Variety Rehearsals

Because I knew what my act was going to be pretty soon in. It meant i could get to work on practising the skills I needed pretty quickly. The mains skills that I needed to work on was my juggling.

I could juggle balls to a pretty decent standard but I wanted to do something a little bit more exciting than just juggling three balls, so I decided that I would learn how to do a couple of tricks with three balls. Once I got these down I started to see if I could learn how to juggle rings.

This is a video of me practicing some of my juggling with rings and balls.

After I worked on these I thought that I could try to learn how to juggle clubs as these look really good on stage when done correctly. I had really struggled with these because there is a whole different technique. This is a video of me juggling some clubs.

I decided that I was not comfortable enough with rings and clubs to juggle them on stage, so I decided that it would be better to do do just balls really well rather than clubs badly. From this point on, all of my rehearsals consisted on working on my ball juggling and the fancy bits of my card trick, such as the card flick.

Nothing really changed in my rehearsals from this point on.
