Example:
Here are the basic steps for the most fundamental of juggling
movesthe three-ball cascade:
<OL STYLE="list-style: lower-roman outside">
<LI>Place two balls in your dominant hand, one in front of the other,
and 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).
<LI>Of the two balls in your dominant hand, toss the front one towards
your left hand in a smooth arc. Make sure the ball doesn't spin too
much and that it goes no higher than about eye level.
<LI>Once the first ball has reached the top of its arc, you need to
release the ball in your other hand. Throw it towards your dominant
hand, making sure it flies <I>under</I> the first ball. Again, watch
that the ball doesn't spin or go higher than eye level.
<LI>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.
<LI>When the second ball reaches its apex, throw the third ball (the
remaining ball in your dominant hand) under it.
<LI>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.)

How It Looks:
- Here are the basic steps for the most fundamental of juggling
movesthe three-ball cascade:
- Place two balls in your dominant hand, one in front of the other,
and hold the third ball in your other hand. Let your arms dangle
naturally and bring your forearms parallel to the ground (as though

- Of the two balls in your dominant hand, toss the front one towards
your left hand in a smooth arc. Make sure the ball doesn't spin too
much and that it goes no higher than about eye level.
- Once the first ball has reached the top of its arc, you need to
