Peut-on faire du stacking massif à 9 boîtes ?

Non, sa forme ergonomique incurvée est optimisée pour la manipulation (3-4 boîtes). Pour un empilement à 9 boîtes, un design plus droit est nécessaire.

Quels sont les matériaux de la boîte Moreira ?

Corps en polyéthylène haute qualité soudé par ultrasons et embouts en silicone souple antidérapant.

Comment entretenir le silicone ?

Un simple chiffon humide suffit à retirer la poussière et restaurer l'adhérence initiale.

Pourquoi la forme est-elle incurvée ?

Il s'agit d'un design ergonomique visant à réduire la fatigue musculaire et à faciliter les rattrapages, même pour les petites mains.

ND Juggling Cigar Box – Moreira Model

Item sold individually (the price shown is for one box ). Please note that our photos may sometimes show multiple boxes for demonstration purposes, as the discipline requires several boxes to be practiced.

The result of a collaboration between ND Juggling , Albert Lucas Moreira , and Niels Duinker , this box embodies a new generation of juggling cigar boxes. The Moreira model combines tradition, innovation, and engineering to offer equipment accessible to ambitious beginners while meeting the demands of professionals.

Inspired by decades of experience, this box completely redefines the standards of box juggling. Made of high-quality polyethylene with soft silicone tips , it combines robustness, comfort, and controlled lightness. Its ergonomic shape was developed according to engineering principles to accommodate a wide variety of hand sizes, while minimizing muscle fatigue during long training sessions.

The boxes are easy to grip , even for small hands or children, making learning smoother and more intuitive. Thanks to their optimized shape and non-slip surface , they offer excellent control over slides and bounces. Each box is discreetly marked with the ND Juggling and MOREIRA logos, guaranteeing a quality product resulting from the collaborative work of enthusiasts and experts.

NetJuggler's review

Historical Heritage and Engineering

Cigar box juggling has a rich tradition, from Cinquevalli and Salerno to W.C. Fields, who was a true master of the art. However, traditional methods had their limitations…

Albert Moreira , founder of the renowned Los Gatos Trio and mentor to his son Albert Lucas Moreira , always admired the discipline but criticized the impractical square shape of older boxes. Through discussions with renowned artists such as Bela Kremo and Francis Brunn, he accumulated valuable insights which he passed on to his son, known for his famous "Albert Throws" and organizer of the Lucas Cup within the IJA.

With the participation of Niels Duinker – an engineer by training and creator of numerous juggling accessories such as Bottle Clubs and the Cuphead 2.0 – and Will Oltman for the engineering side, this project came to fruition: a redesigned, modernized, and optimized cigar box. The Moreira box is the culmination of this vision: a tool for modern jugglers, combining ergonomics, aesthetics, and robustness.

Learning and Video Tutorials

Here's a beginner-level tutorial on cigar boxes by Niels Duinker. The tutorial is in English, but the pictures speak for themselves!

Niels Duinker offers an introduction to cigar box juggling. He begins by explaining the importance of posture, emphasizing keeping the back straight and coordinating arm, leg, and back movements for fluid motion. The tutorial uses three classic boxes, and the first trick covered is the "180° spin," which involves rotating one outer box while keeping the other two in place. He guides the viewer step by step through the movements, demonstrating the precise gestures to adopt.

The rest of the video introduces other fundamental moves such as the "takeout," where the middle box is removed while all three are in the air, and the "tumble over," a takeout variation where one box rotates as it falls. Niels compares some of the sequences to three-ball juggling to make them easier to understand. He encourages viewers to practice regularly to improve.

Important information about stacking boxes

This box is not designed for box stacking; its shape is not suitable for this practice. ND boxes are optimized for handling 3 and 4 boxes, with a unique shape focused on hand comfort and control during juggling. The ergonomic curved shape works very well for this (also for people with small hands, such as children and many women). For stacking tricks, especially with a large number of boxes, a straighter, more rigid design is necessary to keep the stack stable and prevent wobbling. For stacking, consider Henrys boxes instead.

Technical FAQ: Moreira Expertise

Why does the Moreira box favor manipulation over stacking?

This is a deliberate engineering choice by Niels Duinker. As with golf clubs, each tool is optimized for a specific use. The ergonomic curve of the Moreira reduces pressure points on the palm and facilitates recovery during dynamic shots (Albert Throws, Flips). However, this same curve prevents the corners from fitting together perfectly for a stack of nine boxes. For pure stacking, comfort must be sacrificed in favor of perfectly straight and rigid lines.

How robust is the injected structure?

Injected polyethylene offers exceptional durability. Unlike wood, which can split or vary in weight depending on humidity, plastic injection guarantees a standardized weight of 225g per unit. Ultrasonic welding fuses the walls together completely. The body also features a slight texture in the plastic: this ensures consistent grip even with sweaty hands during long training sessions.

How do I care for silicone tips?

The silicone parts are the core of this box's grip. They are not designed to be replaced as they are integrated during manufacturing. No chemicals are needed for maintenance. If you notice a loss of grip due to dust, simply wipe the silicone with a damp cloth. This is the major advantage of the Moreira box compared to traditional felt pads that wore out and peeled off.

Why choose a two-tone model?

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the contrasting colors (e.g., red/white) serve as a technical visual cue. It helps the juggler instantly gauge the speed and direction of the box's rotation in space. In a performance setting, this also significantly improves audience visibility during fast-paced tricks like the "180° spin" or the "tumble over."

Is it suitable for children?

Absolutely. It's one of the few professional models whose ergonomics have been designed to avoid tiring small hands. Its light weight of 225g and non-slip surface make learning intuitive, avoiding the frustration associated with the overly large or heavy boxes of previous generations.
