How to Juggle -  Learn to Juggle
Welcome to the first place on the web (since 2002!) featuring free video juggling instruction! Here are 5 videos pretty much guaranteed to teach you how to juggle three balls. Start with the Intro, follow Steps 1, 2 and 3 and if you are still having difficulty, download the Troubleshooting video.

If you have average physical coordination, you should be able to learn a basic juggle in about 30 minutes. To get your pattern smooth takes about a day. It's not difficult, and it's a lot of fun! Someday there may be more instructional juggling videos here. Let me know what you'd like to see in the future.
I'd like to have a tally of how many people actually learned to juggle from this page! If you went through the steps and can juggle now, send me an email and let me know. Thanks, Jim!
