    You'll have no future with a rola bola. Get yourself a straitjacket. Or a 12 foot pole.

      I need the freakin table for my finale-
      right now my friend stands on a stack of folding chairs and juggles fire while I stand at the bottom - and do nothing- what we wanted to do was have me on the table on the rola bola- him on the chairs and pass fire- now aint that a finale....

      P.S. will I not have a future- because thats what you do - or will I really not have a future?

        I'm only half kidding about your future.

        Rola bolas are the new unicycle. Unicycle used to be impressive. Now it's par for the course. Rola bola has become the same thing. Too many people are doing it. Too many audiences have seen it. I can't tell you NOT to do it, but since you're just getting started and you haven't invested years and years into a routine, think about a possible alternative. You're young and creative. Try to think of something totally different that an audience hasn't ever seen before. Or something they may have seen before that you can do differently.

        It's your future.

        Jim

        P.S. You can't just buy a rola bola table. You need to build one. Creativity will come into play here, too.

          If you are going to do rola bola, then please do GOOD tricks on it:

          Handstands, both hands on the board and then lift your feet, 360 jumps. Just standing on it and juggling is really not enough because the bar has been raised.

          The sad thing about many people who want to be street performers is they see someone else and say "I can do that!" instead of, "He's doing that, so what can I do that's different?"

              No way that would be impossible.
              How much do you want to pay for a table slightly used?

                Jim and Etienne--how right you are! So many acts doing the same old tired identical schtick. I still see stuff that was being done fifty years ago, when I first started. With all the new technology and materials out there, surely we can come up with something new and dazzling? Give the audience, and your hat- a break.
