Techniques for Catching Juggling Balls

Video Transcript

"So here's another fun way to get into a juggling routine is you can have somebody else throw you a juggling ball. And you can catch it and keep on juggling. Now this is a great trick to practice with a friend. If you are doing some stuff bouncing off the wall, that'll help you a little bit. But, we'll have (have) our friend do this one more time. Just a gentle toss in, and you can catch the ball and keep on juggling. So they're going to throw, the trick is to have them throw it to you kind of in an arc. You don't want it to, you don't want like a fast ball down the middle, you just want a nice gentle arc coming over. And I catch with my right hand because I'm predominately a right handed juggler. One more time, here it comes, nice gentle arc. And they're just throwing it to me like that. And that's a fun way, you can even have a little kid do that if you're doing a show. If you're performing somewhere you can have a kid or a member of the audience, don't pick somebody who is going to be difficult for you. But it's a fun way to add a little bit of variety. So, practice having somebody throw you a ball into a juggling pattern, and you can have some fun with it."
