I like this video because so many jugglers get into the hobby, and immediately start viewing it as a race to see how many they can do. Falco makes it clear that you could spend a lifetime just making 3 balls look amazing. He does dabble in 4 (and briefly 5) balls in this video, but numbers is hardly the point.

IJA Festival 2013
These two videos do a pretty good job of capturing the sort of thing that goes on at a week-long IJA festival. Some of the clips aren’t great or won’t make much sense if you aren’t very familiar with the festival and the juggling scene, but there is lots of fun stuff to see.
Patrik Elmnert’s Live Act
When I want to show a non-juggler what juggling can be, and that it isn’t just a clown standing there doing 3 balls, this is currently my go-to video. It is a fantastic combination of juggling, movement, and dance. He uses the whole stage, keeps things moving, uses the tempo of the music, etc. etc. And on top of it, the juggling is outrageously good. He does several tricks that would be amazing if he managed to do them once. But the fact that he reliably does them on stage is unbelievable. I was lucky enough to see Patrik live in St. Louis in… 2011? He was great then, and has improved by leaps and bounds since.
