How to Juggle
-
Get into the starting position:
- Place two balls in your dominant hand, one in front of the other.
- Hold the third ball in your other hand.
- Let your arms dangle naturally and bring your forearms parallel to the ground (as though you were holding a tray).
-
Make the first toss:
- Of the two balls in your dominant hand, toss the front one toward your left hand in a smooth arc.
- Make sure the ball doesn’t spin too much.
- Make sure the ball goes no higher than about eye level.
-
Make the second toss:
- Once the first ball has reached the top of its arc, toss the ball in your other hand.
- Throw the ball toward your dominant hand.
- Make sure the ball flies under the first ball.
- Watch that the ball doesn’t spin or go higher than eye level.
-
Now things get a little tricky (!). Soon after you release the second ball, the first ball will approach your other hand (gravity never fails). Go ahead and catch the first ball.
-
When the second ball reaches its apex, throw the third ball (the remaining ball in your dominant hand) under it.
-
At this point, it just becomes a game of catch-and-throw-under, catch-and-throw-under. Keep repeating steps 1–5 and, before you know it, you’ll be a juggling fool. (However, I’d recommend holding off on the flaming clubs until you’ve practiced a little.)
