What does Contact Juggling means?
Contact juggling is a style of juggling which uses balance and precision to move the objects being juggled, in contrast to "toss" juggling in which a juggler throws the objects into the air and catches them rapidly. A good example of this is Jareth the Goblin King's manipulation of glass orbs in the movie Labyrinth.
Contact Juggling is a style of single or multiple ball manipulation also called Dynamic Manipulation and Sphere play, seen repeatedly in the movie Labyrinth. A practiced contact juggler will eventually be able to roll, spin, toss and pass the ball back and forth, looping and bobbing it over the fingertips, palms, the tops of the hands, arms and other parts of the body in a graceful dance.
How to choose the suitable juggling ball size for beginner?
The ideal choice to buy can vary person to person. The size and the weight of contact juggling balls are the main variables that will determine the best fit for you. The classic ball is 75 mm, the most popular size of contact juggling ball. It has some heft to it, and is very sturdy.

Contact Juggling is a style of single or multiple ball manipulation also called Dynamic Manipulation and Sphere play, seen repeatedly in the movie Labyrinth. A practiced contact juggler will eventually be able to roll, spin, toss and pass the ball back and forth, looping and bobbing it over the fingertips, palms, the tops of the hands, arms and other parts of the body in a graceful dance.
Hold your favored hand out, palm down with fingers extended and touching. Dip the straightened middle finger down slightly to make a cradle for the ball. Place and leave the ball on top of the fingers near the second knuckles of the first, middle and ring fingers. Keep it there for several minutes at a time to get used to it. Move your hand around, up and down as the ball is cradled on top of it, adjusting for inertia. Find the cradle on the tops of both your hands and become very accustomed to the ball being there.
This is intrinsic to DSJUGGLING contact juggling.
Hold the ball in your open palm, set on the upper, meaty part between the third and second knuckles.
Now, keeping the fingers together and straight (but not tense), give the ball a very slight lift up and pivot your open hand inwards, still underneath the ball so that it rolls over the outer edge of your index finger and lands in the cradle position on the top of your hand. Hold it a few moments.
Now rotate it back to your palm with the opposite pivoting motion, dropping the plane of your hand back down if you need to. Practice until the ball moves as little as possible while your hand moves under it.
Eventually there will be "sweet spots" where you instinctively feel it and perform the move effortlessly.
Set the ball in the open palm as in step 2, the ball will roll over the fingertips.
Hold the ball in your open palm with the fingers together and gesturing towards ten o'clock (left) or two o'clock (right), depending on which hand you're starting with (it should look like you're about to shrug with one arm). Then, using your elbow for a counterbalance (get your upper arm working, too), steadily swing your open palm in towards you with a windshield-wiper, arching kind of motion and let the ball roll over the tips of the fingers (just between the first and middle fingers) and on to the cradle position (top of the hand). Once the ball comes to rest on the cradle, pivot/swing your arm in the same arc back to the starting position and allow the ball to pass back over the fingertips to the palm. The ball should ultimately go over without the fingers being spread too far apart, you can also try learning this transfer with the ball first cradled in front of you and arc it out to the palm.
This is the previous palm-to-cradle-fingertips transfer done back and forth rhythmically so that the ball travels in a fluid figure-eight or windshield wiper motion as it glides to-and-fro.
The only difference is that your elbow should be free to move around a lot more to support a fluid motion. To get a well-rounded figure-eight, lift the ball in a small, inward curve from your palm as the ball passes over it back to the cradle. Start off slowly and deliberately so you can get used to the move and watch it. The butterfly looks its best, though, when done snug and sleek. Once you've really got it, try reversing the direction of the figure-eight.
