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!
