How to Juggle

The basics of an age-old hobby.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• three tennis ball-size balls, space to drop them

1. Start with one ball in one hand. Practice throwing it to the opposite hand (and catching it) so that it curves at eye level.
2. When step one comes with little effort, add another ball. Put one ball in each hand. Throw the ball from the right hand so that it curves just in front of your face.
3. Throw the ball from the left hand just before catching the ball that is in the air. Repeat 2 and 3, switching hands.
4. When 2 and 3 come with little effort, add a third ball. Hold 2 balls in the right hand and one in the left.
5. Toss one of the balls from your right hand. Toss the ball from your left hand just before catching the ball that is in the air.
6. Toss the other ball from your right hand just before catching the ball that is in the air.
7. Repeat 5 and 6 until one falls or you get tired.

Tips & Warnings

• Try practicing with handkerchief first.
• Everyone drops the balls. Don't get discouraged.
