Juggling while bouncing a ball on the forehead is a trick similar to juggling while balancing an object on the forehead. Head bouncing is easiest when done with a bigger ball than normal juggling balls. If you do a head bounce while juggling rings, it's possible to do a pull down while still doing the head bounce.(video) It's also possible to do a head bounce with two or more balls at the same time, in columns.(video)
