The most common things to juggle are – of course – balls. Almost as popular are clubs (which look a little like bowling pins) and rings.
Other items include something called “flower sticks” and – for the much more advanced and daring – even swords and torches.
You won’t find any flaming torches at the Ashburn Library on Hay Road where the Ashburn Juggling Society meets monthly.
These are family-friendly affairs where members practice together and show off their latest skills while also teaching the basics to novices and newcomers.
“Since we moved to the library, there are so many kids who walk by, so we often get a lot of families and kids that we teach,” said Adam Belsky, the club’s founder.
