This page is kind of turning into a "Where-do-I-buy-one/What-kind-should-I-buy/Prop-review" page.

  • Clubs: "As God is my witness, I'll never pass Airflights again!" - Scarlett O'Hara
    • http://www.renegadejuggling.com - Renegades baby. Why oh why did I wait so long! These are the best clubs I've ever passed. When I ordered mine (after long internal debate regarding the substantial investiture in three high-quality clubs), the guy from Renengade Juggling was really helpful. You see, there are a lot of choices to be made when buying Renengades. Color, weight, taped handles or not, foil patterns, etc. Now before you go and buy some wacko ultra-heavy, solid granite, teflon-handled, inverted-mobius proto-club think about what you are going to do with them. Honestly, I bought mine for passing with others, which means buying "the standard" i.e. 95mm (bulb width). Outside of that, go crazy! The color selection is complete and decorating options are plentiful. I chose "hardbody" (at no extra cost) which is a harder plastic and seems to be holding up really well.

  • CigarBoxes: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. Then give up. There's no use being a damned fool about it." - W.C. Fields
    • http://www.infiniteillusions.com - These boxes are nice if you don't mind a little larger box. They are thicker (from front to back) than any others I've used, but are more sturdy. Made from solid wood (not ply), all the joints are dovetailed.
    • http://www.dube.com - I had some of Dube's wooden boxes for years. Eventually, the ends were so crushed, they were pretty unusable. But, they do make plastic ones that I would like to try someday. Problem is, the one-piece plastics are almost as much $$$ as the wooden ones!

  • DevilSticks: "The Devil finds work for idle hands." - Proverb, 1721
    • http://www.dube.com - Their "Trigon" devil stick is my current favorite - long, thin, and just heavy enough. Probably not the best for the beginner (the devil stick itself is not rubberized). Also, their current handsticks are covered with some kind of space-age silicone that lasts forever.
    • http://www.toddsmith.com - Todd Smith sells a great devilstick covered with a kind of cloth tape. Great stepping stone prop (or beginner prop for that matter) from an easier, rubber coated or dipped devil stick. Also, this would, I think, be a good prop for "flower-stick" jugglers who want try something harder. Definitely not for performance (looks pretty lousy). Also, whatever cloth tape I had on mine degraded after several years (the adhesive started to slag). But by the time that happens, you'd be ready for a nicer, shiny, mylar-covered stick anyway!

  • YoYo: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
    • http://www.extremespin.com - After meeting Brian Trump at Hugo, I took his recommendation and went here for my yo-yo needs. I just got an order from these guys and they are great. Super-fast delivery and when I noted on my order that I wanted blue yo-yos (instead of red like in the picture) they were right on the money. NOTE -They do not carry Came-Yo brand yo-yos. I was looking for an injection Mondial and will have to find it somewhere else.
    • http://www.infiniteillusions.com - I met this guy at Groundhog's Day 2000. While they have many juggling props, I think their focus is yo-yos now. I bought some strings and parts from here once. While the shipping took longer than expected, the order was complete.
