So i guess we'll talk about... JUGGLING!!!!!
Given the heading to this page, i find it arbitrary to mention that i am a juggler. however juggling is not limited to the traditional toss style but also spinning, isolation, and martial arts. Juggling has been around for hundreds of years and has been closely associated with the circus for more than 140 years. many modern performers often refer to their art as "flow" and the props used in their art form "flowtoys" here are just a few examples of the art of "flow": juggling is one of the most common of the "flow" arts. more specifically the three ball cascade (which is depicted in the image above)

another prominent prop in the juggling arts is clubs. club juggling is almost the same as ball juggling, however the clubs flip and are an akward shape to get used to.

Another aspect of "flow" is called poi. Poi consists of swinging two weighted balls (in this case kevlar wicks) on the ends of chains or leashes. this tecnique has also evolved to include glowsticks another frequently used prop among performers today, are the devil sticks (flora sticks, flower sticks, juggling sticks, ect.). the devil sticks consist of two silicon coated wooden dowels and a weighted baton that is also covered in silicon. when properly done, the sticks appear to be defying gravity and effortlessly stick together. Hacky sack or Footbag is another form of flow and a sect of juggling, involving keeping a bag (usually filled with small plastic pellets or sand) in the air using anything but your hands. Tricks include stalls, isolations, and many more.

Contact juggling is also a form of "flow" as well as a sect of juggling. The object of contact juggling is for the acryllic ball (contact ball, Fushigi) never to leave your body and look as though it efforlessly floats across your fingers,hands, and arms.
