This first one features some interesting shared patterns as well as BBB tricks.  Very creative moves, and great editing.

The beginning of this next video involves person to person contact juggling transfers.  I haven’t really seen much of this sort of thing, so I was especially taken by it.

This last video doesn’t allow embedding but it can be viewed here. There isn’t really person to person juggling patterns in this one so much, rather it is focused on executing perfectly timed side-by-side siteswaps.  Beautiful to look at, and very technical in execution.

Interesting video that Jiahui brought to my attention. I’d never even considered the idea of a numerical notation for something like shaker cup passing. Brilliant!

This video features some of the best cinematography I have ever seen in a juggling video. Not to mention the absolutely brilliant club manipulations. The urban decay imagery really adds to the artistry of the whole video for a truly hypnotic viewing experience.

There’s juggling and there’s magic. This is a case of the latter. Watch especially the last 30 seconds because that’s just incredible.

This is one of the most beautiful practice videos (at least that’s what I think it is) ever. The whole video revolves around just a handful of moves but yet, there’s so much grace, it’s mesmerizing. I really really like this new direction Manipulation is heading towards. Anyone has similar experimental videos to share?

I caught this via Ministry of Manipulation – three and four ball patterns with manipulation integrated. I must say I like the three-ball patterns better because they look smoother despite probably being easier to pull off.

This video has been getting some attention for a few months now, but it NEEDS a mention here on Street Juggling.  I guess it is inevitable that someone would eventually make a parkour/juggling video, and perhaps it already has been done, but even it is has, the sheer talent and creativity displayed in this video is breath taking.  As if finding ways to juggle balls and cigar boxes while jumping around like a maniac wasn’t enough, this guy even adds card throwing, skateboarding, martial arts, and various other manipulations into the mix.  This is seriously one of the best compiled displays of overall physical talent I have ever seen captured on video.  Also interesting to note, the guy in the video isn’t even a performer, rather he’s a professional video game animator.  Talk about a Renaissance Man!

I had a chance before school started a few months ago to meet David and talk about his art.

Me: David, would you like to tell us about what got you started with the Roue Cyr and some of your career performing?

David: I first saw Daniel Cyr perform in it in 2002 in cirque eloize’s show,”excentricus”. I immediately wanted to learn. I got a Roue Cyr made a few years later while at a dance conservatory in Austria. I ended up getting 3 more made after that to find one the right size. I spent a lot of time alone in studios trying to learn it.

Me: Where has your performing taken you?

David: I’ve performed it in the U.S., Brazil, Switzerland, Austria, the Dominican Republic and Belgium.

Me: Sound pretty amazing, traveling the world, spinning in a hoop. What are your plans currently?

David: I’m currently on a 70 city tour with Cirque Dreams’ new show “Illumination” where I will be doing a Roue Cyr number, roller blading, unicycling, singing, and living on a bus.

Me: Well I wish you luck with your show. It was a pleasure talking to you about these things.

I highly recommend seeing David’s number live, it is simply amazing. For more information on Cirque Dreams, and where to see the show next, Click here
