This book is the English translation of the museum catalog of the 1929 exhibition on juggling, which took place at the world's first Museum of the Circus and Variety Arts in Leningrad (now St-Petersburg). In this catalog, you will read about juggling legends like Mickael Pashchenko, Enrico Rastelli, the Schaeffer family, 2 Asra, and many others. As an appendix to this English edition, there are photo additions of never before published images from the Juggling Archive Karl-Heinz Ziethen in Berlin. Leningrad, 1929 "Establishing the world's first Museum of the Circus and Variety Arts is just one step along the road of Cultural Revolution to preserve the history. The other goal is to improve the skills and knowledge of those in the entertainment industry, especially the circus and variety performers. The Museum is not a portrait gallery. It is a foundation that allows performers to study their craft and will enable visitors to learn about the circus and the different genres throughout history. Two exhibitions already have taken place this year. A third exhibition that just opened and to which this catalog is dedicated is entitled "The Art of the Juggler."

Aerobie® Superdisc™
Superdisc DiagramPlayers of all skill levels can throw the Aerobie Superdisc well and enjoy its stable, accurate flights. Its patented spoiler rim and soft rubber edge were developed when inventor Alan Adler set out to design an improved "Frisbee." Conventional flying discs have their center of aerodynamic lift near the disc's leading edge in flight. That's why they tend to roll to the right for right handed throws and to the left for left handed throws. By contrast, the Superdisc's breakthrough spoiler rim centers the disc's aerodynamic lift throughout each flight, making the Superdisc a more stable flyer for throwers of all skill levels.
The Superdisc's soft, rubber edge provides a great grip for strong throws and remains smooth to catch even after landing on pavement. Conventional discs often develop sharp scratches and burrs. Made from non-toxic materials, the Superdisc's soft edge is also kind to a dog's mouth, making it the disc of choice for many professional dog disc entertainers. Floats in water. Size: 10 inch diameter. Ages 8 and up. Quality made in the U.S.A.
If you like the Superdisc and you'd like to try a larger model, check out the Aerobie Superdisc Ultra. For an entirely flexible disc with the same design as the Superdisc, try the Aerobie Squidgie disc.

Deadeyes are Aroundsquare’s first entry into the world of currency manipulation, and they’ve put a lot of time and effort into the refinement of this design, and the development of possibilities surrounding it. The delrin version of the deadeyes is primarily intended as a lightweight worry stone. While it is possible to manipulate them and perform “contact coin” style tricks, as with the metal Deadeyes, the lightweight delrin material makes such manipulations harder to execute smoothly. That said, the shape is the same as the original metal coins, with the same ergonomic indent on either side, making them an excellent fidget toy that won’t weigh down the pockets.
The Delrin Deadeyes are currently available only in the larger 37mm diameter size. They weigh in at 7.5g per piece.

The Everyman series, is Aroundsquare's most refined begleri design to date. The design of the beads is simple, intentionally "average".. hence the Everyman name. It borrows some of the best elements of both the Titans and the Hydras and integrates them in a fresh shape. It's bigger than one and smaller than the other. It's nothing bizarre. It's just normal. It's average. It's the Everyman.
The Everyman bead design updates the shape of the conventional "Standard Issue" Greek begleri for modern technical begleri play. The sloping top of the beads helps prevent the string from jamming up during rolls, like the rounded tops of the Titans. Like the Hydras, it features straight angles which help with grip and bead control, as well as a compact size which makes the beads nimble during play. While the beads are relatively small, at 17mm by 17mm, they feel substantial in the hand due to the angles and carry good weight.

AO2's Knucklebone is the original hardbody knuckle roller. This is a simple skill toy that is manipulated with the fingers of one or both hands to perform tricks and patterns, or simply to pass the time.It is very discrete (unless dropped) and can be played in very restricted spaces, and in contexts where other showier skill toys may not be appropriate. There are a handful of tutorials already available online at the AO2 YouTube channel, and we are adding more to the playlist on a steady schedule.
The titanium version of the knucklebone is the jack of all trades. It is heavy enough to provide the momentum needed to reliably perform momentum-based tricks (think thumb rolls and sonics), while still being light enough to manipulate smoothly between two hands without exhausting the fingers too much. The titanium model has a sand-blasted finish that provides just the right amount of grip, while also helping to mitigate the stickiness that is sometimes felt when playing in humid climates or with damp hands. The titanium model is laser etched with the word "a r o u n d s q u a r e" around the equator. Over time, the sand blasted texture will tend to smooth out, giving way to a hand-polished finish which retains the same playability, but with a smoother and warmer feel. The natty version will tend to darken slightly as it gains a patina from contact with the skin.
Although the titanium model is lighter than the stainless steel and brass, it will still make a loud noise when it is dropped on hard surfaces, and has the potential to break things in its path. Be careful with it. The titanium very durable but will still show scratches and dings on the drop portions (see photo for reference).. it falls with weight, so it hits concrete hard.
Note from the designer: I developed the original knucklebone circa 1989 when I was a kid in school. The crude original version was made from some kind of polymer clay (see photo). The new version is better suited to bigger hands, and has been designed for smoother flow and better trick potential.
WARNING: Metal versions are heavy and solid--can break things or hurt things if dropped. It is recommended that you play over carpet, couch, or the like, or outside. Delrin versions look almost tasty, so keep them away from young kids, and don't let anyone try to ingest them.

Warning: The acrylic “Ice Bones” tend to attract the interest of children, but they present a choking hazard, so keep them away from children under 10.
About the Acrylic “Ice” Knucklebones
The clear acrylic “Ice Bones” are lightweight, and have a smooth, glossy finish that provides good grip during play. The combination of weight and grip makes them less prone to drops, and is also excellent for many advanced moves that involve manipulating the kbone from one of the ends. Players accustomed to the momentum and gravity effect of the heavier metal versions may take some time to adjust to this style of play, but those interested in tricks and technical play will find this version extremely flexible and entertaining.
The Ice Bones are quite striking visually. They are fully transparent, and refract light in very interesting ways due to their curvatures, allowing for some stunning photography possibilities. The coloured versions are dyed with excellent colour saturation.

Aroundsquare's stainless steel Knucklebones are a pocket-friendly skill toy that can be manipulated to perform tricks or just pass the time. The surface is machine-finished with a light polish, and although stainless steel is not as tacky as brass or copper, the finish nonetheless provides a sufficient grip to prevent it from slipping out of the fingers. Playing the heavy metal versions can be good exercise for the fingers, and the momentum can be an advantage for learning certain tricks. The metal kbones are laser-etched with the word "a r o u n d s q u a r e" around the equator to mark their authenticity.
The weight and hard material mean it will make a loud noise when it is dropped on hard surfaces, and has the potential to break things in its path. Be careful with it. The brass is relatively soft, and will still show scratches and dings on the drop portions.. it falls with weight, so it hits concrete hard.
The 90% size "Mini" size gives a level of performance comparable to the original kbone size, with slightly less bulk. The 80% size "Micro" is still technically capable of all the same tricks, but for seasoned players, the size will feel very small and will encourage a different style of play that is less dependent on momentum.
Knucklebone Micro (roughly 80% of original dimensions) weight 38.9g.
Knucklebone Mini (roughly 90% of original dimensions) weight 56.0g.

Knucklebone Smalls - Titanium
Aroundsquare knucklebones are a pocket-friendly skill toy that can be manipulated to perform tricks, or just pass the time. With the original kbones, we sparked a whole new category of skill toys, but make no mistake, the knucklebones are the original hardbody knuckle rollers. The kbone "smalls" are a downsized version of the originals, packing high performance and high-end materials into an even smaller, more pocket-friendly unit. The kbone smalls are available in a variety of metals, but all are laser etched with our AO2 logo, as a stamp of authenticity.
Details on the titanium smalls:
- Knucklebone Micro: 22.0g (roughly 80% of original dimensions)
- Knucklebone Mini: 31.4g (roughly 90% of original dimension)
- Grade 5 titanium
- Sandblasted surface (will smooth out to a darker, more tumbled appearance with use)
- Laser etched with the the AO2 logo to certify authenticity
Warnings: Metal versions are heavy and solid--can break things or hurt things if dropped. It is recommended that you play over carpet, couch, or the like, or outside. Also, they are theoretically ingestible, so keep them away from young kids.

The wood version of our Knucklebones are among the lightest we've created to date, and have already become a favourite among top players. While the wooden kbones have the same size and shape as the originals, the lighter weight, combined with the wood grain texture, open up new possibilities for manipulation, using the round end knobs to manipulate, pivot, and stall the kbones during play. Players accustomed to the momentum and gravity effect of the heavier metal versions may take some time to adjust to this style of play, but those interested in tricks and technical play will find this version extremely flexible and entertaining.

Aroundsquare's Micro Boss begleri series is a "back to the roots" design that resembles traditional Greek begleri more than anything else we have produced to date. The pairs of small spherical beads are a throwback to the worry beads of an earlier era, before players started getting too technical. The multi-bead design, with the bottom-heavy metal pairings makes these sets soft and springy to play, with great overall weighting. These sets feel heavier than the specified weight due to the bottom weighting of the design.
These sets play very well, and players will find that most of their tricks translate well to the design, but the goal was to create a series with a traditional vibe that supports a more laid back playing style--a departure from the small, nimble sets used for highly technical play.

Aroundsquare's Hydra Begleri are a fun yet highly capable modern adaptation of the traditional Greek multi-bead begleri. All of the Hydra sets have multiple interchangeable beads, allowing for interesting combinations and customization of weight and materials. Mix and match the Mini Hydras with some of your traditional Hydras and Micro-Hydras, for your own unique setup.
Weight: 8.7g per end

The Titan begleri from Aroundsquare are dome topped, with a rounded bottom, and a straight, knurled barrel for excellent control and extremely smooth play. The Mini Titans feature the same design, shrunk down to a 16mm diameter (compared to the original 19mm for the titanium Titans, and 20mm for the aluminum version). The beads weigh in at around 9.7g each (compared to around 17g for the originals). With this bead design, the weight is enough to make them feel solid and substantial, but without any stress or strain on the fingers, even after hours of play.
