I'd like to announce A COMPETITION

for the best muggle-friendly skill based video(s) knocking about the internet.

Criteria are, in no particular order:
* Technical skill
* Great videography
* Accessibility to non-jugglers
* I like it

The prize for this competition is that the winning video(s) will be screened in my office board room to my colleagues during lunchtime next Wednesday.

Any nominations?

Thanks,

It is rare when I can enjoy a full juggling vid, but Wes Peden Sucks did it for me. Will it also do that for mugglers? Maybe..

This Kiev vid has also always been very watchable

Or how about this? Once you have little knowledge of juggling, this breaks all the rules yet not too complicated!

I don't like this video, but the internet did:

https://vimeo.com/1484883 doesn't need much explanation, and I have shown this to multiple muggles.

https://vimeo.com/85896096 - the technical level on this is through the roof, and from the number of hits it got I can only assume lots of non-jugglers like it too! I think that whilst they do some subtle things that will appeal to jugglers, a lot of their tricks are also very obviously different which helps.

I don't usually watch juggling videos anymore, but I'm glad I watched that last one. Wow. It started good, then they did 5 club shadows! Then it just got better and better, my jaw dropped, my brain melted, etc. Fantastic...

I did see Road Bike Party 2 recently, which along with the personal story behind the making of the video was incredible (and it doesn't entirely blatently advertise a famous soft drink)

Ooh, thanks for reminding me Brook! I totally vote for Carpool lane for mugglers. They even have multi color prop sets to appeal to mugglers ;)

I feel that Chris Bliss will have to step it up a bit.

Can't have the whole session being adverts for Red Bull and TVs tho.

Vote Norbi!

Another vote for "dust in the chain" from me.

On a similar note, I showed peter bones 3 ball stack video to a room full of my colleagues recently, and they "got" how insanely hard that trick is. Although that somewhat fails the cinematography criteria :)

That video did quite well on MSN and Yahoo! videos and I ended up making around £300 from it.

Norbi - - Parent

Thanks for the love, people! I originally only suggested those 2 because I thought Emily wanted juggling videos. I just saw she was looking for "skill-based", and I'm flattered that I don't need to add more...as you've already done it!
So while I'm here and shamelessly throwing all my stuff out there. I think this vid would be enjoyed by people too

OK, I will be making a teeny video cabaret in the meeting room and the lineup will be as follows.

Our assembled company of lost souls who didn't book enough Christmas holiday very much enjoyed the videos. Also the beers we found hidden in the kitchen.

On Dust in the Chain, "Ah, this is quite like unicycling, isn't it", and then quite late in the video: "Oh I SEE, this is gymnastics".
On Carpool Lane: "So is this choreographed?"
