This is called "contact juggling".

Or "Anti Gravity"

This is extremely relaxing to watch. I love it.

very cool - nice sift!

yeah, very relaxing. Together with the background noise, I think it gave me a buzz ...

It's like a yoyo of the future!

And the spelling of Japanese is incorrect in the tags.

So from what I read on contact juggling, it's rather extreme muscle control.

Tags changed from "ball,japnese,street preformer" to "ball, japanese, street performer" by gold star member sbchapm.

"contact juggling" thats an oxymoron right guys. i mean generally when someone says juggling i would understand it to mean he is throwing objects in the air. but well they had to name it something

the thing is, he is actually turning the orb , it is just polished (and lubricated) just right so that it looks like it does not move at all. pretty simple to do with a nice big clear marble and some baby oil, making it appear to not shift around at all, is really hard though

i LOVE contact, but he's not doing anything special. i've seen WAY better videos and live performances.

i think thats a digeridoo in the background noise

looris put up some links so that others can also see those videos

yeah looris i'd like to see more of this stuff - its cool!

I know I've seen a few of these before on the sift... *quick search..*

That was very cool! Nice sift! Very relaxing. Can't help thinking he was on e.

I did contact for a while.. it is really difficult. This guy is using a particularly large ball, which makes it a bit easier.

He does a lot of isolation...I prefer more butterflies and windshield wipers myself. More info: www.contactjuggling.org

-Michael Moschen is the man!

WoW!

Can someone add a "contact juggling" tag?
