How to Juggle

  1. Get into the starting position:
    1. Place two balls in your dominant hand, one in front of the other.
    2. Hold the third ball in your other hand.
    3. Let your arms dangle naturally and bring your forearms parallel to the ground (as though you were holding a tray).
  2. Make the first toss:
    1. Of the two balls in your dominant hand, toss the front one toward your left hand in a smooth arc.
    2. Make sure the ball doesn’t spin too much.
    3. Make sure the ball goes no higher than about eye level.
  3. Make the second toss:
    1. Once the first ball has reached the top of its arc, toss the ball in your other hand.
    2. Throw the ball toward your dominant hand.
    3. Make sure the ball flies under the first ball.
    4. Watch that the ball doesn’t spin or go higher than eye level.
  4. 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.
  5. When the second ball reaches its apex, throw the third ball (the remaining ball in your dominant hand) under it.
  6. 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.)
