This is an outline of the most popular forms of juggling as practiced by amateur, non-performing, hobby jugglers. This list is based on the current trends in the Western world (Europe and North America) for ball, club and ring juggling, and is not exhaustive. Jugglers do not consciously isolate their juggling into one of these categories; most jugglers will practice two or more forms, blurring the lines between them. Many Western jugglers also practice other forms of object manipulation, such as diabolo, devil sticks, cigar box manipulation, fire-spinning, contact juggling, hat manipulation, sleight of hand tricks, poi, staff-spinning, balancing tricks, bar flair and general circus skills.
Some forms are commonly mixed, like Numbers and Patterns with balls. Others are rarely mixed, like Contact Numbers Passing.
