Acrobatic materials

Acrobatics is a general term for various difficult performance forms, including throwing skills, balance skills, aerial skills, jumping skills, body softening skills and so on. Traditional acrobatic performances are often a combination of acrobatics, martial arts, magic and circus (animal training). Today's acrobatic performances are often performed together with magic and circus performances.

The objects manipulated by juggling performances are called props, in which circus techniques use bell pulling, devil sticks, cigar box manipulation, fire swallowing and contact techniques. This variety show will also use balance props such as swing boards, folding stool, balance bars, stilts and unicycle, which will increase the difficulty of the performance. In the west, acrobatic performances are purely controlled by props, while in the east, acrobatic performances are occasionally included in the acrobatic category, including turning the pen, standing on the dice, non-magic card stunts and so on.

The most well-known type of juggling is throwing, that is, juggling in which many objects are thrown into the air continuously. In throwing, the most common props are special balls, sandbags, rings, sticks, hats or marbles. Some performers also use dangerous goods, such as chain saws, flying knives and torches.

In English, the word "juggling" of object manipulation comes from the middle English word "jogelen", that is, to entertain the audience with tricks; The word comes from "jongleur" in French, "jogler" in old French, "ioculr" and "iocus" in Latin.
