Jackie Earle Haley on Val Kilmer

 

Sad to hear about @valkilmer. This poster’s been hanging in my house for years. Really enjoyed working with him way back when. Warm, friendly, super talented. One of the things I remember most was when he taught me how to juggle. Hugs to his family. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/IhC6KkOKAb

Can O' History - The Art of Plate Spinning

One of those topics that turned out to be really interesting. I remembered plate spinning still being on TV in the late 70s and I wondered how that ever became an act. Turns out it is an ancient part of juggling. This link on the history of plate spinning is excellent and well done.

Juggling

Recreating a Kinja post. The post saver provided is less than ideal. Images are non-convertible WebP, and if you didn't allow Kinja to open the post completely there are many blank images. Fortunately after a certain point in my Kinja career I always provided a link to the image, and in that sense the post saver gives you a template to recreate what you did in the past. This is an attempt to do so. I tried to copy and paste whole posts to Wordpress when I started that one but that also didn't work. Vintage Juggling from the Library of Congress. Header 1923.
