How to Juggle Splits with 4 Balls

Video Transcript

"EMIL LAMPRECHT: The next trick I'm going to show you is called "splits." Now, this is something that comes from having practiced columns. It is very important to get good at columns before you do this, especially good at switching columns like so. Now, "splits" is literally splitting the pattern in half. What you're going to be doing is throwing two balls on one side, switching, and throwing two balls on this side. The best way to get into this is, is from a columns pattern like so, and then to throw them in the sides like that. For some performers, this is a favorite for a club trick, but it is much easier to learn the club version if you can get the ball version down. It takes a lot of practice and I personally still have trouble with this trick, but it is vey effective and very visual. Eventually, if you want to get really fancy and can control the splits very well, you could even cross them on each side so you're holding two separate crossing patterns. Good luck."
