Multiplex Juggling Trick Combinations

Video Transcript

"EMIL LAMPRECHT: I'm now going to show you some of the possibilities for Multiplex tricks, combinations and other such things. Now a basic 3-ball Multiplex is just this, very simple. All you have to do is stack two balls in one hand and throw them appropriately. The hard part for most people is getting their left hand or non-dominant hand to keep throwing. It's not as interesting if you stop and then throw the Multiplex. Keep your other hand throwing consistently to the point where it's empty, waiting for that ball. Three-ball multiplexes, unless they involve all three objects, are not very interesting in pattern. They usually just come like that and the timing issues, et cetera. But if you are advantageous, you can try all three in one hand using the stack. Now, because catching a stack like this is very difficult, you'll have to practice it a lot. But being able to do this can lead to a lot of interesting possibilities when working on four and five balls, something to consider. Now, combinations that can be done with Multiplexes include being able to transition into other tricks. This multiplex, for instance, looks pretty interesting going into side circles or coming out of side circles into columns. And this one--all of those tricks are tricks you know how to do, just put together in different ways. As you develop skills with three balls, you want to think about how you can combine tricks to create interesting effects and challenge your coordination. Being able to do this and manipulate three balls a number of different ways will make moving on to higher numbers and more advanced, especially blind tricks, much easier."
