Hi fellow juggling lovers!
Does any one know of any books on the market that have good juggling acts in them...? Like How to be a Goofy juggler By Bruce Fife... Thanks Chuck |

Essentially there aren't any. At the back of 'The Complete Juggler' by Dave Finnigan there are some act ideas. However your best bet is to actually watch some jugglers and this will give you act ideas. Most street juggling shows have similar structures (big, noisy opening trick, lots of waffle, best trick at the end) Cabaret acts tend to be short and technical or longer and humourous. Get some of Alan Plotkin's DVDs for an idea of acts that appear at juggling conventions.

The IJA sells a comedy book by Richard Dingman, but I can't remember the title.

Thinking again (twice in one day!) It depends what sort of act you are after. If it isn't just straight juggling then books like 'Want to be a juggler?' by George DeMott and 'Manipulative Miscellania' by Reginald W. Bacon are worth looking through if you can get hold of them. Although they don't have gags, they do have ideas that, being different from what people are now used to, allow you to create gags. Not very well explained but very informative books for the historically inclined (the first might be impossible to get hold of, the second merely hard).
