"In this video, we're going to talk about learning how to do a back cross multiplex with clubs. If you remember with balls, a back cross multiplex is exactly what it sounds like. You do a multiplex behind your back. Now with clubs it's the same thing, except I think it looks pretty sweet. Something like that. A back cross multiplex. Now to do this we're going to break this down into a few steps. First, you need to have a very clean multiplex out of one of our hands, just like that. Remember, with the club on top, it's going right back to the same hand. The other club is being caught by the opposite hand. Now, what you need to do is try and throw that behind your back. Now when you go behind your back, you need to keep your wrist vertical, so that when you're like this, you're still stacked the correct way. You don't want to turn your wrist over and throw it like this, because then they won't spin correctly. You want to have it stacked just like you would have it for a normal multiplex, but behind your back like that. So then when you make this throw, what happens--the orange club, which in a normal multiplex goes to the same hand, will still go to the same hand. You're going to have to whip your other hand out in front, back from behind your back to catch that throw. Like this. If you notice the green one, the double spin, I catch that with my left hand. The orange one I whip my right hand back in front of my body to catch it. Now to incorporate this into the pattern, just like you--you do it just like you would a normal multiplex. But you do it behind your back. So you throw a double, stack the multiplex, and throw it behind your back. Just like that. Watch again. Of course you can do this with both hands. Something worth practicing. And we can learn some other tricks stacking on top of this later."
