What does everyone here think is the most dangerous object that has
ever been juggled? (Three of the objects at once, for a resonable
length of time)

I look forward to reading replies....

No dangerous object has ever been juggled.

What about knives, you say? They're fake. Jugglers dull
the edges before juggling them.

Chainsaws? If you juggle them with the chain in then you are
an idiot.

Torches? They're fake too. Every juggler I know uses Renegade
FakeFlames (tm) which provides a very realistic looking flame
with no heat content.

Penn Jillette juggles three broken wine bottles, but I think he
uses domestic wine, which makes the trick much easier. It's
harder with French wines (and don't even get me started about
Italian table wines).

The most dangerous props of all, however, are contact juggling
balls when Michael Moschen is in the same room. He'll kick your
ass for stealing his act.

The most dangerous thing I've juggled is a set mouse (not bear) trap.
The knives aren't that scary, and the torches don't hurt, but let me tell
you... Damn those things are painful! I swear to everything holy it was
the most painful experience in my life (sorta).

Torches don't hurt unless you're a big idiot like me who tries to "correct
the spin" after catching the damn thing the wrong way whilst passing :-(

I think fertilized chicken (or any other animal) eggs are the most
dangerous; if you drop, you've ended three lives.

as for danger to the juggler... Bear Traps? is that Renegade Show on
tape.... maybe from Alan Plotkin?

I don't know if this has actually been juggled but, how about torches
imbedded with fish hooks? (I saw this posted about a year ago). If
you have a bad catch, you either let it burn or.......


I think I'm gonna sit down now.

You Wuss! Bad Bri indeed! Here's what you do: Put the fire on one end, and
the fish hooks on the other end. THEN you're lookin at some FUN!

I once juggled 3 clubs standing in the fast lane of the M6. Certainly
a very dangerous place to juggle.

OK so the M6 was doing it's usual job of being the worlds longest
car park. :-7

This reminds me of an idea I had a while ago:

Wear one fireproof but not blade-proof glove one one hand, and one blade-
proof but not fireproof glove on the other. Juggle sharp knives with
burning handles.

Anyone who tries it does so at their own risk, I don't recommend it, etc.

Actually, I juggled with a (sealed) bottle of conc Sulphuric Acid, which was
quite dangerous... that's why I stopped after 6 catches.

Heh. More dangerous for the audience than the juggler, unless you're
talking about danger of arrest for attempted mass jugglecide. <groan>

btw - posting pics is a no-no in this group. Next time put it on your
website and just post the link.

And some of us don't even get the messages with attachments. So, I (and
maybe others) didn't even see the original message.
