Jonathan Root of Team Rootberry teaching Justin Dixson a college student at Morningside College, in Sioux City, Iowa. How to juggle. Justin is blind! These are some of the methods that we used. Jonathan only had the opportunity to work with Justin for about 35 minutes. Hopefully Justin’s friends can help Justin to continue to improve.

I apologize for the quality of the video, I had to do a few transfers and did not retain the original quality of the video.

It was very rewarding, I wish I would of had more time to work with him.

You can watch the high quality version, it’s much clearer.

That’s awesome, if you had more time to work with him I think he would definitely have a 3 ball cascade down, amazing.

That was so cool that I had to wake up my wife and show her! You guys are the absolute best.
I don’t mean to sound like an ass but, what was a blind guy doing at a juggling show?

One thing I noticed with this was what i have encountered on the few times i have tried this. I am guessing that anyon ehtat has been blind for a long time, is VERY hesitant to have things leave contact with there body. So I made sure to have them practice just throwing up from one hand back into that same hand throwing higher and higher and getting more confident about this object actually coming back to them when it leaves.
23. January 2009 at 2:33 pm
That’s a great idea, I will pass it on to the people who are going to hopefully continue to work with justin.
23. January 2009 at 3:38 pm
That was awesome to watch and it just seemed like it was so rewarding for both of you. He sure seemed like he wanted to master this and was so willing to keep trying.
23. January 2009 at 4:44 pm
This is great, I hope he gets it!
23. January 2009 at 5:45 pm

that’s pretty cool! looks like Justin really enjoyed it.
I’ve been teaching my 92 yr old grandma how to juggle in an attempt to help keep her motor skills sharp. She can almost do a 3ball flash now.

hope he gets it, that would be amazing, i had trouble learning to juggle… with vision, that would take an amazing amount of dedication.
21. February 2010 at 5:53 pm
This is a really cool thing to do. You guys are awesome.

I’m sure he was enjoying it, just like sighted people do!
