Contact Juggling is the manipulation of balls, with a focus on keeping the ball in contact with your hands and body. The balls are often given the illusion of floating. It is often performed with acrylic balls, while practice can be done with lighter and less brittle vinyl stage balls.

Contact Juggling has been around for the last 30 years or so. While a lot of the moves used in Contact Juggling have been around much longer, Micheal Moschen turned it into what is today with a performance in the 80s called "Light". Since then, Contact Juggling has grown tremendously.

There are three main techniques:
Body Rolls, where one or more balls are rolled across the arms and body.

Palm Spinning, the manipulation of balls with an open hand, with up to 5 balls at a time.

Isolation, often the use of just one acrylic ball, where the hands of the performer are made to appear like they are moving around the ball while the ball itself is stationary.
