How to Weave in Juggling

Weaving a ball between two other juggling balls looks tricky but with some practice you can soon learn how to do it. There are a lot of weaving variations to learn once you master the basic juggling trick. So grab three balls and learn how to weave.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Hold two balls in one hand. It's best to work with your dominant hand but as you get better, you can switch hands. For now, leave the other hand empty.

2. Throw one ball up into the air about three or four feet. As soon as it reaches its highest point, throw the second ball into the air. As it reaches its highest ball the first ball should be back in your hand. Toss it the air again.

3. Repeat Step 2 until you are comfortable doing it. Switch to your other hand. If you are doing Step 2 correctly, you should be able to imagine a "V" pattern with your hand being the lowest part of the "V."

4. Place the third ball in the other hand. Get the two balls going in the air side by side like you did in Step 2. Now begin to work the opposite hand. While still holding the ball, weave it through the "V" pattern. Weaving the ball over the inside ball and under the outside ball completes the weave.

5. Take the ball in a horizontal weaving motion. Then for variety, try a figure 8 move. Once you master the trick in one hand, learn it with the other hand as well.

6. Practice other varieties of weaving the juggling balls. You can come up with all kinds of your own patterns.
