Instructional

  • How to Juggle Seems like one of the best online tutorials for how to juggle. Give it a shot!! (and then come out to the club, but not necessarily in that order!)
  • TWJC Tutorials This site has written instructions for lots and lots of 3-ball tricks (unfortunately without pictures or video).
  • The Instant Juggling Manual The title explains it all - words and pictures.
  • Wildcat Jugglers Tutorial Lots of good 3-ball tricks and a few for 4 and 5, all with excellent videos (including slo-mo!) to help demonstrate.

Resources

  • JugglingDB Excellent resource for juggling articles and indices online.
  • Juggling Insanity has some great variations on traditional tricks. Check out the "videos" section for the most interesting material.
  • PassingDB Huge amounts of material on passing patterns for 2 or more jugglers.
  • Contactjuggling.com a great resource for contact jugglers. Look for local juggler Ryan Mellors' name on some of the tricks.
  • Footbag.Org Great resource for footbagging (or "hacky-sack" to those of us who grew up in the 80s).
  • unicycle.com. Unicycles. Need we say more?
  • The Ministry of Manipulation A hub of information, blogs, and videos from and about contact juggling. Look for material by and about former club member Ryan Mellors.
  • Some great videos of great past and present jugglers.

Performers

  • Local Circus School: Vancouver Circus School is a recently-established school in nearby Vancouver! Very exciting.
  • The Gandini Juggling Project Strange and experimental juggling like you've never seen before.
  • Full Moon Performers An innovative troupe of innovative musicians and performers.
  • Sean Anderson Home page of the man who has been called "the best diabolist in North America".
  • Jay Gilligan Jay is my personal hero; he has spent his juggling career rebelling against the stereotypes and cliches of juggling, with panache, totally hip style, and dazzling technical skill.

Miscellany

  • The Problem with Juggling Highly amusing essay by one Chuck Moulton.
  • http://www.obi.com.au/ Site for weird balance boards, kind of like souped-up Rola Bola boards.
  • Juggler.net offers free, jugging-related email addresses.
  • JugglingLab is a great juggling animator that can show you zillions of awesome patterns, and it's all online through the magic of Java.
  • Jongl and JoePass are the two best pieces of software to display, create, and fiddle with juggling patterns from the comfort of your own computer.
  • Juggler: the Game Another arcade-like juggling game, in this one you move a paddle to "catch" (actually bounce) balls in the air.
