I did kind of figured out that this hobby can get pretty addictive. I'm glad though that there are people like you who are "short-circuiting" people's brains a bit :-) Do you have any of your new videos posted on YouTube? It would be interesting to see what kind of tricks with the ball you can perform now?! So, looks like David was right then about the background music being performed by the Scottish band... ;-) Wow, Thom, thanks so much for dropping by.

You see, that's me in that video (quite a long time ago, I have more control but less hair now) and reading your post about the contactavist that you met made me smile. I can identify with what you saw and I see a lot of myself in the performer that you encountered, I practice whenever and wherever I can, it's an addictive hobby and I like to think that I've made a few people's days slightly more surreal. Everyone reacts in different ways and some people can get angry or spiteful if they see something they don't understand, or if they can't see the 'trick'. Still this amuses me because I know that I just short-circuited a bit of their brain. If anyone does want to learn, youtube "brinechild" for some tutorials that i made, google the ministry of manipulation and read their articles and sign up to the contactjuggling.org forums. Good luck and take it easy Thom (Brinechild) Hello from Edinburgh.

It would have been awesome to see that guy in person! And you actually tried this, Vivien? It takes some courage to ask a perfect stranger to try something like that. Must've been a great experience! I remember the blue hands that formed themselves into faces in Labyrinth (now <em>that</em> was weird!) and that's about it. I don't remember the contact juggling. I never knew this was a fairly widespread hobby! What a wonderful new thing to learn today. Everybody seems a little crazy at times until you get to know them, and then the way they act/react makes perfect sense! I laughed when I read John's comment that he would be offended if someone called him ordinary. I'll have to remember never to do that! Cool! It would have been awesome to see that guy in person!

The music is usually a lot harder than that, with a heavy kind of break-beat base line. That particular track is either an intro or and outro on one of their albums.

It's interesting to see a Scottish band choosing such a Canadian name :-) The music in that video is very soothing. I was a bit confused with all that conversation in the background. Do you know if it's a typical thing for Boards Of Canada compositions - to add some talk to the song? huh, yes that was quite a coincidence, David.

I wonder how long David Bowie had to practice for in Labyrinth. I loved that movie as a kid, though when I tried watching it again a year or two back it just didn't have the same magic. Still, it'll always hold memories for me. If I'm not mistaken, the backing music on that YouTube clip is from Boards of Canada, an Edinburgh based group. Coincidental how Canada and Scotland are combined in one of your posts. ;) Wow, nice video clip! I wonder how long David Bowie had to practice for in Labyrinth.
