Summary: Why not?
Review: I got "Juggling for the Complete Klutz" 10 years ago. I was pathetic, a young man bored to the point of...boredom! And look at me now! After 10 years of hard work and practice, I always have something to do between my book signings, movie takes, and state dinners! (I can get a decent run of 5-ball, too.) P.S. Klutz should do a sequel, sometime...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's really true--this book can teach ANYONE to juggle
Review: I learnt to juggle in the early 80's from this book, and since then I've bought it for half a dozen friends aged from 9 to 40, and recommended it to dozens more. I'm as klutzy as they come: no coordination, awkward, two left feet--but this book had me juggling in thirty minutes. No kidding. Only three or four tosses, but I was hooked, and by the end of the week my back ached (from picking up dropped balls!) and I could juggle for as long as I wanted.

Cassidy and Rimbeaux give four basic steps to learning: The Drop, The Toss, The Exchange, and The Jug. As they make clear, the toss and exchange are really all there is to it. The fact is that juggling three balls is *much* more straightforward than it seems, and this book does a terrific job of breaking it down into pieces in such a way that it seems obvious. Last week I bought a copy for the son of a friend of mine, and the clerk asked me if the book was good. By the time she'd finished running my credit card, I'd explained to her the basic steps. It really is that simple.

It's that simple, and this book can take a lot of the credit for making it that simple. Oh, there's more in the book than those four steps--they talk about common problems, how to juggle four and even five balls, juggling with two people, and lots of cool tricks. But the fun part is getting those first three balls up there, and keeping them there.

Actually the fact that there's so much about tricks in a 75 page book tells you there's not much to learn to juggle three balls. All you need to know you get in the first 20 pages. But it will keep you (and your friends!) entertained for the rest of your life.

Summary: Step-by-step-by-step
Review: I love this book! It was extremely useful when I was learning to juggle and even comes with 3 juggling balls. The illustrations are also very humourous. It does not give step-by-step instructions, but rather, step-by-step-by-step!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Beginner's Only!!!
Review: I personally think this book gets more publicity then it deserves. It's good for a beginner only. A real, true juggling beginner. Because it doesn't go into the depths and advances juggling can go into. Not even close!!! But, if you don't know how to juggle and want to know how. Get this book, then go to The Complete Juggler then start doing the real stuff!!! Go to the JIS to find out more info about juggling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How did you learn to do that? --- I read this book.
Review: I read the Klutz book of juggling many years ago (when it was their only product) today I'm a competent juggler of just about anything... balls, rings, knives, clubs, torches... I've tried it all. Even if you never intend to go into performing it's a great discipline to learn, and hours of fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Now I am a Complete Klutz!
Review: I received this book with the 3 beanbag cubes from my children for Christmas several years ago. Much to my surprise (and to their delight), I found that I was able to juggle using all of the cubes after about an hour of driving everyone crazy with constant cries of "Look out" or "I meant to do that". I would recommend this book to anyone. When you are juggling, you have to use all of your concentration, which is a great way to relieve stress and boredom, after which you will be able to go back to whatever task you were doing previously, with a clearer head.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I can juggle now!
Review: I received this for my birthday from my parents four years ago. Within two weeks I was a "crack" juggler with three beanbags or two in either hand. This is from a real "Complete Klutz," too. I mean, I was just pathetic. This is an awesome book. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE can learn to juggle with it. And I've never found anything better to juggle with than the included beanbags. If you want to juggle, BUY IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the Best
Review: I used this book and the beanbags to learn to juggle two years ago. The book is lots of fun and the beanbags are easy to learn with. I have moved to rings, clubs, torches, and even toilet brushes(new in the store), but I keep coming back to the beanbags for an easy break or to learn new tricks.

You can't beat the value of the Klutz products [another website] for juggling.

Summary: One word: SUPERB!
Review: I was amazed when I saw myself juggling."Mummy! Come and see! I'm actually juggling!!!!!" I hollered.
