Jest Stix Juggling...

We were very fortunate to have had Issac Girarden (Jest Stix Instructor / Children’s and Youth Programs)from Brandon come to our school last Tuesday. Issac has been performing and teaching juggling with Jest Stixs for the past 5 years. He informed us that Gyroscopic juggling, also known as stick juggling, is one of the oldest art forms and toys in the world. It is known to have originated independently in both Egypt and China between four and five thousand years ago.Taking inspiration from his own large collection of sticks, Issac has developed a design of Jest Stix with exceptional playability for both amateurs and pros. You may have even seen the order form that went home last week. Check out his video of a performance at the Brandon Folk festival (do not try this at home, Issac is a trained professional) and our own slide show of our class Jest Stixing it!
