"In this video I'm going to be talking about the chin roll. Now this is a medium to hard three club juggling trick. Before you really do it, you need to be pretty good at balancing a club on your chin. Remember, that's this. You really don't need to be able to do that forever to do this trick, you just need to be able to place it there, and concentrate on it, and hold it there for just a second before you knock it down. Just to give you an idea of what it looks like, these are chin rolls; something like that. So if you just do one, like that. What I'm actually doing is I'm taking, and instead of throwing from my right hand, I set the club on my chin, then catch it from my chin with my left hand. So that's just replacing a throw like that; I go like this. So what you're going to want to do is practice the the grab and the set. You're going to grab the club towards the end of it, set it on your chin, with a little bit of momentum to the side, and then; follow it over to the far side just like that. You're going to want to practice that for a little while before you even begin to incorporate it into your pattern. Because then, you're going you're not going to have very much time to set that club on your chin. You're only going to have as much time as that throw right before it gives you, something like that. So to make it continuous, you just really have to clean up your throws, practice doing it a lot, clean up that placement, and then try and make it make it look as pretty as possible. People really like this trick; call it juggling with your face, something like that. That's the chin roll."
