This book was given to me as a birthday gift by my girlfriends aunt. I think we may have got our wires crossed as Aunt Maggie is a little old and doesn't hear to good these days. She phoned to ask me what I wanted and I said that I was researching the history of hunting and would love a book or guide to cudgelling. Obviously this got translated in her ancient mind to a guide to juggling, but such mistakes must be taken as opportunities.

The book is a very informative guide and as a complete beginner I found it easy to follow. It doesn't use technical terms which really helped, and the three balls included in the set avoids the embarassment of having to go into a clown supply store and look a complete juggling newbie as you look for the right kind of balls. Those provided were of good quality and weight, and after just a weeks solid practice I was managing to keep all three going for almost a minute! Practise is important though, and the book emphasises this but still makes it an enjoyable task. It would be very easy to become frustrated as you constantly lose co-ordination but the book is full of positive little mental notes to help focus you and get you right back on track. I'm now getting to the stage where my ability means I can add it as a new party trick when my girlfriend and I have visitors round. Her parole officer was much amused by my under-the-leg manouvere and it takes some effort to make him smile :-).

In short if you want to get into juggling then this is the book to start with. If only all Aunt Maggies mistakes were as fruitful as this one!

Great kit! I knew how to juggle before buying this kit, but only the basic 3-ball stuff. I learned a few new tricks from the book. Very helpful, but if you can't learn from reading, try looking up tutorials on youtube.

Photograph shows book and juggling balls (a kit). All I received was the book without the juggling balls. Seller graciously returned purchase price.

Book seems well written, but twice I bought the item and it came in the mail with just the book. The picture shows it comes with balls, which it should, but some reason people send book without them. The book refers to the balls in first chapter even.

I ordered a juggling kit, with book and balls and only received a book, not even the same title!! They expected me to send it back and all I wanted was what I ordered. Would never order from that company again! Bookholders
