Juggling 4-Ball Shower Trick

Video Transcript

"In this video I'm going to be talking about the four ball shower. Now this is a medium to hard trick. If you have a solid four ball fountain, it shouldn't take you all that much time to work up to a four ball shower. Now if you remember, the three ball shower--and all showers actually--are the pattern where there's one high throw, and one very low zip, like this. Now switching from three to four, in a shower pattern, what happens is exactly what you think would happen: you add another ball, you throw higher, and you throw faster. So if we add the fourth ball, we go into four balls, I'm still going to keep throwing a high throw with my right, and a low zip with my left. So the high throw is higher, and everything is a little bit faster. Something like this. Now it takes a good amount of practice before you really clean that up. You really have to get those high throws the same height. Because all the balls are traveling on the same path, it's really easy for two to run over each other, like one ball to go ahead of the other, and then things really get messed up. You might want to work on just cleaning up that high throw and just practice it a lot. Other than that I don't have a whole lot of suggestions. Just really put some time into it, clean it up. There are some good ways to switch from a four ball fountain into the shower. One of my favorites is to throw a multiplex, and go right into the shower like that. Now let's see if I can do that without messing it up. This will be a multiplex out of my right hand and into the four ball shower."
