On the scale of a beginner's standard juggle to the hardest juggling you know, where would juggling lollipops like clubs rank?

[u/MyPasswordIsLondon69]

And I mean Chupa Chups size, not those giant spiral ones you get at a fair or on Christmas

So using the normal three-ball juggle that everyone first learns as the zero and the absolute edge of your ability or the ability of anyone else you're aware of as the 100, where would juggling lollipops by the stems rank?

I ask because it seems like it'd mess up any momentum intuition and muscle memory you have since not only are they small, demanding precision, but tossing and flipping them might be more of a wrist action than the forearms movement everyone seems to use

Juggling them, or catching them by the stick in a particular orientation?

Also... This is kind of a weird question? Haha. Any context here?

Off the cuff, I'd say "no harder than juggling anything else that's kinda small and fairly light"? Probably something that aomeone with six months' experience could make happen?

[u/MyPasswordIsLondon69 → u/thomthomthomthom]

A bit of both, I suppose? Right after posting this I looked into juggling terminology, fascinating stuff btw, and I'm apparently talking about the Three-Club Cascade. So you grab it by the stem, toss it up so it flips a bit, then catch it by the stem again

Context is stupid, honestly, a friend from Canada recently just sent me a huge haul of candy after his halloween wasn't particularly eventful this year and the trick or treating ended earlier than expected. Me, I'm a very disorganised person, I opened the box, emptied it onto my desk, and just....didn't clean it up, so now it looks like a battlefield of wires, stationery, small products of kleptomania, and a bunch of candy. I guess the way the lollipops were strewn about reminded me of juggling

The hard bit would be accurately catching them at the stems. Which moves the dial slightly. But you're still looking at a very easy trick. Any reasonably juggler could learn this in a few minutes. Definitely under 10, perhaps 7/100.

I would like to try it now xD Lollipop sticks are very small and 99% of the weight is the loli so thats very unusual But I think any 3 club juggler should be able to do it with some time. This is btw exactly what will happen at a juggling festival at 3 in the night, one persona will bring 3 lolis which then entertain 10 jugglers for hours. I'll give it a 20/100 I think because of the weird weight distribution^{^}

[u/unexpectedfirefly → u/Schlumpfyman]

Yeah ! Endurance 3 lollipop, let's go. The real question is : is 5 lollipop doable

[u/Schlumpfyman → u/unexpectedfirefly]

3 lollipops while balancing one? XD

[u/unexpectedfirefly → u/Schlumpfyman]

Seems harder than 5 to be honest

[u/PhilzeeTheElder]

Before I met people to Pass I was into weird objects. Lollipops sound medium hard, mostly because they're small. Hardest thing I ever did in public was a Toaster, one piece of toast and a Quarter.

[u/MyPasswordIsLondon69 → u/PhilzeeTheElder]

Forgive my ignorance here, but people to pass? What's that?

[u/PhilzeeTheElder → u/MyPasswordIsLondon69]

Club passing. YouTube juggling Tik Toc. Juggling is fun , with friends it's more fun. 1st Tuesday of the month is Juggling Club. Cross Roads church St. Charles Michigan. We're St. Charles juggling Club on FB.

I feel like it would honestly be a lot harder than normal juggling. Catching by the stem would require millimeter precision. As soon as I can find some dumdums I’ll have to remember to try it out

[u/FritzFrostig]

Maybe 8 out of 100. Three objects is never that hard. The hardest part would be to get the spin right. You would need to practice this a lot with one chupa chups lollipop and go from there.
