Juggling Tutorial Video by Gnome

I made a new thread for this because I was worried that the copious amounts of .gifs in my .gif thread would slow down the video for some people.

Anyways, here it is - my juggling tutorial. I think most everyone should be able to learn to juggle from this, given enough drive. If you're having a lot of trouble at any point, it would be great if you could film yourself practicing and send me a link or post it in this thread. Maybe I could give you some extra, personalized pointers. :)



Hope that helps!

Listen to what gnome says - don't juggle with tennis balls. They will piss you off to no end because you'll be dropping them and chasing after them each time. Pretty much the only reason learning the cascade took me more than a day to learn.

Anyway juggling isn't as hard as its reputation.. I can do pretty much any 3 or 4 ball trick except burke's barrage. Some 5 ball stuff too.

Nice, jhnnyman! You should try to learn Burke's, it's one of the most fun tricks to do in my opinion. Especially if you can already do mills mess and rubensteins, orbit or even just crossed-arms, it's only a little step farther.

If enough people express interest, I could try to make some tutorials for more advanced tricks. They get hard to explain, though, without one-on-one feedback. There's a lot of intuition going on, and everyone gets to understand the trick in different ways.

Awesome, Gnome! Thanks a ton! I'm downloading this so I can watch it as many times as I need to learn it, once I get home and find something to juggle. ;)

I am trying to learn Burke's, well it's just hard to wrap my mind around it. But meanwhile that damn 2-ball Terrorist is distracting me (google it), it's incredibly annoying that I can't do a 2-ball trick =P

I can see that advanced tricks are hard to explain, and I haven't found any tutorials that explain them well. For example, burke's barrage..

Awesome! Keep me posted on your progress. It's great to see others excited about juggling! :banana:

Will do! I can't wait to go ball up some socks...or something. :D

Yeah, haha I love that move! It's great practice for four and five ball speeds. I did it for a few seconds in the two-ball section of my 'hardest tricks' video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzNSvakq7q8)

I actually just taught Burke's to a guy in my school, so I've had some practice trying to explain. Maybe if you're still having trouble later I can try to make a good tutorial on that for you. I don't know if I'll be able to, though, it's tough to explain :?

You can make a video if you want, but you don't have to :)

edit: holy shit lol, I just did five cycles of the Terrorist =|

What's really nuts, is there's a reason it's called the "two ball" terrorist... there's a three ball version! :shock:
http://www.juggl.org/tricks.php?id=102

I have yet to try it, but I plan on being able to do it by the end of this coming weekend, hopefully. It looks like a 441 pattern on steroids! :D

gnome, that's a really good tutorial! :) And you're nice to look at too ;)

I will have to try this (probably with the socks) sometime. Thanks for making this tutorial - it's very good and helpful!

I'm starting to get the hang of this Terrorist.. speaking of which, I thought the reason it was called the Terrorist was because it confuses even experienced jugglers. And yeah, I saw the 3-ball version =/

Thanks, Burns! :)

One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that socks are pretty light - they may tend to bounce out of your hands a bit. I didn't do this, but I've seen people toss a few coins in them before rolling them up, and that seemed to make it easier for them. Good luck!

This is awesome. I can't wait to post a video. I'm having a lot of trouble doing three continuously. So, from the third time you throw a ball and onward, you throw it during that small amount of time before the last one hits your hand, right? Hehe, also, my tendency is to throw the third ball all low and/or forward... I guess I lose my concentration at that point. I'll keep working on it though. Maybe I'll end up posting a vid of what NOT to do. :lol:

---

I think there's a stage between concentrating on each ball being thrown/caught and just feeling the whole pattern, kind of like riding a bike. It sounds to me like you might be stressing about catching that second ball, so you throw the third one hastily. Maybe if you try doing it over a bed or couch, and just not catch any of the balls, you can practice throwing three balls at the right pace, all around the same height. If you do try this, be careful not to throw the balls too fast - wait until each previous one peaks. It should take almost two full seconds to get off all three throws.

And yeah, your cue to throw the next ball is when the previous ball peaks. I also forgot to mention this in the video (darn!), but it helps a lot to 'look through' the upper-middle part of the pattern, and not look at the balls individually. This helps me see each ball peak without missing any catches.

Good luck! :)

Oh, and Elis, that's an awesome animation! Those balls look fun to juggle, haha. I've tried basketballs before, larger/heavier ones feel very satisfying. Man, that sounds wrong. I get a lot of off-color jokes, carrying six balls in my pocket everywhere I go :lol:

That's pretty much how I juggle.
Although I can't do it how you do in the avie.

Heh, I followed your actions on the video and I can now do the three ball cascade. I need something heavier than socks, though... mine tend to fly off every now and then.

Great tutorial.

Awesome! I recommend you try that coin trick, if you have some pennies lying around. I'm excited for you :D

I Cant Figure Out How To Ball Up A Sock Ll

Haha, alright...

Lay out a sock flat, and start rolling it up (like a sleeping bag) from the toe up towards the opening. Once you get close enough to the opening, push the rolled-up bit through the opening (like, open up the top part of the sock and push the roll upwards through it). You should end up with a little bit of the "mouth" of the sock inside-out, covering up that rolled up bit.

If this is too light, try putting some coins into the sock before rolling it up.

Right on. Well, my dad plays baseball so he got me three significantly heavier balls and it works wonders.

Now for the trick tutorial. :P

I gave up. LOL. I mean, I got the three ball flash, but I was having trouble catching the both of the socks in one hand. I dunno. My hand eye co-ordination is excellent, I was just having trouble situating both socks when i had to catch em.

One thing I just found out: it helps (at least for me) if you keep your hands rotating constantly to keep the rhythm going.

OMG, when you fake threw the third ball that wasn't there. I actually thought i saw a third ball. Trick of the mind.:P

---

Well, if you continue the pattern you won't have to bother with catching two in one hand. I used to mess up the last catch all of the time, too - basically, as long as it just hits your hand or something, you know you could have caught it, and that's what matters. If you do it over a bed or couch, you can just pick it up again and keep going.

---

Yeah, I feel that too sometimes. I didn't say anything about it because if people don't discover it themselves, they tend to exaggerate the rotation and if your force it it just messes with your pattern. You definitely feel the rotation doing tricks like the half shower or reverse cascade, though.

If you guys want, I can try to make another tutorial with some simple derivative tricks (like half shower, reverse cascade, and juggler's tennis) in the coming days. They add some spice to your practice sessions :P

I am comfortable with whatever you feel like posting. ;)

Another question. How long did it take you to discover a near perfect rhythm? Sometimes it'll take me a couple tries before I get to eight or nine throws, while all the other times I'm only getting one or two. Usually I commit some of the common mistakes, like throwing it forward (I practice against my bed side so I don't step forward).

I think it took me about a week or so to be able to do it continuously. Progress is exponential, I think.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...35086938867623

If you take a look at my earliest juggling video, made about a month after I started (and I was still using tennis balls), you can see that I still wasn't very fluid, although I felt pretty comfortable.

I think there's a mechanical and an aesthetic portion of the learning process. First, you have to cement what you're trying to do in your head, so that you can run through it a few times. Then and only then can you really start to tweak it so it looks better.

It took a while to load up, but here's my second tutorial video.

It details some simple additions to the three-ball cascade: overhand throws, under-the-arm throws, and two balls in one hand. Hope it helps!

Would you mind if I post these videos onto another forum? There's a thread about juggling going around right now.

Sure, go ahead! Could you send me a link to it, though? I'd be curious to check it out :)

PM sent, they can be pretty harsh though, it's a Free for All there, so be prepared for the possibility of getting ripped a new one lol.

Right on gnome, thanks. I slept on it, picked the balls up this morning and instantly got a good ten throws in. Then I got back from school and went even longer. One day and I'm already getting better.

I think it just takes time and practice so you can realize how to keep the rhythm going. I can now correct myself whenever I throw the ball too far, too short, or too high. I'll be learning how to do your tricks once I perfect the cascade. :D

Haha, that's alright. I've already managed to teach at least one person to juggle, so it's mission accomplished as far as I'm concerned :)

That's great, CB! It really is like riding a bicycle. You actually get to the point where it's so regular, you can do it with your eyes closed! That's a fun trick to pull when people are watching you - I just turn my head and look over my shoulder, while I'm still juggling :lol:

The three-ball cascade is definitely the place to start, pretty much everything is based on it afterwards. One-up two-up tricks require you to be able to do two in one hand consistently, so it's a more advanced trick.

I'd like a tutorial for this please. ;)


Seriously, that's pretty cool that you're making tutorials! If you start making some for more advanced tricks that'd be awesome. I can cascade but that's it. :P

Ahh, now I just watched your second video! Very nice! I'm going to work on overhand later tonight.

Haha, I love that video! That's what first inspired me to try with socks. I can now do everything he does in that video, save the three-in-one-hand bit. I'm still working on that, I can only do like five or six throws before it falls apart.

You can! That's amazing.

I got my teacher to play this on the projector in Latin because we both listen to a lot of the Beatles and Steely Dan and a bunch of that good music. And the song is Golden Slumbers.

Everybody in the class was jaw-dropped.

How long did it take you to get that good?

I've been juggling for nine or ten months now, I think I'm just a natural (not to brag, but I did teach myself :P)
Here's a video of some of the hardest stuff I can currently do, to establish my credentials as a tutor :D

Very nice 5 ball! Is that hard to do? It looks amazing.

That's pretty good after 10 months it seems. I have no idea about how fast a normal person progresses though, so I wouldn't really know. :P I'm probably a natural also. I seem to be at nearly everything that is like this. Hand eye and foot eye coordination and timing. :P

Thanks! Five balls is very hard when you start trying, it is very fast-paced and your throws need to be REALLY precise, otherwise the balls all hit, or you have to reach too far to make a catch, and the pattern breaks. It's quite tiring to make such high throws at such a pace, too, your arms take a bit of a beating if you practice it for a few hours.

I don't really know how fast a 'normal' person progresses, either, but I understand it takes some people years to learn five balls, so I think I'm doing pretty good :)

Alright, so it's my third day, and I can do the three ball cascade with ease. The overhand is cinch (both left and right) and I just did a couple successful attempts at the jugglers tennis. I can do the two ball one hand for a while.

Only one I have problems with is the underhand, but that'll come with time if I've already learned all of these. :D

---

Great job, CB! I was a little worried about the underhand throws, because I didn't really know how to explain them too well. The only thing I can really think to add is that you should make sure your strong hand throws the ball from under your weak hand at the same moment as the ball your weak hand just threw arcs over the middle of your body, then dart back to catch it. This timing scheme holds true for almost all three-ball juggling moves. Good luck with that!

I had a lot of stats homework tonight, and tomorrow is looking heavy too (physics). Friday afternoon I think I'll try to make a video outlining the yoyo-oyoy family as well as the one-up-two-ups. Those should keep you busy for a while, there are a ton of variations of both groups. :)

I'm really glad that you enjoy juggling and are advancing so well! Having students always give you renewed vigor :lol:

As for my own endeavors, check out this guy I've just discovered, he's phenomenal! I'm going to try to learn some of the tricks he's doing if I can, they're ridiculously cool!

This guy's been juggling since 1992, before you or I could probably walk very well, so don't feel bad haha. What an inspiration, though!

Okay, here's Friday's tutorial video: Introduction to the Yoyo and One-up-two-up families of tricks.


I call it an introduction because I really just explain the concepts and a few of the possible implementations. There are way too many of each type to cover all of the variations in great detail, and I think it's more fun to experiment and discover them yourself anyways.

Good luck, and have fun! Progress reports or feedback welcome! :)

Nice recent tutorial.

Your Mills Mess looks really smooth. Mine doesn't flow as much, and it's really choppy. Do you know why this might be?

PS that guy you posted above is outstanding. It's almost scary how good he is.

---

Thanks!

There are three things I try to concentrate on to do an effective mills mess:

1) Each ball should follow roughly the same arc as every other ball on any side. There are three throws from one side, three throws from the other side, etc. etc. - I try to concentrate and make sure that all three are making the same arc. This makes it look like a spinning wheel-type pattern.
(You can see that I wasn't quite successful in my avatar at this - the last ball thrown from either side has a slightly wider arc. But it's good enough.)

2) The catches need to be cradles. I try to keep the impacts of the balls on my hands very soft - in order to do this, I move my hands as close to the speed that the balls are going as I can before catching them. You can see this in my avatar, my hands will make quick changes in direction in order to match up more smoothly with the velocity of the next ball. This is kind of tricky, but you get used to it if you 'feel' the pattern enough.

3) "Slide the crooked ball". The first ball you throw on either side is throw from an arm above the other arm, I call this ball 'crooked' because the arm holding it slides over towards the crook of the other arm beneath it. I try to slide this ball over towards the other side as soon as I catch it, to help the pattern stay wide and make it look like the balls are 'snaking' across, back and forth.

Hope that helps!

I've always wanted to learn this. Thank you so much. :bowdown:

I think ill try too
TO YOUTUBE...

I've been practising for a couple of days now, but I can still only manage the three ball flash. When I try to do the fourth throw, I totally lose control. I can do the three ball flash no problem, and I don't think practising it any more will help.

Keep practicing. I thought the same thing before, but eventually you'll just toss the fourth throw and go, "Sweet!" Then it'll be five, then six, then you can go for as long as you want.

I'm getting better at the overhand, and still having some problems with the under-arm. I can do a sort of under-arm flash. :D I'll keep practicing!

---

Hmm... are you sure your timing is good? If you can do the three-ball flash, you're essentially throwing one ball, then doing one under-the-ball throw on each side. In order to do the fourth throw, all you have to do is toss in another under-the-ball throw identical to the one you did for the second ball. If your timing is solid, you shouldn't have too much trouble tossing in that extra fourth one.

Feel free to tape yourself doing it, maybe I could help you out more if I saw what you were doing. Good luck! :)

Yeah, timing is fine, everything's fine, but when I try the fourth and fifth throws the balls fly everywhere. I would tape myself, but I don't have a camera.

Hey thanks for doing these tutorials gnome! I was thinking about sending you a PM asking for some tips. I guess there is no need now.:)

I only watched the first one so far. I actually learned how to do three a little differently. I practiced doing two in one hand until I could do it continuously.
Then I practiced doing two in the other hand. Once I could do two proficiently in either hand. I was automatically able to do three. Just by doing the same thing, only alternating hands.

I've never figured out how to do more than three. So I'm hoping to learn some new tricks from you.:)

I had a pretty crazy dream the other night, that started out by sending you a PM about juggling tips lol. It's in my regular journal if your interested.
I don't know what the link is right now.

Edit: Went back and watched the second video. Already learned a new trick thanks to you.:) I've been practicing the over hand throw you demonstrated. Where you throw the one ball over the top of the others. I pretty much got it down. I'm going to practice it a little more before trying some of the other ones though.

Thanks again for bringing the fun back into it for me. Just doing the basic cascade gets boring after a while.

Here is the link to that dream.

Thanks for the advice. I wish your tips were as easy as they sound, though!

Burke's Barrage still eluding me.. I just can't understand it :eek:
But I'm making a lot of progress. I even learned a few new tricks.

I'm glad I've been of some help! I might try to come up with an easy way of explaining Burke's and make a tutorial for you sometime later this week, if you'd like. :)

That's great to hear, Caradon! Makes it very worthwhile :)
I've read about learning the cascade that way, but I prefer my method for teaching beginners because two-in-one-hand is at four-ball speed, so it can be frustrating to start out at such a relatively high level of juggling skill for some people. If you managed it, though, great! That means you're all set to learn the yoyo and one-up-two-ups! You might even be able to pull off some four-ball tricks, with a little practice!

I'd love to eventually learn some four ball stuff! I hope your going to do some videos on that too.:)

Looking awesome, gnome. I love the glow balls video. It looks like you've got three hands. And 5-ball is a huge challenge.

You mentioned using socks. A lot of magicians practice juggling using 6" or 9" silks (that's "scarfs" for those who don't know) because they have a nice slow fall time. Those large yarn pom-pom things work well too but fall a little faster (not the crocheted yarn balls in the "Pom-pom stick" trick but the fuzzy types like what are use for decorative purposes).

I can get my overhands fairly well now, and am starting to catch on to underarms!

Your video Pic in this Forum inspired me to Google juggling. I bookmarked the page and never got back to it.
SO anyways, How awesome for YOU to have created one. Thank you!

Well I already am in trouble. All I had were golf balls. Actually I got the hang of it pretty well - with 3 that is.
I had it going and I took my eye off the ball, literally and crash.

Maybe my wife won't miss that antique uuuh thingy.? :P

This video is highly overrated. Anyone could learn to do that in a few years of unserious practice. Hes just really good at making it look much harder than it is. Rumours state that this guy cannot juggle 5 balls ... and i have no problem beliving that.
I guess that it's hard for most people to understand that everytime a new ball is added, everything gets like 100x as hard. Juggling a simple 5 ball cascade is much harder than doing most 3 ball moves while being blindfolded. Here's an example of a juggler who knows what he's doing (don't be scared away by the beginning:D):



Gnome - That 3 ball theroist ... it seems that juggl.org is offline, so i can't see it. Could i get the siteswap or something like that? I would really love to try it out. You should try 615 too. Thats a great add-on to the teroist - feels fantastic...

I don't know, he does three in one hand at one point. That's six-ball speed.

Wow, cool video. Too bad that guy is a bit of a dick about it, but he is pretty good. With him and Jason Garfield, you would think dickishness and juggling ability go hand in hand... :shock:

I don't know the siteswap for the three-ball terrorist, but basically you have to pass through two balls before the first one falls every time. I'll try to find it for you at some point, if I can. And thanks, I'll look into this 615.

Sorry for not making any tuts for so long, I'm considering doing the windmills or something tomorrow for you guys. Thanks for the enthusiasm! :)

Yeah... windmills... no idea what those are, but I can't wait to learn them. :D

Overnight, I got a lot better, and can do a bunch of whatever the hell I wants. :lol:

Any kind of overhand, underarm, claw things, and any kind of two in one hand type thing, all in a little improvised routine thing, usually without dropping! It is sloppy, but I get it done, so now I just need to make it prettier. :D

I think that both Garfield and Dietz does 5 balls in one hand:D But still, i can only agree with the thing about them being a bunch of assholes sometimes. Although i understand that they would be a bit frustrated when people like Chriss Bliss steals their thunder, i think that Garfield is going way too far. I would barely be suprised to discover him having killed Chris Bliss;)

Alright guys, I've finally managed to crank out a new tutorial. This one is for the Windmill and Burke's Barrage, as requested. I tried to be as detailed as possible about how Burke's works, and build up to the full pattern. Any feedback is appreciated!

Sweet! You should definitely be able to get these two new ones, then! Keep me posted as to whether or not I explained well enough for you to figure it out :)

Whoa, five in one hand?! That's nuts! I'm working on three-in-one-hand-reverse-cascade, and it's already quite fast. Craziness!

Here's a tutorial I made for Rubenstein's and Romeo's Revenge, if anyone's up to the challenge. :)

I've got the windmill pretty well, but not Burke's Barrage.

Haven't even seen the last video. Watching now. :D
