'''Balancing''' involves keeping a [[Prop|prop]] (in a vertical position) on your face or other part of your body by constantly adjusting it to keep the prop from falling. [[Ball juggling|Balls]] and [[Ring juggling|rings]] are usually balanced on the forehead. [[Club juggling|Clubs]] can be balanced on the chin, nose, or forehead. When you have enough control over the balance, it's possible to juggle at the same time.

Balancing involves keeping a prop (in a vertical position) on your face or other part of your body by constantly adjusting it to keep the prop from falling. Balls and rings are usually balanced on the forehead. Clubs can be balanced on the chin, nose, or forehead. When you have enough control over the balance, it's possible to juggle at the same time.

Tips[]

  • Don't try to juggle with a balance until you have complete control over the juggling and the balancing separately. Then re-learn the juggling with the balance.
  • Focus on the top of the balanced object and use tiny movements to keep it as still as possible. Try not to move your feet or lean or twist your body.
  • When you juggle while balancing, focus mostly on the balance.

World records[]
