What is contact juggling?

in the film Jim Henson Film Labyrinth , published in 1986, Goblin King, played David Bowie, is shown to juggle crystal balls and greatly convert them over their hands. In fact, Bowie did not do juggling, called contact juggling. Genius for this coordination was a juggler named Michael Moschen, who became one of the greatest practices of contact juggling. The balls can be converted over the face, shoulders, neck or arms. One of Moschen's most amazing tricks is his ability to pause the ball from his index finger, which seems to resist gravity laws. Almost every time the news show at that time performed a piece of amazing Moschen abilities, which was different in many of the more recognized forms of juggling. Although Moschen is often attributed to the invention of contact juggling, this form of rolling ball, especially on the back of the hands, reaches back to Chinese acrobats who performed an artistic form at least 200 years ago.

Another form of contact juggling, which most people immediately recognize, is the work done by Harl Globetrotters. Spinning Balls on the tips of the fingers is another aspect of contact juggling that has been pleased for years. Harlem Globetrotters also use a ball that rolls over their arms and through the neck and shoulders.

Michael Moschen now often does not use contact juggling, but its other routines are stunning accuracy and visual arrests. Tyas Frantz is very popular in the world of contact juggling and regularly performs in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Moschen'splace has inspired many people to learn the art of juggling, and now there are videos, books and seminars that can help those who want to learn. It requires extraordinary coordination and seems to learn more easily in children than adults.
