his neck as he bends forward. He then straightens up, dropping the ball on his neck down his back. Just before it reaches the ground, he kicks it with his heel, causing it to fly back up over his head in front of him. As it descends, he catches it perfectly, on top of the other ball, still spinning on his finger! Note that this is not done with editing, or by giving him many chances until he got it. This is one of the tricks Brunn performed in his act, in front of live audiences, every night.

Francis Brunn, combination trick, 1380 KB
This is Francis Brunn's famous combination trick, also from his appearance on the Jack Benny show. Standing on his left leg, Francis spins 2 large rings on his right leg, and 2 more on his right arm, as he spins a large ball on his right forefinger. A smaller ball is perched on top of a stick held in his mouth, while another ball sits on a stick balanced on his forehead. At the same time, Francis juggles 3 rings effortlessly in his left hand. Though often copied by many, this trick has never been duplicated completely by anyone with Brunn's excellent style and showmanship.

Anthony Gatto, 8 rings, 480 KB
After winning the U.S. Nationals the night before at age 13, Anthony Gatto closed the 1986 IJA public show with an incredible display of technical juggling. His entire routine was executed perfectly, and consisted entirely of the most difficult tricks anyone could hope to see, including this run of 16 throws and catches with 8 rings. These performances were also notable as the first times Anthony ever performed in long pants.

Anthony Gatto, 5 clubs, 1180 KB
Anthony Gatto finished his public show performance with this 5 club routine, including a kick-up start with a balance, kneeling, throws under each leg, 6 throws behind the back with each hand, 14 backcrosses, two 3-high half-pirouettes, and a 5-high full pirouette. It is safe to say that this was the most technically difficult 5 club routine ever performed by any juggler, and was done in front of an audience of 2500 jugglers and fans, flawlessly, at the age of 13.

Jugit Recurse, 667 KB
This is a demonstration of the work done by Dave Blumenthal (blumenth@eng.pko.dec.com) and Tom Rutledge (gulfie@yar.cs.wisc.edu), as part of their Jugit project to generate raytrace animations of juggling. This animation shows a machine juggling 5 smaller machines, each of which does likewise. Set your MPEG player to loop, and you will zoom in on the action.
