True, it isn't really glow in the dark, but it's neat. Hopefully they'll get more before Christmas so you can order some. Do you have a black light?
A nylon bag would be better and easier to clean. Are you going to post pictures of it?

I said that I made them but all I did was to add mechanical knots to ditty bags that you can get at camping stores. The black one will hold 4 of those beanbags and the blue one will hold 3. Attachments:

In the book VIRTUOSOS OF JUGGLING it says that juggling spread partly due to the use of boomerangs as a hunting and war instrument. I use to throw boomerangs (the returning kind)! Around here it proved to be to difficult. You either need no wind or stable wind. We are very mountainous here. Every now and then I would get a good throw and catch in and it was awesome. A baseball game even stopped once so they could watch me. The non-returning boomerang or throwing stick isn't as effected by the wind.

Hubby threw the returning kind of boomerang with his friends when we lived in another city. He hasn't thrown any since we moved. Guess we don't have a good place for it around here.

Did he have a kit bag with several boomerangs in it like me? I had some traditionals and Vs and omegas. I liked the Vs and omegas because they went out further. I never got around to getting any hooks but I wish that I would have. I think that mine might be in storage. They would look nice hanging on a wall some day.

Hubby just has them in a bag made of a thin foam-like material. I don't think he has any "hooks."They sound interesting.

I bought these light up juggling balls today at TOYS R US for $6.34. They were on clearance. I bought the batteries at the Dollar Store. Radio Shack wanted like $6 per cell  Attachments:

These are them. He writes about them being to light weight. I am going to see what if anything I can do about that.

Radio Shack wanted like $6 per cell  Yeah, Radio Shack can be rather expensive. We have both a Dollar Tree and a Dollar Store over here. I'd rather go to one of them for batteries and things like that. Hope the juggling balls work for you.

I just got my juggling gear ready for tomorrow. The weather is calling for many nice days in a row and I want to get out juggling for all of them. When the bad weather sets in I wont get to juggle clubs at all  Pittsburgh to the west has 2 juggling clubs and State College to the east has 1 juggling club but there is nothing like that here

Sorry that there isn't an official place to juggle indoors where you live. Hope you can get out to juggle on the nice days that are left.

I went juggling at Roxbury Park today and did well. I made some progress. I was able to do 7 consectutive throws & catches with my clubs in the cascade pattern several times.
