I am looking for a juggling video I watched a while (~1.5 years) ago.
It's of a live performance where the juggler uses balls that do impossible
tricks. They seem to float in orbits that regular gravity doesn't allow.

I think the balls are gimmicked in some way and would love to rewatch that
video and try to figure out how.

Any hints or links that might lead to the video or the juggler are very
much appreciated.

Marlon- might have practiced more magic as juggling tricks the last month.

On a sidenote , any other performance mixing juggling and magic is welcome
as well.

You are probably referring to Etienne Saglio with (a version of) the
number shown in this video:

If you find other versions of this act I'd be very intersted. Etienne is
now having great succes with his show 'Les soir des monstres' which is
truly amazing.

Apart from Etienne Saglio, I know of Yann Frisch, Neta Oren and myself who
have full acts revolving around the integration of ball juggling and
magic. There have been others in the past, but I don't believe any video
material of them exists online. Many jugglers and even more magicians have
performed juggling/magic tricks in their shows/acts. I'm less informed
when it comes to props other then balls but a good place to start would be
cie 14:20, they made some beautiful work.

Hope this was helpful!

Thanks for the reply.
Although I liked the videos the one I'm looking for wasn't a glow juggling
act, or any of the performers you mentioned.

hello,
here is my research about this subject.
I am interested, among others, to mix bullets / balls qq string from time.
it is an object "home made" in evolution (versions 1 or 2 balls twine, mix
air balls / bounce / string).
this is not really magic but I think could become ...

I am trying out similar things so I really liked these videos.
I think the balls in the video I'm looking for were attached in some way
to the jugglers body with invisible string.
I've attempted several times to attach balls in similar ways but haven't
found any I'm really happy with yet.

On a sidenote, what wire are you using?
The only wire I found that thin that is strong enough is fishing wire
which is rather dangerous.

Thanks again for the videos,

Marlon.

I don't suppose you mean this one?

If so, there's nothing weird with the balls, it's just that he's juggling
in an inverted cone.

I love it!! It looks interesting and fun. The two balls connected
compliment the 3ball juggling very well.

I'm guessing you're thinking of Fushigi:

There's nothing special about a fushigi ball. The tricks that are shown
take lots of dedicated practice.

I'm guessing that you mean contact juggling. Fushigi is just a failing
contact ball.

Are you being sarcastic, or do you not know that Marlon is a somewhat
regular poster here on rec?
