"In this video I'm going to be talking about Burke's Barrage. Now this is a medium three ball trick. People often think about it as a variation on Mill's Mess. Now I'm going to show you what it looks like at first. Something like this. Unlike Mill's Mess, I'm actually changing the beat pattern. Instead of juggling in normal three throws like this, my pattern works out like this. And I'm just crossing a hand over and pulling a ball out during that slag time. Now to work up to a Burke's Barrage, one thing you really want to do is go into a Mill's Mess pattern, get a clean Mill's Mess pattern and then when that hand is crossed over, when this hand is over the top, instead of throwing back like this, pull it out to the side and throw a four straight up out of your left hand. So what's happening is you're in Mill's Mess what's crossed over, straight up, out and back. So here Mill's Mess, don't drop. Try it again. Mill's Mess, up, out. Just like that. So if you want to work into it, just do one then back into Mill's Mess. Do that on both sides. And then what happens is you just make it continuous. If you notice the ball in the middle just bouncing up straight and down, bouncing up and down, straight up, and the two balls on the outside are being switched out. So it's really exactly like this. Two balls on the outside are switching sides while the center ball just bounces straight up and down. That's Burke's Barrage."
