I can get abbot 15 passes before I lose a ball. I have been practicing on and off for a year and I enjoy it.
Any one else juggle?
I only juggle excuses. I can keep three or four in the air at once.

My favourite juggler scene is from Steve Martin’s L.A. Story, where we see the juggler tossing several items, including a chainsaw. Every time he catches the chainsaw he gives the saw a rev. Seconds after the camera has panned past the juggler, we hear a scream in the background.

Not a juggler, but I used to be pretty good at devil-sticks.
-On getaway to the Olympic peninsula decades back we stayed across the road from the Flying Karamazov Brothers’ compound. It looked like a great place to practice away from public attention. Their front entry featured an etched glass lintel bearing their slogan “Juglito Ergo Sum”. Very nice.
Sums it up. 
I can juggle three, including behind the back, under the leg, bouncing off walls and passing back and forth with another juggler. But I’ve never been able to juggle more than three, nor can I juggle pins.
My daughter and her boyfriend in Tilden Park in the Berkeley hills. I could only do three or four before I’d drop a pin. She has the genes to juggle.
I can do a few 3-ball routines, have managed to juggle clubs for a few passes, and have managed to juggle 4 clumsily.
When I lived in Alexandria, there was a local runner who did ALL the local races, including marathons, juggling 5 beanbags the whole way. He came to the track workouts I did, and juggled while doing repeats. He was pretty quick, too!
I can do three evenly weighted balls. Croquet balls work best.
Nothing fancy though.
I used to be a pretty good juggler. A girlfriend I had in college taught me; we had a whole repertoire of partner tricks. Totally dysfunctional relationship, but man, we were the life of every party.
I juggle pretty much anything, did fire eating too, doc made me stop that. 
Our youngest crocheted me up a bunch of Golden Snitches out of gold and silver embroidery thread, those are fun when I get the whole group up in the air, kids love it. Got a key fob too! 
I got up to 4 balls and 3 clubs. I tried for a long time to get a 5-ball cascade
down, but never got very far. I just couldn’t get the high throws accurate
enough. It’s like riding a bike, though, I can pick up 3 balls and go right into
a cascade even after 2 years out of practice (though I probably couldn’t
handle Mill’s Mess until I practiced for a few weeks). I never got the hang of
passing.
He was in the race Sunday. I saw this guy juggling, maybe around mile 3, and thought that’s interesting. Then I blurted out, “Holy sh!t, he’s juggling five!” The other amazing thing is, with 20k+ people running, you really have to watch where you’re going and you’re getting bumped all the time. To run, juggle, and navigate your way through all those people for 4-6 hours is just amazing.
i learned form the Juggling for the Complete Klutz book. I can do three then two then three again. At least I could when I was in practice. I could also do a basketball, a softball and a tennis ball at the same time, which impressed my kids for about a year.
Coincidentally I tried the other day and I was awful. Gotta keep up the chops it seems.
I’m a pretty OK basic juggler - have been for about 25 years.
That’s about the same as me.
I ‘learned’ to juggle walnuts in college while sitting under a footbridge. It kept my tosses from going too high. Then I managed about 15 tosses with balls before my concentration wavered.
But my favorite are scarves. Three silk hankies. Instead of tossing them you pull them up in the air and let them go.
I thought there were supposed to be seven, not three.

Chiffon Scarves is the easy way to learn.
I was a member of a Computer project where everyone learned to juggle. It was a good way of taking the tension out of your shoulders when the code got frustrating.
I still have clubs, rings and beanbags about the place. Once upon a time I could juggle a ball, a ring and a club at the same time.
I have a copy of the Complete Juggler. The certification requirements (their rules) for three ball (or scarf) juggling is 20 throws without droppping. And that is just the first certificate. The book has instructions for learning devil-sticks, diabolo, plate-spinning and cigar-boxes.
Daniel could (just) learn to juggle cigar-boxes, instead of making a lyre! If he wanted…
I’m pretty fair at 3 ball-- I used to entertain the old folks at some of the nursing homes where I used to render podiatry care. A bit of cigar boxes, devil stick, basic club cascade etc.
I find it tricky enough to be jugglin’ a whistle, a guitar and a fiddle.
Indeed..
