Scarves:  Many people start out juggling scarves.  The official club policy is that scarves, though they fall slowly, are not a good way to start.  They do not help you learn the rhythm necessary for other equipment, plus it is hard to throw them upward.  They can however make a good show.

Beanbags:  These are the best way to start learning how to juggle.  They fall at the same rate as most any other piece of equipment and if you drop them they don't roll very far.  Also if they land on your head while your learning they don't hurt.  This is what most every member of the club started with.

Stage Balls:  Slightly more showy than beanbags, stage balls are a shiny plastic that is very visible from a stage (hence the name, WOW).  They are best for use after you've already learned how to juggle because they can roll pretty far and may hurt if they fall on you.

Weighted Balls:  We have two types of weighted balls.  One is a homemade set made by putting BB pellets in a tennis ball, and the other one is a store bought set.  These offer more resistance when they land in your hand, and therefore don't tend to bounce out.  Also they are great for exercise.

Acrylic Ball:  For those of you who have seen Labyrinth, this ball is for contact juggling.  That is where you take the ball and roll it over your hand, up your arm, and any other cool looking thing you can think of.

Clubs:  If you learn how to juggle, your friends won't stop bugging you till you learn how to juggle clubs.  Most people learn how to juggle balls first and then they move on to clubs.  They work with basically the same principle, only you have to learn how to flip them as well.  Some say they are easier to do because there is more to catch than just a small ball.  They are great for shows and rather impressive to see done.

Rings:  Well in case you don't think you can juggle enough things yet, we throw rings into the mix.  Once again it is basically the same as juggling clubs and balls except you catch them in a different way.  They look pretty interesting when you want to put something different into your act.

Diabolo:  This is a fun little toy.  A diabolo is a yo-yo like object that is placed over a string that is attached to two sticks.  You use the string to spin the diabolo and do tricks like toss it in the air and catch it on the string, or jump it from stick to stick.

Spinning Plate:  This is a fun trick to learn.  It doesn't take much effort, but it can look pretty cool if you learn some tricks.  You can toss it from stick to stick or balance it on your finger, and if you tilt the stick the plate will stay flat.

Torches:  My personal favorite juggling accessory are torches.  To start out it is best to practice with them put out, and after you improve enough you can light them and impress everyone with a cool light show.

Fyre Balls:  The newest addition to our equipment are Fyre Balls.  They are balls with a Kevlar cage around them and a wick in the center of the ball.  You light the center wick and juggle them.  The effect at night makes it look like you are simply juggling fire.  Very cool prop.

Unicycle:  The great equalizer.  Though you may feel daunted because you can't juggle all these amazing props that the other members can, you need not worry about that with a unicycle.  None of us can ride it.  We have a book or two and can give you some basic tips, but you will be on the same level as everyone else in the club.

Dice and Cup:  The newest attraction to TJC is dice stacking.  You take four dice and run the cup over them, picking them up one at a time in a little flourish.  You then place the cup down, and when you lift them up, they are stacked.  There are several weird things you can do with this and you can be doing it within minutes.

(no picture available) Book:  The club does own a book with instructions on how to do tricks with almost all of the equipment listed above and tips on how to form a routine. 

(no picture available) Video:  The club also owns an instructional video with step-by-step instructions on various types of tricks and routines.  Also we have a video on Michael Moschen a truly great juggler.
