ND Juggling Kenton Cup

Developed by Niels Duinker with feedback from legendary shaker-cup jugglers Freddy Kenton, John McPeak and Daniel Holzman, the ND Juggling Kenton Cup brings generations of expertise into a modern juggling cup.

Since 2011, Niels has refined its cone shape, nesting depth, weight and weight distribution to deliver reliable separation and controlled handling. Whether you’re learning your first three-cup tricks or tackling larger numbers, the ND Juggling Kenton Cup is designed to support your progress.

Reliable splits

Carefully refined geometry helps stacks separate cleanly when thrown. Daniel Holzman, whose eight-cup achievement appeared in the Guinness Book of Records, tested the samples and praised the clean separation.

Comfortable grip

The tapered shape lets you hold the cup higher or lower to suit your hand size.

Even balance

Developed for controlled throws, catches and combinations.

Softer sound

A polycarbonate body and soft plastic bumper reduce the harsh clang of metal cups while retaining a satisfying sound for performance.

Accessible and versatile

During Niels’ private coaching sessions, many jugglers have learned to throw and catch four cups in one hand within ten minutes.

Niels became the first juggler to throw and catch 14 shaker cups, earning a Guinness World Record, and has come close to landing 16. The Kenton Cup follows his record-setting cup’s shape, with dimensions adapted for average-sized hands.

Named after Niels’ mentor Freddy Kenton—the first juggler in Europe to perform with eight cups—the Kenton Cup builds on a tradition inspired by Rudy Cardenas. Freddy passed his knowledge to Niels and Claudius Specht, while ten-cup Guinness World Record holder John McPeak shared insights from developing his own cups.

Combining this heritage with his mechanical engineering background, Niels developed a cup to help you reach your own next achievement.
