Sydney Juggling

Juggling is magic ….

sydneyjuggling

Juggling balls, juggling rings, juggling clubs, all this and more has been done by Sydney Jugglers over the last month. We’ve been juggling at football finals, schools, festivals and Vivid. If you’d like to hire one of these skilful people, just contact them and they’ll entertain your children, your employees and your friends.

It’s time to say goodbye to our friends at Juggleart. They’ve been part of the juggling community for many years and it’s sad to see them go. Farewell Juggleart, and best of juggling luck for the future.

If you want to buy juggling balls in Sydney, it’s quite difficult because there are no juggling shops in Sydney. Buying juggling balls from overseas can attract attention from customs, so for juggling balls it’s best to buy from people like balls for your mind

Customs is not very interested in other props, so buying high quality clubs or hats or rings from overseas is no problem. It’s quite easy to buy from places like Oddballs in London, and their prices are not too high. A good quality juggling club should cost about 30-40 dollars (Australian) per club.  Our personal favourites are Henry’s Delphins, they’re light and good for numbers juggling.

In other news, it’s almost time for GeniiCon which is going to be the largest ever magic convention in Australia. It will be great. Go along and have a look and learn from the best magicians in the country.

In local juggling news, Marrickville Fire Jam is holding events every Thursday afternoon in Enmore, whilst the local universities and juggling clubs are still holding their weekly get togethers. Check them out.

Even if you don’t have special juggling balls, you can still throw some tennis balls in the air and try to catch them. Juggling is a skill you can try anywhere, it will amuse you, entertain your friends and in desperate times you can even busk for lunch….or rent…which is probably more appropriate for Sydney…

And remember

Juggling is Magic….

Sydney Juggling- March for Juggling….

As summer leaves us the jugglers of Sydney are returning home to throw juggling balls, juggling rings and juggling clubs. They’ve  been training hard for the new year and are ready to perform for your children’s birthday party, corporate event, fete, fair or celebration. Why not hire a juggler today?

January and February were all about overseas travel with many adventures with Italian and French jugglers. Check out our Instagram page for some amazing European performers. Some preview pictures are above.

And for more incredible jugglers have a look at the IJA tricks of the month.

If you want to buy some new juggling props, try our friends at Oddballs in London, their prices are good for Aussies. Locally, Juggleart is the place to buy your juggling balls. And if you want to learn juggling, or just throw things in the air randomly and pretend it’s juggling ,check out the local juggling clubs.

The universities are back in session, and both Circusoc at UNSW, and SURCAS  at the  University of Sydney are holding meetings and training sessions regularly. Non students are also welcome to join these sessions. The prices are cheap, and the quality is high.

And sometimes we like to acknowledge magicians too, because they are fellow performers. Happily Sydney has a very vibrant magic scene and in June there will be a huge magic convention which will be a riotously fun event full of….ummmm…..magic!

But remember, juggling is real, whilst magic is only illusionary.

Happy juggling.

The spring sunshine is making Sydney jugglers yearn for juggling balls, clubs and rings and they’ll be using all three at the Melbourne Juggling Convention.

But before that, the International Juggling Association is holding their Oceania Regional Competition. We’re thrilled that Sydney’s Kenny Cheung is a finalist and equally thrilled that our friend from Tasmania, Joe Fisher, is one too. Congratulations to everybody who made it. If you want to see them in action, pop along to the show in Melbourne and be prepared to have your mind blown.

Or if you prefer to hire Kenny, or another wonderful juggler for your kid’s party entertainment or corporate event, you can check out the professionals at Sydney Jugglers.

Perhaps you’re in the mood to hire balloon twisters, face painters, unicyclists, hoopers and clowns? Well you can just contact our friends at Fun23 entertainment who will provide all sorts of talented children’s party entertainers for you. They’re fabulous, professional, and absolutely juggly.

Sydney Jugglers are continuing to meet up once a week in various halls around Sydney. Everybody is welcome, but if you just want to have a peek at what we do, you can check us out on Instagram.

And when you decide to become a juggler, you can buy some wonderful props from Oddballs, the friendliest juggling shop in Europe, and don’t forget the competition at Juggling TV, where you can win some great prizes.

and never, ever forget…….

Sydney Juggling- Spring is for Jugglers

Jugglers in Sydney love spring.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing and there are lots of great  shows where we can entertain people by juggling balls, rings and clubs and anything else that happens to be nearby.

If you’re hosting a kid’s party, a corporate event or simply want to celebrate the return of flowers, kookaburras and warm weather, you should hire a Sydney juggler to make it an even hotter occasion.

This time of year is so exciting because there are so many juggly and circussy things happening.

Locally, the University of NSW Circus Society is holding an extravaganza at Studio One Sydney from September 14-16. It’s called, Out of Line: A Story of Misadventures, and will be a showcase of acrobatics, aerial work and juggling. It’s guaranteed to be fun with lots of young circus performers doing weird stuff. Pop along for a fabulous night out.

Then in Melbourne, from September 21-22, the International Juggling Association is holding its Oceania Regional Competition. Some of the best jugglers in the world will be competing for the honour of being the Oceania Juggling Champion. This will be an incredible display of the most accomplished jugglers in our region.

Afterwards you might want to visit the Melbourne Juggling Convention, held in Collingwood from September 22-25.

Finally, our great friends at Juggling TV are holding a fantastic competition where jugglers can win prizes for just sending in videos. The prizes are from Oddballs, our favourite international juggling shop, where you can buy almost anything juggly or hoopy or diablo-ey. They also post worldwide, so Aussie Jugglers don’t miss out.

Remember if you want to practice for your Juggling TV video or for the IJA you can come and join us for meetups once a week in the inner city of Sydney. Or if you are interested in watching us in action you can have a sticky beak (look) at our instagram page.

And as they say in Vlagtwedde,
