I've seen Anthony throw 9 and 10 clubs in person. As far as I remember, he said he never successfully flashed either. Though he came super close to flashing 9 when I saw him. That would have been around 1990. I also don't think he ever seriously worked on it, but that's my own speculation.
Great video. Just one comment that I don't think people were harsh about Willy for the sloppiness, but more that he used a holster. I definitely think that records using holsters should be in a different category.
You got all the greats in this video I saw Anthony Gatto do 8 clubs live in Las Vegas festival for 12 catches in 1995.I went to his seminar. Bruce Tiemann was also working on 8 clubs at the time. Scott Sorenson had a good run with 7 clubs. Best I ever did was 7 catches with 7 Dube clubs. I did know Casey Boehmer really well he did 5 in one hand who knows what he could of done if he was born with 2 hands. Love your history of juggling!
Anthony mentions in one of his videos that he developed a 5 club grip when he was working on 9 clubs back in the day. It is in one of his club grip videos.
Actually, I was there the day Anthony juggled 9 clubs in this picture! After three minutes of him doing it, he yelled “take a picture, take a picture!!” I quickly laid on the floor and took the famous photo!
I attended a workshop led by Anthony and Nick Gatto at the IJA festival in 2003. Later, I was active on his juggling forums, and I saw him perform in CdS in 2011. He said that he attempted 9 clubs. However, I think what is more important is how the 8 club world record first happened. This was mid to late 2000s and no one had ever qualified 8 clubs. He mentioned on his juggling forum that he could juggle 8 clubs. People on there said, "yeah right! If you could juggle 8 clubs there would be a video of it." He said, "OK." And the next day he uploaded a video of 8 club fountain in a qualify that he did 3 times in one practice. Also, I remember hearing that he performed an 8 torch flash at a New Years Eve show in Branson in 2002 or 2003.
Nice video! Looking forward to seeing someone quality with nine clubs! Think the IJA would accept it if done switch the clubs shown at 2:27? Btw Anyone one where to get the clubs shown in frame 2:27!?
I have thrown 9 in the air maybe 200 times. The flash video shown here was my first 9 club session in years and it took about 20 attempts. I would say my 20 years of juggling foundation were vastly more important than the actual time hammering away at 9 clubs. If I thought it would take 5000 tries, I wouldn't have bothered trying; I would have accepted that I wasn't ready.
