The Beauty of Three Ball Juggling - A Visual Feast

The following is the contents of the "The Beauty of Three Ball Juggling - A Visual Feast" video. It lists the times in minutes:seconds, and gives a brief description of the different clips on the tape.

Note: If you are interested in getting a copy of this I would suggest taking a look at the IJA Store.


This was a video that was a bit difficult to do a video index since almost the whole video is shot after shot of juggling with a narrative that loosely relates to the juggling. The times below are approximations of what was going on at that point in time. There is a very large list of excellent jugglers who are on this video (a small list of them are included below). I recommend to just get a copy and watch it.
