One of my first shows (although very small) was the result of a lot of work. It was done with my juggling partner Decaf at ZUZI Dance Theatre.
The music is The Creep Out by The Dandy Warhols with quotes from Alice In Wonderland recorded by me
Arm Roll - Rolling a hat along your arm.
Hold the hat in an inside grip, and from behind the head (duck a bit), release with a flick of the wrist.
The brim stays in front of the arm, whilst the crown rolls along it. The easy catch is palm-upwards. The hard, snazzy catch, which extends the roll a little bit, is palm downwards; let the brim roll over the thumb, and pinch-catch the brim between thumb & forefinger. Smile.
