Speevers<br />

the fun of Juggling and Innovations<br />

It all started with a pair of socks ... A<br />

few years ago travelling in Thailand<br />

and like many others I discovered the<br />

art of Poi. I‘m the type who always<br />

pushes things bit further, so I thought<br />

it would be interesting to add another<br />

ball to the Poi on the opposing side.<br />

I returned home, bought two pairs<br />

of childrens’ socks and sewed them<br />

together: the first ever double Poi<br />

was born and later earned the name<br />

„Speevers“.<br />

During experimenting and trying to<br />

sell my new products, I left the High-<br />

Tech world behind and found myself<br />

more and more in the Jugglers world.<br />

I started to wander around juggling<br />

conventions, got to know some<br />

amazing performers and made new<br />

friends. With the food came the appetite.<br />

I developed a couple of products<br />

and afew months later found myself<br />

travelling around Europe in a hired<br />

car, packed full of juggling products,<br />

going from shop to shop, from festival<br />

to party, bathing in lakes and sleeping<br />

in tents or on peoples sofas. So began<br />

my company „Speevers“.<br />

The World‘s first Live Juggling <strong>Shop</strong><br />

The best thing about Juggling is the<br />

interaction with people. Two years<br />

ago I opened a huge, fun house in<br />

Yafo Israel. Eat your heart out – I also<br />

live there! Here we have juggling gatherings,<br />

workshops and sell products<br />

and equipment. Artists from all over<br />

the world have been hosted here, but<br />

lately I thought that it would be nice<br />

to open the door to everyone, even<br />

if you are based overseas! With the<br />

help of technology and the internet<br />

we created the Speevers Live Juggling<br />

<strong>Shop</strong>. With one click of a button you<br />

can have interactive video discussions<br />

with our jugglers, ask questions and<br />

see demonstrations of products and<br />

feel as close as possible. All you need<br />

is a browser and a microphone.<br />

LSD or LED? The optic-fibre trip<br />

I‘ve never taken these types of substances<br />

before, but one night when<br />

I sat in a dark room programming a<br />

Stardass psychedelic light series I think<br />

I understood what Dr. Hoffman spoke<br />

about. All night long the optical reasons<br />

whistled through the air while<br />

colouring the sky with crazy effects.<br />

There are no trips like the fun of<br />

inventing and developing new products<br />

and concepts!<br />

The magic of fire<br />

It took me a long time, but the<br />

moment I started with fire I was<br />

„burnt“. Fire has power and passion<br />

equal to nothing else. After a long<br />

search, I found special fire-proof fabrics.<br />

With these fabrics we managed<br />

to create fire tools that enabled tricks<br />

and moves that until today weren‘t<br />

possible, with higher safety levels. In<br />

addition, believe it or not, we developed<br />

a line of fashion clothing that is<br />

fire-resistant and wonderfully comfortable.<br />

The clothes look and feel like<br />

the clothes you are wearing now, they<br />

clean easily and hardly retain odour.<br />

On visits to the Far East I discovered<br />

the Meteor and Rope Dart. They are<br />

both ancient and amazing instru-<br />

The amazing stardass with<br />

fibre optic tails! Make psychedelic<br />

fractal patterns that<br />

will amaze!
