Hey, I want to buy a 14 ball set for numbers juggling, but I don't know what to exactly
get. I want to make sure that I can hold 7 balls in each hand to flash 14 balls.
Is there anyone who has any advice? I already have a 9 ball set that I train with.
I use gballz e8 70g minis. But I want slightly bigger, also how underfilled do they need to
be?
Perhaps you have somebody near to you that juggles infinitys so you could try if they work for you. They are usually at EJCs where you could try them. They let you configure weight, filling and size.

Hi, the nest festival I will be attending is Portland juggling festival and I'm currently working on four ball mills mess.

Welcome to the edge! Yeah, the 4 ball mill mess is quite hard to learn.
I don't even have it down that good. What do you focus on? numbers juggling or tricks?
I was wondering how many people can currently qualify 9 balls?
because I plan to successfully do it within the next 15 days before I turn 15.
https://old.reddit.com/r/juggling/comments/df0tyx/9_ballers_qualifiers_ff/
...over a hundred, we found in collaboration and from most various sources - naturally then lacking a surely major number of 9-ballers never online or not in a community or unknown due to a language barrier (asia, ...)
I was wondering, how many people can flash 10 balls?
I'm sure you can't give a exact number but I would like to have
a estimate.

No fewer than 49, based on Juggling-records.com. I would guess more like 100-150 range, but that could still be putting it too low.

thanks, I hope to be in the top 50 numbers jugglers someday.

I was really close to flashing 10 balls today.
I got 9 catches and barely missed the 10th

Has anybody seen photos of the site of the EJC 2026 in Ptuj? Are there inside photos of the gyms? Where is the information? Here [0] is only text, even not mentioning the size of the gyms. The text: "24h Hall, Day Hall, Acro/Aerial Hall, and Kids Hall" reads for me like there is 1 gym open 24/9 and the other gym only for the day and closes at night. Also there will be a Acro/Arial hall and a kids hall. I am a bit sad that there is so little information. Does anybody know more?

btw. there are only 77 gala show tickets left.

I wrote an email to the EJA:
Hello,
my name is momo and I started in the circus scene in 2009. I have organized some conventions and travelled a lot for circus events through Europe.
The circus scene is my happy place. I really enjoy this place and would love to have more people experiencing circus by trying it out themselves. Not consuming but creating and training.
EJCs are the heart of the circus scene in my opinion. They are a parallel universe for 9 days for the attending people. I helped setting up 3 EJCs over the years (2012, 2013, 2016) and it was a pleasure to see how people seek solutions for challenges they encounter on the way.
After telling a bit about myself I would like to bring up my point.
Every EJC has a website https://ejc2026.org as an example. The website is controlled by the organisation team of the corresponding EJC. Every EJC must provide news about their event on that website. That should be the primary source of information. Not any silos of proprietary companies. You can mirror that information on such services, but it should be on the website of the convention at first and be accessible. The accessability is also mandatory in the EU [0] since last year.
I have talked with organizers of the Papendal EJC 2 years before the EJC taking place that information should not be on instagram first. To follow information about the event you needed an instagram account. They did the opposite and mirrored instagram via embedding in the EJC website. This does not help.
The EJA and the EJCs must use their own websites to provide information and not force people to use proprietary platforms.
This year the announcement for the ticket shop opening was on instagram and not on the website. I was on a circus convention and was able to buy a ticket from the second batch because people from that event where being informed via instagram.
This is no communication strategy. This is no sovereignity. This is not a way of creating a community. This makes me furious for the past years.
I know from own experience that organizing even a smaller convention for 500-700 people takes a lot of work. But in every EJC there should be tech-savy people that can put information concerning the event on their website.
Sorry for that harsh criticism. But the situation is just unbearable. I am happy to have a discussion about the topic.
Greetings,
momo.

Up until now I did not receive even a message that the EJA received my complaint. :(
I got an answer from the president of the EJA. They are open for discussion. I would love to talk to them before the EJC or have an in person meeting at the EJC.
Would you like to join the discussion? I would love to exchange opinions on how ho make the status quo better for everyone in the future. I would very interested in hearing your opinions and learn from your knowledge.
I suspect my views will be the same as yours, but I’ll try to get around to writing something.
I'm pragmatic, and I understand that event organisers want to get their message out to as many people as possible. It makes sense for them to post on the corporate social media sites. I am not asking or telling them not to do that. But I am asking them to understand that those sites these days are increasingly closed data silos, requiring web surfers to have an account with them to even view posts there. This effectively shuts out a large number of people from reading posts there: anyone who - for whatever reason* - doesn't want to have an account with [FB/IG/TikTok/Twitter/whoever].
Event organisers should always ensure that they put their information on an open web source. Typically their own web page. If they make it the default behaviour to post on their own website FIRST, they can *then* make a post on any/all social media sites saying, for example...
"Hey folks, we have news! Check out our site for the latest pre-registration prices for CoNvenTioN. Don't miss out! [web page URL]"
If organisers of smaller events might say "oh, we don't have anyone to build a website for us", then okay - but you can get a wordpress site for free at https://wordpress.com/ . A basic website with text and images is perfect to get your message across to *everyone*.
(If you do have a Wordpress site, either on wordpress.com or self-hosted, then you should seriously consider installing the ActivityPub plugin. It automatically pushes every post/page out to the fediverse for you. (Mastodon/Pixelfed/Lemmy/PeerTube, etc) And if you're not familiar with what the fediverse is, it's social media that's free from Big Tech billionaires, ads and algorithms. Please check out Elena's excellent short video which gives a great overview of what it is, and why you should join. https://tlmb.net/blog/whats-the-fediverse/ )
Thanks for keeping the web free and open to everyone.
*[These corporate sites stole your data, sold it to Cambridge Analytica, who enabled Brexit and Trump. They kowtow to fascists. They convinced you never to leave their sites, and locked you in because they've trapped your friends and family too. They're using your data to train AI, without your permission. Including all your photos. Reason enough? The fediverse doesn't do any of this. You can leave, and you will never regret it. Come join the open social web!]
These are shared views. Would you be interested in a joined conversation (either video call or EJC) with the EJA and me? Anybody else interested in expressing their views?
seconded.
{ no one needs those sites that come and go, get bought by new possessor, accumulate to that big meta-amazon-fb-musk-dsukerbeurps-apple-windows-cookies-vendors-nsa-...-whatnotall ... and they force you, the lemming, to always click "OK" to their 50 pages long ToU }
UK folks - the TV variety show The Good Old Days is back on BBC iplayer and broadcast at the moment, looks like 5 episodes from the 70s being repeated this time round. Often one or two specialty or circus acts an episode.
(The City Varieties itself is still going as a theatre but the occasional variety shows it hosts are very much third artist syndrome at this point, copies of copies of the heyday of variety. Only worthwhile for specific acts you know you want to see, imho.)
Valente-Valente are in this one:

I don’t think I’d seen this version of their act before.
And “Panto” in this one, doing some hat spinning and more.
