Many years ago I actually semi-taught myself to juggle. I bought a book and juggling balls. I figured I would never learn how to play guitar so I challenged myself to keep three balls up in the air for more than 3 seconds. What I needed was someone who also knew how, to tell me where I was going wrong. In time, really not so hard. Recently, I found this book with bean bag squares. At least they don’t roll always when dropped.

I could never master juggling. I never went as far as to really try and teach myself how to do it but maybe had I seen ‚ÄúJuggling for the Complete Klutz” I might have gotten farther than I did than by trying it on my own with tennis balls, which I thought were pretty innocent, and smashing my mother’s favorite vase.
A really good friend of mine, the very all-around talented Hillary Carlip, won the Gong Show in the mid-70s with her singing and juggling skills. Watch a pro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-M5uVyfO7Y

I used to get Klutz’s catalog. They are still publishing this book, along with the juggling cubes:

A few of my friends were on there in their early days – Sandra Bernhard and Paul Reubens among them.
