Juggling 3 Balls: Review of Techniques

Video Transcript

"In this series we've been learning how to juggle three balls. We started with just a single ball, learning the timing and the height pattern that we need to make to throw a three ball pattern. So in this the throws go from your hand to the corner of a box immediately over your other hand, you catch on the outside, bring it back to the box and again. Then we added the second ball and tried the same thing. In this the pattern is throw, throw, catch, catch. We want to try and keep it right on rhythm, throw, throw, catch, catch. We practiced doing this both ways and cleaning this up a lot. We add the third ball, and the pattern here will just be solid throws. It should be throw, throw, throw, throw, they should try and really be close to the same rhythm so that you make throws on beat every time. Throw, throw, throw, throw, and this is our three ball cascade pattern. So the first tricks we went over is over the top, like this, taking one throw from the outside and throwing it over, doing that with both hands, going into what's called juggler's tennis, like this, where one ball is continuously crossing over the top of the others. We also talked about the reverse cascade, where every ball is crossing over the ball in front of it. We also went over Mill's mess, which is one of the most famous juggling tricks and a one that a lot of people try to learn early, which looks something like this. Next we'll be moving on to some more advanced ball tricks."
