There seems to be a little confusion in some people's minds about
552 versus 55550.  55550 can be visualised by juggling 4 luminous
balls and one black ball, and then turning out the lights.  It's
a genuine 5 balls with a hole that is treated just like a ball.

552 is also 5 balls with one missing, but the hole does not behave
like an ordinary ball.  When it comes down to a hand, instead of
being exchanged like a ball, thus creating an empty hand, it bounces
back into the air, leaving behind the ball that was already in the
hand.  Thus the hole is never caught and held, and so there is never
an empty hand.

Secondly, if you watch closely "Brewster's Millions", the remake
staring Richard Prior, in one scene there are jugglers in the background,
almost entirely obscured.  They appear to be passing 7 or eight clubs.
What _are_ they doing, and who are they?
