> Hi Guys,
> I saw a college kid doing a couple simple contact juggling tricks

> I started juggling. Contact juggling and three ball juggling. For me
> it was very slow going. I had never played sports and I had sat at a
> desk job for 40 years. I was about 100 pounds overweight and convinced
> that my life was just about over. After about a year of playing with
> some rubber balls from a toy shop I decided to get serious and
> purchased a set of 3" solid balls and began doing contact juggling
> every day. I took up Tai Chi and combined it with my Contact juggling
> moves. Today, after four years of daily contact juggling, I still am
> not very good (I'm a very slow learner), but my hands no longer
> shake, I'm 50 pounds lighter, I'm in better physical condition than I
> was for most of my life, and if I drop something or knock something
