How to Throw Side Swaps in Juggling

"EMIL LAMPRECHT: The next trick I want to show you has very complicated side swap but it's hard to teach you any other way"(6 x 4) (4 2x)." The trick looks like this. Now, there's a couple elements in here that you can relate to other tricks. Your first sync throw is basically to establish stack coming down to one hand, so there's a four from this hand, just a short straight throw, and a high cascade style throw from this hand, so that they fall evenly downward into the same hand. After you've thrown those two throws, you're doing almost like a three-ball box to this side. So when put together, it looks like that. Now, you can do it continuously on one side. You can also, because it's a sync pattern, switch it right away. There is no transition throw. I suggest getting a couple down on each side very solid first and then trying the switching pattern once on each side and then twice on each side and always adding two instead of three. Good luck."
