Beta Testing is a hotchpotch remix of juggling subculture and influences such as TED talks, The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and a fear of the haddock.
In what began life as a blog, set up after a late night conversation about circus, art and how to make the perfect pizza, Beta Testing looks at the intricacies and probability of juggling.
Sparks, Udry and Pang share theory, secrets and more than a few laughs as they take us through throwing, catching and dropping.
