On Wednesday at 2:30 PM at Cradlepoint I have an interview with KBOI 2 news about promoting STEM education and then I will attempt to reclaim the most difficult Guinness World Record I have ever set. It is the one I have practiced for on a weekly, if not daily basis for more than 2 years. On Wednesday, I will attempt to become the fastest juggler in the world by re-breaking the Guinness World Record for “Most Juggling Catches in 1 Minutes (3 balls)”. The current record is 502 catches in 1 minute.
You may ask, don’t you already claim to be the fastest juggler in the world? Yes… but. On Wednesday I remove the but. The but right now is that Guinness recently changed the interpretation of their rules to allow the shower juggling pattern to be used for speed juggling vs the cascade pattern. The juggling community still only recognizes the cascade juggling pattern and I still hold that record at 472 catches in 1 minute. When I first broke this record it stood at 422 catches in 1 minute. I upped it to 428. The rules changed and it jumped all the way to 502 catches in 1 minute. I would just assume hold both to remove any dispute.
In the shower pattern, the balls move around in a circle and 2 throws and catches happen nearly simultaneously vs the cascade pattern where each ball is thrown up and over to the other hand one at a time. For the last 11 months, I’ve been practicing with the shower pattern to get it up to speed since before all my speed juggling and blindfold speed juggling has been dedicated to mastering the cascade pattern.
