Partner Practice Techniques for Jugglers

Video Transcript

"Okay everybody, I'd like to share some more practice tips with you, mostly practicing with a partner. Now juggling with a partner is a great way to learn, it's a great way to have fun, it's even a great way to perform if you can work out an act with two of you. As it pertains to four balls, there are some exercises you can do, like, if you're juggling, you can throw one out to a partner, have them throw one back in to you later on. One really good way to get good at doing four balls is if you're practicing four balls and you drop one and you keep juggling three, you have them pick that up and throw it back in to you, and go back into the four ball pattern. If you can work out that kind of versatility, you'll be a really strong four ball juggler by that point, and it will really help you alter patterns on the fly. So those are some techniques that you can use to have a friend help you out. You can also do the idea I told you before of bouncing off a wall using four balls, if you can do it in the pattern, if you get that good, then that will help you. All this stuff is basically going to help you build your speed, your reflexes, your peripheral vision, your reaction time, which is all stuff that's going to come with time. And as you progress in juggling, you'll get better and faster, and you'll be able to juggle more and more numbers. So don't be afraid to have a friend help you out!"
