Numbers Juggling Achievements

Unofficial Lists of Personal Numbers Juggling Records - Maintained by JAG

An Explanation of Sources:

Several people have expressed a concern about the validity of the records posted on this page. For that reason, I have decided to disclose the sources for my information. You may draw whatever conclusions you wish from the information I provide. I do not intend for this page to be used as an official source of records, only as a benchmark to be used by other numbers jugglers such as myself. It is both helpful and motivational for me to compare my progress to others. The simplest way of doing this is by tracking my personal bests - in terms of the number of catches made.

I've tried to think of a simple system of describing sources. Here's what I came up with:

V - Video
P - Performed
D - Documented (ie. published)
W - Witnessed
N - No witness

1 - first hand (I saw the act in person, or on video)
2 - second hand (juggler/witness told me in person, by email, newsgroup posting, or published article)
3 - third hand (juggler/witness told person who told me)
4 - anything worse (rumor)

For any particular record, I will use one letter and one number. Letters & numbers are listed above in approximate order of importance. Although a record may have been performed in front of many witnesses, documented, and videotaped, it will still be listed as just "V1", which is the highest rating. (or "V2" if I haven't seen the video)

In addition to this code, a brief comment will be added to clarify the source when needed. (ie. "D2 - JW Fall '94", or "V2 - JIS", or "W2 - Andrew Conway")

I also have added links to online evidence whenever it is available. Simply click on the name of each highlighted juggler. If web pages are not available, I have provided links to email addresses.

Let me know what you think of this system, and if you have any suggestions for improving it.
I'm also always looking for better sources, if you have one, please let me know!
