"In this video I'm going to be talking about what I call a Dolphin catch. Now the name Dolphin catch comes from how they look when you juggle with clubs but they also look cool when you juggle with balls, even though they don't really look like dolphins. To start out with, this is a hard trick. It's pretty difficult, you don't actually see the ball when you catch it. I'll just show you what it looks like for one. This is one dolphin catch. If you see the throw, it's coming from my opposite hand, crossing over this shoulder, then I catch it blind behind my back with this hand. So, we need to work on is just the throw from one hand over the far shoulder and into this hand, something like that. What you're going to do is you're going to look at the ball at the peak of its pattern and then figure out how to catch it from there. You need to work on this on both sides so we're right hand dolphin catch as well and then when you incorporate this into the pattern, you can throw it around and mix it up with penguin throws or penguin catches behind the back, things like that, behind the back, dolphin catches, anything like that. You can mix it up, it's just different variations on the body throw can lead to some pretty cool patterns."
