The Engineering of the Manipulation Hat
The Tumbler is a technical juggling apparatus. Its shape has been specifically designed to be perfectly symmetrical, allowing for throws and catches without worrying about orientation. Its three-layer wool construction gives it a unique density, essential for hat spinning and isolations.
- Precision mass: Approximately 335g for stable inertia during bearings on the body.
- Balanced Shape: Round cap and rigid edges to facilitate various handling.
- Versatility: Recommended for solo work or juggling multiple hats.

NetJuggler's review
"The Tumbler is the go-to choice for this discipline. Pro tip: For handling, choose a size slightly larger than your actual head circumference. A wider hat is much easier to handle during fast-paced routines."
Professional Interview Guide
Felt is a fine material but sensitive to water. To preserve the rigidity of your equipment, regular maintenance is essential:
1. Cleaning and Storage
- Dusting: Use a soft brush in the direction of the felt fibers.
- Stains: Dab with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never rub the felt.
- Drying: In the open air, away from any direct heat source.
2. Odor Management
- Bicarbonate: Sprinkle inside, leave for 24 hours, then brush to remove residue.
- Light steam: Use a steam iron at a distance to refresh the felt without wetting it.
- Ventilation: Leave your hats to air flat in a dry place after each show.

Good morning,
Do you have any tips for making the hat stiffer?
Big problem: you need a size or two up... Unfortunately I'm a size 53. What should I do? I've looked on every possible site...
THANKS
It's indeed a big problem! :-) The smallest size we have is a 56. But it is the smallest size that exists.
Good morning,
I would like to know if it is advisable to take all the hats of the same size, or on the contrary to take them of increasing size to be able to stack them more easily on the head? Does juggling with hats of different sizes hinder juggling?
Thanks in advance.
Juggling with different sized hats has no effect on juggling. However, you can use hats of the same size; they are designed to stack even if they are different sizes.
What is the exact mass of this hat?
There is no exact weight for a hat; it's a handcrafted product. The hat weighs approximately 335 grams, but it varies depending on the size and each hat. It's made from three layers of felt, one on top of the other. It's almost impossible to deliberately obtain two hats of identical weight.
Do you have them in 54? If not, where can I get them?
They currently only exist in sizes 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 61. Knowing that ideally it is good to take larger than your head circumference because the hats will be easier to put on and take off when you are handling them.
How does it work for hat sizes?
You need to measure your head circumference. Ideally, you should use a tailor's tape measure. This is the head circumference in centimeters. Excellent question!
