If the cup is made from thin plastic you can cut it with your finger & thumbnail, for thicker plastic you will need a pair of scissors. Take a pair of gloves and to each finger of each glove sew or glue a short length of thread. The electric version uses a bit of thread twisting round a biro refill pushed onto a motor shaft & rubber band return spring. You can do it surprisingly consistantly, for best results hold near a wall in a dark room, for truly spectacular patterns whirl it round horizontally in an (empty) bath. So that when you hold the pen you can spin the pointer round & round which causes the spinner to turn. This is a windmill made with three wheels stuck tangentially to a bit of card, you blow it round with a hand-held fan. One works by threading some cotton through a very small bit of drinking straw with a needle then stretching the cotton and blowing on the drinking straw with another one used as a blowpipe held in your lips. If you make a small indentation in the middle with a ballpoint pen you can balance it on the pen point and make it spin by blowing at it gently.
To make the basic nature of matter even harder to picture, consider the fact an electron's size is so small that it effectively lacks volume. For the comedy climax the head tilts still further forward to expose the fact that something besides skill is holding the hat in position. The hat may be allowed to settle back on head and again flipped to the balanced position. Catch on back of neck. The December issue will be slightly late too,, but after the Christmas rush maybe we can settle down and get back on time again. It lends itself to marking-out & decoration on the outer (printable) surface although this raises the issue of the cost of printer ink. You have to break a cheap felt tip to get the ink tube and the tip. You blue-tack two felt tips to the swinging arms formed by folding the card. You inflate the polythene bag by blowing down the straw, but only when the weighted straw is swinging upwards. Yet, unlike the cue ball, a particle's spin can never speed up or slow down Ð rather, it's always confined to a set value. Spin plate on stick. Spin is one of these qualities.
Make the cleat by bending a paperclip, billiard cue thread types adjust the string so that the bottle has an angle of attack of 30 degrees as you spin it round. The other end of the pointer is attached to a paperclip which is bent round the barrel of a pen. By getting the timing just right you can make the weight go round & round, you don't have to blow very hard, just get the timing right. It's not only more interesting but it is also easier to make because you don't need the wherewithall to cut & bend wire. In practice this is quite difficult, and you need something sharp to make the holes. If you make them one-ended they sound like a steam train. Tom Breen says in reply to our article on audience participation, " We have been using the audience participation idea now for about four years and it really does go over nicely. We were playing at Alpine Village in Cleveland and one night went over extra well and Herman Pirchener who is M.C. as well as owner of the place insisted on an encore. So we asked the audience if they would like to see Herman try to Juggle. The new gag went over well and we kept it in after that. December 15th Collier's breaks the story on Lew Folds. The article is replete with errors. It is too bad the article wasn't written better because such publicity on a national scale has been scarce and should be valuable to all Jugglers by increasing public interest in the art. Larry Weeks types, "While en route to New York from Oakland, Calif., the train stopped in Chicago for four hours, so after buying a paper and finding The Five Willys listed at the Oriental, taxied right over, and spent a very pleasant couple of hours with them.
He married a charming Kansas girl, who was a dancer, and in the short space of one years time, he has taught her enough juggling so that his entire army job to date has been in special services. If the hands are held fairly closely together you get a semblance of unusual juggling. Hugh Shepley adds to the list of books mentioning Juggling.-- "Circus" by Paul Eipper, published by Viking Press, N.Y., 1931. Contains a half-page description of Enrico Rastelli's act, mentioning his torch juggling particularly. It doesn't work with mirror-plastic because it's too heavy & inertia takes charge. If it were large enough to have volume, the negative charge spread throughout that space would push on itself, tearing the electron apart. The exact length will have to be based on a trial. You can attach them to anything light, they will still work if badly made. Now if you are wearing the gloves and move your hands and fingers, the balls will jump around wildly but cannot get away. You blow in the bendy straw, slide the other one to get 'music'.
