I was expecting something that would connect rings together solidly enough to create new juggleable shapes but disappointingly just seems to be a way of turning your rings into a Lego set.

Me being me I just sliced up a margarine container, glued the bits together like so & found they did an adequate job.

I did get distracted by some pretty looking dice on the Shapeways website.

What is it with people joining props together at the moment? We've had Wes taping clubs together, Luke burrage taping knives together, Michael karas joining rings together...

Who's next, and what are they going to glue together?

Donald Grant taping diabolos together? Aaron Sparks taping yoyos together? Maybe Void will tape some kendamas together for us?

I taped rings together in 2008, would just like to throw that out there.

So what you're saying is you were taping things together before it was cool?

Bloody hipster ;)

I've managed to steer clear of the moustache, but I am an avid instagrammer...

It might be quite cool to konnect two unicycles together - one wheel in front of the other. Balancing between the two wheels would make for an easier and more stable ride than having to balance on just one unicycle. Perhaps some kind of raised steering/hand resting device could be attached to the front.

If you could glue two jugglers together who would you choose?

Little Paul - 2014-07-29 17:01:05 UTC - Parent #

Jason Garfield, and anyone named on this list https://jasongarfield.com/fans/hack.php

I think I'd like to glue you & Manu Laude together. You're welcome.

I'm not sure he'd be my first choice these days... I'd say who would but I wouldn't want to lower the tone quite that far...

I taped two diabolos back together for a show in 2007, I think. There are photos floating about somewhere (maybe on the front cover of the EJC 2007 DVD?) so it's not exactly new. Taping knives together the other week was entirely a Throw Joy rip-off though ;)

Very not-clear, but that's me right in the middle with two red diabolos linked with white tape balanced on my elbow.
