Juggling is a physical skill, performed by a
juggler, involving the
manipulation of objects for recreation, entertainment, art, or sport. The most recognizable form of juggling is
toss juggling. Juggling can be the manipulation of one object or many objects at the same time, using one or many hands. Jugglers often refer to the objects they juggle as
props. The most common props are
balls,
clubs, or
rings. Some jugglers use more dramatic objects such as
knives,
fire torches or
chainsaws. The term
juggling can also commonly refer to other prop-based manipulation skills, such as
diabolo,
devil sticks,
poi,
cigar boxes,
contact juggling,
hooping, and
hat manipulation.
