Started just this semester, Penn Jugglers focuses on the practice and teaching of circus-style juggling (and no experience is necessary to join!). Not only will learn how to juggle, but you can also pick up a few other parlor tricks (Diabolo, a form of Chinese yo-yo, anyone?). And if you’re lucky, you may find yourself mastering juggling stunts like the Orbit and the Double Half Suicide.
