Contact Juggling, also known as crystal ball manipulation or sphere plays is a relatively new form of juggling where balls are rolled over the hands and body instead of being tossed in the air. A combination of skill, precision, timing and movement combine to create the illusion that the ball is gliding and floating effortlessly around the juggler’s body. Or is it the juggler’s body that moves around a seemingly stationary ball that appears to defy gravity? To master the art requires countless hours of practice and patience.There are no magic tricks though it just might be “the closest thing to real magic” that you’ll ever see.
