Okay…this is to all of you club jugglers. I want to learn to flourish clubs but have no clue on the hand gestures…Does any one know how to do this? Any online UNDERSTANDABLE instructions? Any videos showing close ups of the hands? Thanks KH.
www.jugglingdb.com you can search that site, or ask on rec.juggling
Jugglingdb hasn’t helped me much…on one of the links i don’t know what the pencil grip is and on the other i don’t get the instructions. Maybe im just dumb but i don’t know. Could some one make a slow mo video of the hand gestures close up…or a picture play by play? Thanks KH
Hmmm…I posted before I fully understood what you were asking. I don’t have a video cam or I’d help you out.
Anyway, I know this isn’t all that helpful, but it’s a simple-to-do and hard-to-explain motion. If you know someone nearby who can do it, by far the easiest way to learn is to have them show you.
For flourishes you can do many different things including very low and very fast spins in the same hand. Spin the club in your hand, spin it like a batton, act like your wiping sweat, whatever really.
I learnt to flourish with help from a book called the compendium of club juggling:

it’s a great book to have. It ha really clear instructions and drawings.
