For the last three weekends I've been doing "walk-around" juggling at a local shopping mall. The objective here is to get hurrying X-mas shoppers to stop and watch. As has been previously discussed, technical tricks don't work too well at gathering a crowd - with one exception. I found that a five ball bounce (drop or forced) really gets some attention. (I know, I know, not exactly a HIGHLY technical trick...) I'm not sure if it's 'cause the trick's a bit unusual or the added noise it makes, but it was a sure fire way to get people to stop. Then you can grab them with more traditional entertaining -type juggling. Of course, you have to put up with the odd heckle like, "Let's see you do that on a piano!".
