"Elliptic Design"

4 min juggling in a box

“It looks kind of like as if somebody were to play billiard in a telephone booth.”

An art form which is 4000 years old rarely experiences innovations today. Jugglers ladle from the deep well of this art and present possible variations. With "Elliptic design", Thomas Endel sheds an entirely new light on this old art form. With much effort he designed a rectangular show-case and began to experiment with juggling balls that bounce. After spending 6 years developing this sensational invention he presented it for the first time in 2006 in the Scala Variety Show, and was promptly booked for an affiliated engagement in the Star Club Variety Show in Kassel

3, 4 and 5 balls make various patterns while criss-crossing and bouncing on up to 8 sidewalls before they fly back into the hands of Thomas Endel on seemingly invisible rails. This performance is a curiosity in the juggling scene and is unique and beyond compare in the world. There is, however, a tad bit of danger to the spectator: when watching him one will surely become dizzy.
