Penn Jillette has a lot to say about this as both juggler and magician. He says both skills are impressive because they require way more practice than the audience can imagine anyone ever doing. The difference is that the juggler shows you the skill while the magician hides it.
Penn Jillette also has never smoked weed.
@@buzz25 That would be because he believes he does not trust himself to do it in moderation. And that's fair reasoning. I've known both people that know how to smoke weed in moderation, and people that the act of smoking weed is a defining characteristic of the person to their detriment. Imagine if Penn was correct about himself and he smoked weed to excess. He likely wouldn't be as successful as he is now.
@@djsyntic I just like the Penn and Teller are the kind of unicorn who can be Straight Edge and also not tell everyone about it all the time. It is almost as impossible as a quiet vegan.
@@mcalsip it's his most impressive magic trick, lol.
"He says both skills are impressive because they require way more practice than the audience can imagine anyone ever doing."
this is something i've always liked about penn's attitude to the arts. i had the same realization as i kid. got interested in magic, learned some crappy card tricks and coin vanishes, but then saw sideshow acts and realized "why trick people into thinking i can make fire from nothing when i can ACTUALLY eat and manipulate fire? why use a gimmicked knife to fake piercing myself for a trick when i can ACTUALLY hammer nails into my face? that's WAY COOLER for everyone involved"
5:28 "Gravity's a drag."
No, Jason. That's air resistance. Right class, wrong chapter.
Science Ad-Jason-t
Well.. Going upwards away from the center of gravitational object (ie. Earth) would also reduce upwards velocity over time until zero.
Different people are good at different things. Brian is good at juggling. Jason is good at catching knives
DO NOT CATCH THE KNIFE
Sometimes with his whole hand, sometimes with just his thumb
Catching needs to be in quotes as there is catching with intent and catching when a bladed article comes at you declaring its love for your hands & beard! 🖐🧔
And Cory has a proclivity for Montonte
True, maybe he should have brought knives to juggle for Jason.😂
The absolute joy on Brian's face at 10:15 when he realizes that he's juggling is just amazing.
It's great seeing him get it to finally click in his head. This thing that has become a meme because he couldn't do it had finally been unlocked and now he CAN do it. So cool.
The pure ecstasy and pride of it seeping out with his stream of consciousness “Fuck you, fuck your face” is just the cherry on top.
I do love that Jason is willing to publicly fail (something we teach boys and young men they mustn't do), and just keeps going, whilst at the same time being so excited for his friend's success. He's a great inspiration for young men, and it's awesome.
Brian and Jason have serious wholesome dad energy, we need more role models like that.
wait, isn't the lesson most men are taught specifically that it's ok to fail so long as they persevere? you know, the whole tortoise and the hare thing from ancient greece? i'm pretty sure what you're talking about is the idea that men shouldn't tell people to rely on them if they are still prone to failing. or that you shouldn't brag about a skill you haven't mastered. or maybe that failure is not a thing to be respected on it's own, only people's responses to it? i really have no idea because i've never met a man in my life that was taught that failing publicly was bad in and of itself.
@@ClashBluelight I'm very glad you've had a positive experience as far as that goes; a lot of us were taught, directly or indirectly, that admitting any weakness or failure was a bad thing, and MEN CERTAINLY NEVER CRY. It's an unhealthy attitude, and I'm glad that society is LARGELY changing.
@@devikwolf i guess "a lot" of men is possible, but definitely not the majority. after all, the core tenant of christianity is repentance. aka opening up about personal failings both internally and externally. it's also the single most widespread religion in history, so i'd say that constitutes the majority of men. like i said before. it's not just me. i've literally never met a single man in my life who was taught something even remotely like this. i mean, if society largely subscribed to this idea, humanity would be extinct. there would only be sore losers in the world, and literally everybody would kill themselves because it's impossible to be the best at every single thing. that may seem extreme, but really. if you truly believed that you're either the best at everything you try, or you're a failure, where else could that possibly end up? we live in a hyper specialized society, so men are taught from a young age that they'll only be acceptably good at a few things. it simply isn't how people raise their kids. not now, not ever.
tl;dr i wasn't just sharing a personal experience. i was pointing out the fact that this idea has been widely viewed as absurd for over 2000 years.
@@ClashBluelight Well, in truth, if more people who read the Bible *actually* walked in Jesus' example, the world would be a far, far better place. Unfortunately, that's not always the case.
jason gets so close to cracking it at 12:55 if he'd only thrown the orange ball! you've just gotta get over that thing in your brain telling you not to throw the ball, that was the biggest challenge for me too
Seems like "Imaginary Points" that they Aim for could be replaced with an actual Target... like Ping Pong balls (something really light) hung off Strings.
Jason seems to be ignoring the entire "Aim" portion of the game.
I think Jason was overthinking it for sure. He was so close!
In the words of Neebs Gaming, "Fail it until you nail it."
The fact that he checked whether or not he smells like weed @ 8:37 cracks me up 😁
This guy is a dang good teacher. I've always wanted to know how to do this. I followed his instructions, and in the time of this video, I was able to get to 5 rotations. Awesome awesome awesome. Something I've wanted to do for 20 years, I learned in 15 mins. Thank you so much!!! I can can't state how thankful I am for this. Or how stupidly easy to learn it was. Thankyou again.
The absolute pride in Brian’s face after conquering his block that he’s had for years. It’s inspiring
Such a common mistake among new jugglers. "I mess up when that third ball comes into play". You need to realize that, while you are juggling 3 balls, there is no 3rd ball, it's just a 2nd 1st ball. Then you can get into that one two one two rhythm. You only have 2 hands after all...
So funny how he smelled his shirt after the weed question we've all been there
@jeff L. That's the day you should have learned that most 'drug dogs' do what they're told to do. 🤷♂️
@jeff L. it's basically just to get the right to search
After almost 40 years on this planet, I learned to juggle because of this video. Those were some golden nuggets of wisdom. Thank you.
At 8:20, you can really see that it's really starting to click with Brian. Another circus skill to introduce fire into!
Yeah, it's fun I learned the minimum of juggling years ago, even juggled some lit, rubbing alcohol-soaked cotton balls. Gotta learn not to squeeze too hard or let the ball impact too hard when you catch otherwise you get burning alcohol squirting out everywhere. Not too dangerous if you know what you're doing, given that it's a relatively cool flame, don't panic and smother the flames when they get places you don't want them, things do heat up.
As a juggler i am impressed by how fast they learned. 👍👍
That moment he juggled 3 and got excited took me back to the moment I finally got it.
@@AnimeWolf5193 Same.
As a juggler, do you like weed
Nice aerial pole
I learnt to juggle when someone explained to think of it as a tall picture frame, or stand in front of a large rectangular mirror (this worked the best), and try keep the balls within the frame and throwing to the opposite upper corners. The more balls there is, step back and keep them within the mirror frame...... I'm still rubbish tho 😐..... 🤣.
I'd love to see some pen spinning on the channel. Brian already has experience from twirling fire sticks, it's a really skill you can keep learning from
Totally agree, been doing pen spins with random shit forever😂
Only a novice juggler here, I actually found 3 balls to be easier than the "throw-throw-catch-catch," because the fluid motion means you don't have much time to over think it.
I'm not necessarily good at it, and that's completely due to lack of practice, but just sharing my personal experience.
I'm amused that I taught myself to juggle similarly to what was shown here. 2 balls in one hand, and then moving up to 3 balls - but I learned by using a bounce against a wall so that the motion from each hand to the other went against the wall and then down to the second hand. I found it gave me just a little more time and a little more control to master the cadence/timing - before I tried actually keeping them all on the same plane.
Not a juggler, might try it out, but the throw throw catch catch seems like it would be the hardest as it's kinda where you develop the core technique. Once you have the core technique down, progressing is relatively easy and intuitive with most things.
Brian's redemption. Being that Jason is always a savant for the weirdest things
Having followed Brian on UA-cam for nearly 7 years it brings me so much joy to see him juggle!
And also Jason is a shining example of how we should approach learning new things. His attitude towards his own challenge is still positive but he can also support his friend without feeling bitter.
MR is definitely my favourite UA-cam channel
My parents bought me a kit from a UK company called More Balls Than Most. One of the best gifts I've ever gotten. Cheers for teaching others how to juggle. It really is beneficial for so many aspects of life.
I have taught many jugglers. One important thing I always suggest for beginners is to stand in front of a bed. So when you drop a ball you don't have to bend down to pick it up AND it forces you to keep from chasing balls you are throwing.
Common sense... i wish id thought of this when learning! lol
Haha, as a magician, this is how I learn aerial Card Shots too, so I don't have to keep picking cards off the floor.
I thought, growing up, that I was clumsy. Couldn't dance, too tall for my age, etc. Then my uncle showed me how to juggle. I learned my feet may be dumb, but my hands were apparently great. If you don't think you can do this, try. It's a great confidence booster, and changes your head space. I now have a technical degree relating to machining and hand craftsmanship due, primarily, to learning to juggle. We'll done, guys.
One step closer to combat juggling!
i learned to juggle by standing very close to a wall (facing the wall) and throwing the bags WAY high up, almost to the ceiling. also using bags helped me A LOT because they don't roll away when you drop them. the wall prevents you from creeping forward, which apparently everyone does as they learn. it also helps a ton by completely removing a dimension you are throwing in.
That clip of Brian dropping the balls is still closer to actual juggling than I've ever accomplished.
"You need to get the throws consistent with each step before moving on to the next step" is the advice that kept me from juggling for 12 years. There's an accuracy cap, and once you reach it you just gotta push on. You can, in fact, get better at catching even if you don't get much better at throwing.
6:26 Jason has never been more relatable to me than at this moment.
Two tips for learning to juggle;
1. practice facing a wall; this way you cannot throw the balls too far out in front of you, this helps to make the catch easier.
2. practice over a table this way when you drop one you don't have to bend over or stop for as long to pick up the ball.
3.(one for free) practice with something that will not bounce or roll very well like bean bags or rolled up socks; less bounce means easier to pick up right away so you don't break your rhythm.
Oooooh... practicing in front of a wall! I never thought of that! Usually good for a few passes and then I'm off chasing the balls. Good tip!😎👍👍
I know how to juggle a little but I'm always game for tips lol
I'm so proud of Brian!!!! (Sorry, Jason.) It took me FOREVER to learn how to juggle.
Brian is so naturally talented. Even if you only take into account his Fire Eating Contributions and his Flawless Psychic Surgery performances. Loved this guys channels since the beginning, at this point it’s like I grew up with him weirdly.
That's super kind of you. Thank you! -BB
Can’t believe how easy this is with the advice of starting with 2 and alternating which hand starts. Took me an hour and a half to get a 40 ball streak with 3 once I got used to it.
you don't know how many times I tried this crap.😅 looked for help... did everything short of hiring help. Jose made it look clear for the first time. thanks for this video
After I spent months practicing in high school and college, I learned to juggle 3 balls/clubs/random objects with no problem. I can maintain a cascade pattern indefinitely. I even learned how to do passing between two or more people (though I'm so out of practice I'd have to re-learn that skill) . But I've never been able to do a 4-ball pattern. That requires a different shift in neural programming that I was never able to accomplish.
I learned to juggle against a wall first, basicly each peak bounces off the wall, i found this so much easier, then once i had that down doing it normally was much easier.
This guy hit a lot of the methods I personally use to teach juggling, although I will add starting in front of a door or a wall (big window if possible) helps with the beginner's tendency to drift forward.
What a wonderful episode this was. Makes me want to give it a go
The trick is definitely all in the throw. If you throw right, catching is easy. It just lands in your hand. With one or even two balls you can have wonky throws and catch it by shifting focus to each catch, but the secret to mastery is to throw so well that you never really have to think about catching it. I'm trying to learn five balls, and it's super hard because I have a locked in throw at eye level but for five balls I have to throw higher and I have to fully retrain the accuracy.
When teaching someone how to juggle I like adding a snap at the third beat so you get the three ball rhythm before adding the 3rd ball
When I was younger I learned using some silk like cloths. It made it much easier to learn the pattern of throwing
This reminds me of how excited I was when I was able to juggle 3 for the first time. That excitement is very relatable.
I found I always lead myself, standing in front of a wall helped me stop throwing forward.
when Brain asked "why does every juggler i know like weed" (paraphrased), Jose honestly missed the chance to say "well if it makes me see doubles I'm bound to catch at least one of them"
Why would he say that?
I learned to juggle when I saw the World Series of Juggling on ESPN as a kid. I sat down in front of the TV with Koosh balls and just worked it out, they kinda float and have a nice soft landing. Always gets a laugh when I break it out around someone who doesn't know I can do it.
Dont give up Jason! There are other really helpful videos and people online that will help!

Back when Paperback Booksmith was a thing, I spent about 10 minutes reading and memorizing how to do a 3 ball cascade from Juggling for the Complete Klutz. That was in the early 80s, and after a bit of practice, I can still do it. That, though, is my limit.
14:20 had the same vibes as the road to el dorado movie where the two main characters improvised that swordfight to escape the guy in the beginning of the movie
Oh man. I had those juggling books Brian mentioned since I was a kid!
I love how the teachers immediate reaction when asked why jugglers love weed was to ask if he smelled like weed then started to sniff his shirt in true stoner fashion
It took me about six months to teach myself to juggle in my bored moments, watching this video made me very proud of myself because I found all of the steps to learn along the way just by trying shit.
Brian you’re so natural at juggling. Can’t believe you’ve never learnt that before!
I have never been more proud of Brian in a single episode than I am right now.
Laughed so hard at 2:31 for the you died. Was not expecting that
I found it helpful to think of it like tying a braid
80s music and facing a wall was how a Magician taught me. 3 different weighted balls helps as well.
Watching each step click in Brian's head was thoroughly entertaining.
I taught myself basic juggling with some old book and a lot of practice and I recommend standing in front of a wall. The balls don’t roll as far when you drop them and it trains you not to throw them away from yourself, which seems to be a common issue.
little tip for people learning how to juggle. Juggle over a bed and consider using something that won't roll away as easily like an actual juggling ball or a bean bag. It makes it so much nicer to recover when you drop something. Instead of getting all the way to ground or chasing your ball across the room, you can just reach over an pick it up.
I can’t believe that this came out just days after I learned how to juggle.
This is the third title and thumbnail this video has had in under 24 hours.
A trick ive learned with learning juggling is facing a wall so the balls dont fly off where you have to go catch it if you threw it wrong.
When I teach people to juggle I start them with catching the first ball before throwing the second. That way you learn the pattern before things get stressful.
As a juggler who teaches juggling for a living, I really don’t like how this guy teaches. His 1 ball teaching style encourages bad habits. He also talks about common mistakes but doesn’t address how to fix them. Finally my biggest pet peeve is that he stresses not dropping. While understandable, it is counterproductive to learning. It makes juggling very anxiety inducing when juggling is a very fun activity and dropping is a part of the process and in reality, no big deal.
When I learned (I can barely juggle) I learned to juggle with one hand first.
@@MrEazyE357 I know a guy who juggles far better than I do, or just about anyone I know. He lost an arm in an accident when he was a child. He took up juggling later as a personal challenge.
I love the dragon type tee shirt looking thing the Pokémon cards dragon symbols looks like Bryan’s shirt
I've been trying to juggle recently so this makes me happy to see. I feel like I'm on my way to be a rouge.
Ive been subd for like 5 years and havent gotten your videos reccomended since like 2 years ago
"Can't hear you I'm seeing God" every juggler when they nail a new trick
Next up, Brian tries Combat Juggling! Go on! You know you want to!
If I could add a couple of tips for anyone trying this at home: Always throw to the same height. Don't chase the balls. Keep your upper arms still and bend from the elbow (helps to stop you from throwing the balls forwards).
I was told by a great juggler (7 balls) that the trick to mastery is to learn to love picking balls up off the floor... because that is what you have to do, hundreds of times, every time you want to level up.
I took weeks to get the 3 ball cascade but I managed to teach 2 people in one 45 minute lunch break.
I learned to juggle by doing it in front of a wall so I couldn't throw them too far out. Helped a lot.
2:30 dark souls reference was ON POINT. lol.
Unfortunately, I learned three-ball cascade juggling (the basic one taught in this video) when I was much younger, but never learned how to do other patterns. I was really hoping there might be a tutorial on something a bit more advanced, although now I can look up some of the names of those patterns mentioned in the video.
If you're interested, maybe check out Taylor Tries here on UA-cam, I have found that she has some of the best tutorials. She's got a couple called "5 beginner tricks" or something similar. Got me through quarantine :)
Juggling actually grows new connections in the brain. Brian probably learned faster than Jason due to him having developed the connections for slight-of-hand. I remember it took a few hours for a couple days to learn from scratch. Brian just needs to keep practicing.
This inspired me to try juggling again. It's a nice flex besides being hella fun.
One thing they didn't really mention here is that when you are practicing 2 balls, make sure that the second throw goes underneath the first throw. By the end they were both doing it right, but Jason was doing a few over throws that would have made things tough if he didn't correct. Overall a pretty solid video though. Covers most of the tips I mention when teaching new people.
Yes! That also helps you with your aim for the "corners" at the top as well as keeping them from hitting one another! I've never put in the practice to get really good, but I can do a couple runs of the regular cascade before I eventually end up going forward chasing the balls. It all comes down to putting the time in to practice.
I have seen this Title change at least 3 times in the past 4 hours lol
Brian: How come every (blank) I've ever known loves weed?
Because you live in Austin.
I really enjoy when you get excellent teachers on he really knew how to break it down enough that I could see where each one of the fails happened either from throwing too high, not controlling the direction or not simply building a rhythm to help time your throw. In fairness ball handling is probably a factor... _(resisting urge to make joke, must hit "comment" button)_
I tride a number of time using balls and just couldn't get it. Then a pro juggler taught me how to juggle with extremely light silk like cloths. The difference was, rather than throw them to a consitant spot, I was to lift it to a what ever height I felt comfortable with and release it, and useing the upmost less effort catch it in the other hand. The do the same in reverse, catching it in the other hand. Once I got use to it with one. Adding in another cloth aka one in both hands repeated the same process of lifting, dropping and catching. Stop and repeat until I could increase my speed. Then adding a third was like falling off a log.
Once I got lifting my cloths to an hight I was comfortable with. Learning how to toss not throw a ball to the same hight was easy. Doing it with one ball, eventually getting to two. Took a bit longer because balls were heavier than the cloth. But once I got the hang of it, adding the third was a piece of cake.
I can confirm not all jugglers smoke weed. But I'm amazed how Brian went from not being able to throw and catch one ball to running a qualifying run of 3 balls lol. When I first learned 3 I literally practiced a flash of 3 balls for a couple days before I moved onto running it. I believe that's why my form is so solid now compared to many others I see who to this day still juggle all over the place. I also learned with tennis balls which is the worst, as they are slippery and bounce and roll everywhere. 5 balls took me a good year to master. Mainly cause I kept mentally preventing myself from throwing all 5.
Don't think I've ever seen brian concentrate so hard
Anyone else seen some of those competition videos from the World Juggling Federation?
I learned to juggle by taking three tennis balls outside and throwing them as high in the air as possible to get the pattern down. Then as I got better I made the pattern shorter and shorter.
Stand facing a couch, with your shins pushing against the edge of the seat. When you start, look straight ahead, hold your arms bent, palms up at about your waist, and toss one ball from one hand to the other going no higher than your head. Keep practicing until you can toss one ball back and forth repeatedly without dropping it. Add a second ball in the opposite hand. When the first tossed ball reaches its peak, right in front of your eyes, toss the second one, inside the first to the first hand. Keep practicing until you can toss and catch both without dropping them. The third ball gets added to you starting hand and you toss it inside the second ball when the second ball reaches the peak. Just keep the process going. The couch keeps you from walking around chasing the balls and forces you to make consistent tosses. Takes awhile to get the consistency down, but once you figure out your rhythm, you can juggle all sorts of stuff. If you can't handle your balls, use tissues to start. Good luck!
8:30 I love the low-key insinuation that Brian and Jose either smoked some bud before this video, or maybe met doing so. Hahahaha
Goddammit. Every time I think I'm free of my inner desire to juggle, someone I follow makes a damn video about it.
I started cracking up when he started doing the Charleston.
Dude! I have been trying to juggle my whole life and I got it from this! Holy shit thank you!
watching this while seeing stilts in the background I am having visions of the injury counter being destroyed. Being Hollywood educated is definitely a disadvantage.
I’m in the Jason skill level. Basically anything beyond throwing, tracking, and catching one target is near impossible.
I remember learning how to juggle a cascade in HS, and it took us months to actually work up to 3 balls. Understanding the mechanics is, like, 80% of the battle. The rest is just practice!
i was the same untill i was told, use tennis balls and juggle against a wall and use the sound of the ball hitting the wall as your rhythm for the release of the next, i went from 2 balls to 3 in about 10 mins then did my first 3 ball cascade without the wall about 30 mins later.
Try to use ONLY use peripheral vision to get the third ball going.
It’s the only thing that works me
I a physically incapable of this. Grade 5 we had a juggling unit and I literally got pushed through that unit because I wasn't able to juggle scarves
as a magician and a juggler, i love this
I know when I was trying to self teaching myself how to juggle I had a lot of bad habits. Didn't help I was teaching myself with tennis balls. I am super out of practice and never master the basics.
my biggest problem with juggling 3 balls is i'll do fine for athe first few tosses then the balls start to inch their way forwards and i have to keep reaching out or move for them
I would love so hard for Jason Murphy to narrate my audiobooks. Jason Murphy is the next Morgan Freeman voice.
9:07 Jason... you need to throw the second ball UNDER the first one, not over. Or do you like to cascade higher and higher and ... well at least Brian got it. This time :D
3:06 was pure glory.
