Juggling 3 Balls: Showers

Video Transcript

"The shower. The three ball shower. Oddly enough, the pattern that most people think is juggling that isn't is quite similar to what really is juggling which is called the shower. The shower is a pattern where all of the balls are traveling in a circle. It's kind of what you think of when you see juggling in cartoons, or, you know, posters where the balls are all moving in a circle and one hand is doing all the throwing, and the other hand is doing all of the catching. OK. The easiest way to learn how to do the shower is to of already learned to do the outside rows because it's kind of a similar feeling. And I start the same way as I do for a regular cascade with two in my dominant hand. Throw the one up, throw them in a slightly different order. You throw one, two, three, rather than alternating hands. In the cascade you throw all of them out of one hand one, two, and after that second one goes up you do a hand off. The better you get, the more comfortable, eventually, you'll want it to have be a throw, a shuffle throw with the bottom is going across. So you're not physically handing them off. Because that takes a lot of time to physically move your hands together. It's very difficult. So you want to get the throw underneath, and you want to be focusing on all juggling, not on your hands, but on the space, if you can see where my eyes are, right at the apex. The top of where the balls are falling. And like everything else, you also want to learn how to do it in both directions. That's the shower."
