I have just started juggling and really love it! Can anyone provide me any books or videos that will help me?

Mezmer,
Here are some web sites for you. The last one has all the dealers in the mall and they will have the books and tapes. There may be a juggling club near you and that is a great way to improve.

Another very good site for written trick descriptions is http://www.twjc.co.uk Lots of great tricks with good explinations.

My favorite book on ball juggling would certainly be "The Encyclopaedia of Ball Juggling" by Charlie Dancey. Lots of tricks, as well as passing patterns, and an introduction to various notations and site-swaps. All nicely illustrated with cartoons from the author.

There are other books I have, but if you're just into ball juggling (as opposed to diabolos, devil sticks, etc.), the Encyclopaedia and the various web-sites have plenty of stuff to keep you busy.

As for videos, "3b Different Ways" by Pea Pot (Maksim Komaro and Ville Walo, with Jay Gilligan) is a great three ball juggling video.

You should also look into the newsgroup "juggling.rec".
You can accsess it via http://www.jugglingdb.com. A great place to learn, talk and see nice videos.

Juggling is a great thing, have a lot of fun!
---------Charles.

Great advice above!

For 3 ball tricks, I'll add Beyond the Cascade by George Gillson. I've found it easy to learn from and a pleasure to read.
