What is Juggling?
“In its general sense, juggling can refer to all forms of artful or skillful object manipulation. This includes most prop-based circus skills such as diabolo, devil sticks, cigar box manipulation, Fire-twirling, contact juggling, and hat manipulation.
Jugglers refer to the objects they juggle as props, the most popular being specially made balls, beanbags, rings, clubs, or bouncing balls. Some performers also use “dangerous” objects such as knives and fire torches.
The word “juggling” derives from the Middle English “jogelen”, to entertain by performing tricks, in turn from the French “jongleur”, the Old French “jogler”, the Latin “ioculr”, to jest, and “iocus”, a joke.”
