Here's where you learn to do what, at first, feels utterly impossible. Beginners start by juggling scarves, then move on to balls, rings, clubs, cigar boxes, torches, even knives! A good trick to learn is called "Dimwits", where two jugglers juggle three balls, together.

"Jugglers" also perform amazing feats of balance with spinning plates, barrels and carpets. The "Chinese Yo-Yo", or "Diabolo" is a spinning hourglass shape that the expert juggler whips with a string between two sticks, flings up in the air and catches.

W.C.Fields was famous for his juggling long before he became a film star.

And nobody can beat the Flying Karamazov Brothers at juggling and talkingat the same time. They've even mounted a production of Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" -- all done while juggling.
