    Let's get this forum going again with a topic about juggling.

    At the moment, I am trying to develop my 3-ball Mills Mess into a Burke's Barrage. Any tips?

    Also, what is the cheapest place/site to buy good juggling balls?

    Burkes Barrage is difficult to describe in text, but here's my attempt: when you have your right hand over your left - instead of throwing that ball over to the other side, grab it and carry it around quickly through the middle of the pattern and throw it up under your left arm. The next ball is thrown straight up in the middle of the pattern by the other hand. You then just have to learn to do it on the other side.

    Once you've learnt burkes barrage its fairly easy to learn takeouts (some call them reverse chops) - its the exact same except you carry the ball around over the top of the whole pattern.

    For cheap juggling balls I'd just check out some uk juggling stores online. I've used anti-gravity.co.uk before and they deliver pretty quickly. Their Mr Babache Standard Skwoshball's are pretty good.

    If you're heading to the galway convention in two weeks Boggle should be there selling equipment. But its usually cheaper to order online.

    For juggling balls juast make your own out of one metre of fabric you'll get alot of balls plus you can under fill them so they're easier to catch. check here for patterns http://www.jugglingdb.com/articles/index.php?id=49

    As far as I know. Otherwise I've been sadly mistaken.

    Thats some good guessing but two is quite a challenge cos i can't touch type with one hand (or two) so got to juggle the balls blind
