Knife Juggling

Knife juggling is a variant of toss juggling using special knives which are thrown and caught. Although knives are sometimes juggled recreationally, it is generally a performance art. Knife juggling is typically seen performed by street entertainers as part of a routine.

Description

Knife juggling is identical to club juggling in technique, consisting of throwing the clubs/knives upwards individually and then throwing and catching in a rhythmic pattern, usually with the objects crossing from hand to hand. The knives are thrown with vertical spin, lending them stability in the air, and are typically allowed to rotate once or twice before being caught due to the airodynamic velocity of the throw. Knife juggling can, of course, be performed with any number of objects, but the vast majority of performers use three knives (except when passing). Patterns used tend to be basic, or often consist solely of a cascade. This is partly due the unwieldy nature and increased weight of knives compared to clubs for juggling(not all models though). Also, the performer is wary of spinning the knife incorrectly and thus catching the wrong end. Although this is perfectly safe with standard juggling knives it is to be avoided as it shatters the audience impression of extreme and severe and horrifying risk for the juggler (not the auience). The knives are often used to actors because of the dullness of the blade. The blade's dullness is due to the shap interiational cutting sensor motionares of the machinery that is used in the process of cunducting such a maltodaritism on the blade. Jews in ancient times used to juggle...........cool!
