I Just Trained Actors On-Set For TV SHOW "Kevin Probably Saves The World"

Just wanted to spread the cool new news of one of my coolest gigs yet...on-set training for a TV show on ABC's - "Kevin Probably Saves The World". It happened just this week on Dec. 13th in the Fish Market portion of the downtown Commons Market (off bustling Auburn Street). 

My role was to teach two of the actors to have some sense of how to juggle, perhaps even to even teach them to juggle clams or fish - literally in a hallway outside of the "green room", (a back room -  put together as the hub) for directing the TV shooting of at least two scenes (probably more) out in the Fish Market. Actors and actresses walked in and out of the room and hallway, along with market workers pushing bags and bags of corn meal, literally on skids,  for the fish coating.

The actors were delightful - one, Dustin Ybarra, had taught himself the rudiments of juggling just days before via YouTube. And, by the end of 3 ten minute sessions (or so) he was juggling three balls quite easily.....now... the practicing with clams were more of a challenge as the hard surfaces easily bounced off each other when catching the final two in a hand. (The other actor I interacted with was Jason Ritter.)  ..... I also got to meet the director and several other key behind the scenes folks. It overall was quite the scene as upwards of 75 extras were also hired for the day.

Ultimately, I don't know if any actual juggling was done by the actors on camera or if it will all end up on a cutting room floor...but it was a fun time....in what seems like a fun and light show. SO>>>> If YOU want to learn how to juggle in one session - give me a call at 678-467-8650 and leave a message.

Learn To Juggle At A Corporate Meeting

It has recently been my pleasure to provide services to two corporate meetings with international participants which were meeting in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Interestingly, each of the event planners were thinking of the word `juggling' in the context of how folks manage their time and life priorities. And, each of the planners instinctively knew of the `FUN' factor potential - the something different -  by involving a `juggler' into their meeting schedule. Smart folks those event planners.

BTW, each event planner, who also were participants in the on-site (hotel conference centers) juggling experience, considered the total juggling experience to be beneficial.

But, for those planning a corporate event in Atlanta, or the Southeast for that matter, - consider what the event planners also learned about adding a juggling experience; - that I provided MORE than just a break from the `business' action of endless meetings. 

Why? 

Because in my roughly one hour on-site `learning to juggle' presentation at your  corporate session, I do have emphasis on the euphemism of juggling as representing a balance of family, work, and personal spirit. Nearly everyone in the corporate world is shaking their heads when these words are spoken. Suddenly, their interest is peaked.  But, I also place a strong emphasis on learning juggling for better concentration and focus - and as a thinking out of the  box mind exercise. (Better thinking can help a company in more ways than one of course.)

Which is the effect that growing new brain matter and brain connections can have on an individual by learning to juggle.

This `better brain' stuff is serious stuff.

Ultimately, will everyone learn to juggle? --------- No. 

But, nearly EVERYONE can participate in some level of learning to juggle SUCCESSFULLY. There are a LOT of smiles and laughs and tension breaking in the early going on's in the sessions. Usually in larger corporate group sessions, I pair people together to build additional group bonding, team work and new connections.

Event planners will also find that I can often provide my professional services on  very short notice of even a few days..... and that when I am on-site, I can provide a flexible program in time-length if needed. (Meetings can run over of course.) And, should you, the event planner, would like to schedule more than one event in a day or more than one session over two days - my `multiple session' pricing is reasonable and flexible.

Now, I know you might have questions such as -----   how many people can be taught in a one group - what size room is needed - what time of day or placement early or late in a corporate meeting schedule is best for learning to juggle - do YOU need to provide juggling balls - is juggling balls a good gift to participants -- or other questions................ and I will be happy to provide my guidance on what seems to work best/great.

NEW Juggling Classes For 2013 - Learn 3 Ball Juggling For As Little As 10 Dollars!

My thanks to all of those who are sharing the word about the benefits of learning to juggle; - could juggling be one `solution' in a seemingly `solution-less' society? An activity that promotes BOTH physical toning and also definitely a mental toning? An activity that can be done inside or outside - an exercise in the fresh air (where others watching you will be sure to ask - how did you learn to do that?).

And, in 2013 - the `price' of learning to juggle has now been nearly eliminated. Here's how. I am now offering on a SIGN UP FIRST basis - the chance to be part of a group lesson for only 10 DOLLARS. 

Personalized instruction (the best method for how to learn how to juggle) at an affordable price. ANYONE can use this method, including families - yes, a family of five could learn for as little as 50 dollars. Or FIVE friends could learn for as little as 50 dollars. You get the picture - you can be a part of a group of five to eight people and learn to juggle for 10 dollars total cost to YOU. (Details of offer in sidebar.)

Of course, I will continue to offer pre-planned, on demand - you set the time (we actually work it out) lessons to individuals and to smaller groups of people - both in Woodstock OR at a location of YOUR CHOICE (details on pricing in sidebar to the left). Personal lessons for folks who simply can't wait to learn to juggle, or, who would rather not learn in front of a group of strangers.

Finally, I've decided to market the `learning of Juggling' - to `singles' - who think that `learning to juggle' would be a FUN (blind first `date') way to meet someone of the opposite sex. I describe the details of this too in the sidebar - and perhaps you will find this appealing.
====================================
====================================
And, yes, I now have a Juggling Book on Kindle - using a lot of the same techniques that I use in person - and you too can learn at home in as little as an hour; just as I teach the basics within an hour. You can find my Kindle book on the sidebar too.
====================================
ONCE YOU LEARN THE BASICS - I'M OFTEN ASKED WHAT KIND OF BALLS DO I SUGGEST - LACROSSE BALLS!

1,000,000 Hit Juggling Video

Here's a real cute story of a UK guy learning to juggle. It is indeed possible to learn just by watching videos or even reading about juggling and then practicing. That said, personal instruction can bring about a `3 ball cascade' in very little time for some people.  If you live in the Atlanta area - I can teach you to juggle.

Anyway, enjoy the video.

Welcome To Juggle Atlanta

Hello, thanks for visiting my Juggling Blog.

As you can see - on this page above - I have complete written instructions on how to learn to juggle. In the sidebar you can find juggling resources you will want to check out if you are thinking of becoming a juggler.

Juggling has been around for at least 3,800 years and was depicted as early that date onto stones with pictures of women jugglers. Supposedly, juggling became suppressed after the fall of the Roman Empire; when jugglers became known as Gleemen and were thought to dabble in perhaps magic. However, the first circuses brought the unique skill again in front of the public for entertainment and wonder; where it has remained.

But, the skill still confounds many who try what appears to be a simple task - a simple pattern of movement of the arms and hands. And, the skill is simple. But, for many, if not most, it is a skill best learned in a one-to-one teaching method of teacher-student. Or students. Live teaching.

I've been juggling since 1977, have taught many, and can teach you. Please visit my `other juggling site' http://www.juggleatlanta.com/ for details of packages offered, including prices and price ranges.

Thanks for visting Juggling Atlanta.
