This Amazing Contact Juggler Seems to Defy Gravity

Contact juggling is an old trick (sport? hobby?) but it seems to be getting trendy these days – a performance involving balancing, spinning and rolling a ball on your arms and hands without releasing it into the air. And when you’ve got a talented juggler like this kid, the results are amazing. Using a clear glass sphere, he looks like he’s playing with a magic floating crystal ball.

Throw in a mellow bass line from a nearby busker and you’ve got a relaxing, mesmerizing performance.
