just a little I've tried it with tennis
ba*ls and I could do it for about 2
minutes and then I mess up Same for me
but it'd be fun to learn how Maybe we'll
pick up some pointers from Chip Low when
he comes in I can juggle You can yep I'm
really good at it I'll show you after
the show Cool Strawing skewed Hey guys
where does an elephant sit when it goes
to the movies where i don't know
Anywhere it wants to
Cue the host and it's back to the circus
Our next song is about a baby elephant
and it's mommy and one incredibly lucky
kid songs kid who got to ride the
elephant And he didn't just ride it he
let the elephant lift him up with his
tusk for real no tricks So let's check
out mommy and baby elephant as they go
strolling through the park one day While
we're on the subject of elephants how
can you tell if one has been in your
refrigerator how by the footprint in
your pizza
[Music]
One day in the merry merry month of
May I was taken by surprise by a pair of
brokish eyes I was scared but I didn't
run away
He walked along so
[Music]
gently moving as graceful as can
[Music]
[Applause]
be His legs were like the trunks of
trees I hardly came up to his
knees He looked at me again and I didn't
regret He's just a little bigger than me
Happy baby
too About as old as me and
you Maybe soon one day we could all go
out and play and be friends with the
elven in the
park You walked along so
diling as graceful as can be
I thought I did a lot of things From the
ark to Colorado
Springs from his tail to his trunk From
the back up to the front The elephant is
so
astonishing This elephant is so
astonishing
The elephant is so astonishing
[Music]
I'd really like to know a bit more about
juggling for my intro to Chip Roll Let's
see In this book it says that in ancient
China they used to juggle big boxes with
their feet How did they do that and look
here's the picture of the Chinese circus
today Wow they still do it Wow that
means they've been doing it for
thousands of years And look in Fiji
warriors juggle fire Gosh this is
exciting Intro to Polly in 5 4 3 2 In
our next video the kids song kids get a
private juggling demonstration backstage
at the circus These clowns are really
good jugglers Which reminds me right
after this clip we'll be bringing out
Chip Lola who will dazzle us with his
juggling
skills Oh I went down south for to see

We are pleased that today's guest Chip
LOL is going to give us a juggling
lesson right here in the studio right
now on Question Time with Janet Bates
Thank you Christian Thank you Alexander
Let's welcome juggler extraordinaire
Chip Roll Good morning Chip Hey good
morning Janet How you doing how are good
how are you pretty good And you good
Good Is it true that you were born in
the circus yep That's the truth I was
born in the circus and I stayed with
circuses till I was about oh 15 16 years
old Did your parents work for the circus
uh absolutely My dad was a clown and my
mom was an aerialist up on the trapeze
and things and she also did an act that
uh she hung by her teeth How old were
you when you performed let's see The
first time I performed was about 6 years
old and my job was to do this and just
point to people as they did tricks cuz I
couldn't do any tricks at that time And
then when I was about 10 years old I
started clowning and also doing some
juggling Do you enjoy being a juggler
yeah it's a lot of fun You get to uh
juggle all types of things Uh it's sort
of a
challenge like uh like the juggling
clubs
[Music]
Just a
minute I think that's for you
No it's not Wrong number
What advice do you have for the kids
that want to be jugglers well number one
lots of practice Lots of practice And
then when you think you you've done
enough more practice because even I will
drop every so often What other things
can you juggle well you can pretty much
juggle anything you know not only ba*ls
or clubs uh things you may find around
the house Uh one of my favorite things
to juggle is a
hat what we call hat
manipulations Lot of creative things
that you can do
[Music]
Thank you Can you teach me how to juggle
sure You know one of the easiest ways to
start out is with juggling scarves So if
you want to start out with these it's a
lot easier to find the juggling pattern
Throwing one up this way one up this way
and then when they fall down you catch
them in your hands One two catch catch
See why don't you give it a try with one
throw it up in the air and back down You
see how much time you have i tell you
what we're going to go right on to two
Why don't you throw them up one two
catch catch That's it One two catch
catch Wow that's great I did it Yeah And
one of the neat things you can do then
is go on to three And that's where the
juggling pattern starts really showing
up Sort of a figure eight
pattern And if you don't have scars at
home you can certainly use rolled up
socks cuz they won't uh bounce or roll
away from you Practice right over your
bed so you don't have to bend over and
hurt your back But that's probably one
of the easiest ways to learn Can you do
something else for us sure Uh you know
what why don't you hold on to those four
boxes for me okay I'll take these
[Music]
boxes All righty Okay your turn No
you're doing great Let me put this one
up here on top All righty Let me
straighten them out just a little bit
Your job Janet is to very carefully hand
me those boxes
Okay great Thank you very much We'll put
this one up here Just like that Next box
if you would please Wonderful There we
go All right box number 12 Thank you
This is 13 I'm kidding You're doing
great All right here we go Last and
final
box Very carefully if you would please
All righty Thank you Jana Take a
bow Very good Here we go The balance on
the chin Watch close
[Music]
Hey there we are Oh thank you Thank you
Thank you very much It's been fun It's
been a lot of fun and a pleasure And a
pleasure
Okay g*ng Let's
practice I think we better keep working
on this
Hm Not quite as easy as it looks You can
say that again Well I won't Maybe this
next song will inspire us to stick with
it till we're good at it Is it you know
