Juggling while balancing another prop requires the juggler to have control over both the juggling and the balancing. To learn to juggle with a balance, first you should learn to do the juggling and the balancing separately, so that you can do each one with complete control, with as little movement as possible other than what you need to do to juggle (not moving your feet, or leaning or twisting your body - balancing an object on your face doesn't require much movement), before you try to combine them. Then re-learn the juggling with the balance. When you juggle while balancing, you should focus mostly on the balance.

Clubs can be balanced on the chin, nose, or forehead. Rings and balls are usually balanced on the forehead. Some types of balls are easier to balance than others. Head bouncing a ball is a more difficult skill similar to balancing.
