    • @ipudisciple
      @ipudisciple 4 роки тому +20

      No, they're not intentional, but he has a pre-prepared routine for all the things that might go wrong. This competition is at the IJA (International Jugglers' Association) where the audience is primarily jugglers, so he's doing his technical but 90% tricks, because that's what they want to see. For a different audience, he'd stick to his 100% tricks.

I believe we may be related in someway, I want to tell you a few things that may help me ,us if you are interested. Most of my dad's family is from the little rock ,Ak, about around 1940s, my dad was born in the 50s there. Then his family moved to Kansas, my great uncle started a oil drilling company around Eldorado,ks area. Pretty cool to see that trick bouncing the ball off the crook in you arm, my dad thought me that when I was a kid.

    • @jugglecarter254
      @jugglecarter254 4 роки тому

      It’s all really different than what the general public would see a juggler normally do as since this is a competition the difficulty is seriously amped up in comparison to a show that you’d see on a cruise ship or elsewhere. As there is incredible difficulty drops can be somewhat common but they do deduct from the score a competitor receives.
