The Torofluxus was invented in the early 1990s by Jochen Valett. A thirty foot long ribbon of fine "flat spring steel" is woven into a torus and the ends spot welded.

Juggling instructions in slow-motion: Before you start throwing balls, cross your arms with the right hand on top. Now move your arms so that the left hand is on top. Then move back to right on top. Continue this for a while to get the feel of what your arms will be doing. This way when you start throwing balls, you'll have one less thing to think about. (From ”Wildcat Jugglers”)
