Juggling, diabolo and general circus skills.

Hello, was wondering if many Smashboarders are into juggling/diabolo/devil sticks/unicycling/poi/other such pastimes and hobbies?
I'm an ok diaboloist and an avid unicyclist, but exams and revision and such have stopped me from practicing lately. Gonna start everything again in the summer though, and hopefully take up club juggling.
It's all remarkably good fun, plus from my experiences the kind of people who share an interest in circus skills tend to be the friendliest people on Earth.
And don't get me started on the conventions.:)

So, yeah.. Anyone else got any juggling-related thoughts or experiences to share?

I can do three balls, but I never developed the discipline to precisely control my throwing (and juggling is all about the throwing; catching is trivial). So I can sort of do four balls and I can sort of juggle clubs but not really well.

The one thing I really want to learn with three balls is the Box, but it's so hard...

I've got a few tricks with 3 balls (Tennis, Mills' Mess-ish) haven't properly tried 4 yet though, my left hand won't do what I tell it.:ohwell:
