BUYING STUFF
Dube: This is some top-of-the-line juggling equipment. Airflite clubs and rings are a good bet for the economical (i.e. cheap) juggler, and the custom clubs and torches have a wonderful feel. Kind of like velvet, topped in pretty, shiny mylar.
Infinite Illusions: Juggling props, fire toys, yo-yos, stuff you wouldn't let your kids play with in the house. It also includes tutorials on yo-yo, devilsticks, and juggling. You have to click on the kid to get in.

of fire toys and supplies including fire poi, fire
whips, fire staff, kevlar wick, and 'make your own' toolkits.
Renegade:
Quality props and great juggling toys, books, videos, everything.
Oh, yeah, and some spiffy t-shirts. Discounts on bulk orders, and
a great deal on scarves. Scarves are good for teaching beginners
(especially kids) or tying up your hair (as my students have taught me).
Semcycle: The ultimate in unicycles, a company run by long-time unicyclists Teresa and Sem. They also sell juggling stuff. Also in the unicycle business is www.unicycle.com.
