We, The Poetic Motion Machine, juggled for hours one night, well many nights really, but this night we recorded some of it. Those juggling: Eli, Jesse the Sloth, Holly, and StevenWeven. So here is a very experimental juggling video; definately some moments of glory and inspiration.

Some highlights of the 2011 Isla Vista festival and post-fest juggling in Lancaster, CA and at Vasquez Rocks. The other jugglers were Jonathan Redman, Jennifer Szabo, Beejay Joyer, Matthew Thornley, Steve (TheGoHeads), another guy who was also good at teaching that 2/3 count passing pattern, Rhonda and Will, and featuring an aggressive beast-woman who collects video of the people she follows around while needlessly and sweatily shouting "harassment".

Our entry for the IJA tutorial contest: 3 count behind the head passing. It's a fun pattern we came up with in January, and the concept of using 180s with directional body throws make it a concept ripe for variation./nIf you enjoyed it, please vote for us in the IJA tutorial contest! We'd really like to make it out to the convention this year =)

"Flipped" patterns are where every under the arm throw and catch become over the arm. And vice versa.

Doreen was visiting Madrid for a couple of days, and we spent a rainy morning juggling patterns in my warehouse. Is amazing how time flies when you play this kind of funny things, and how fast you can juggle new patterns with the right partner. She is one of the best passers in the world, for sure! In addition, is amazing how we keep enjoying Préchac Transformation after all these years. We already played a lot of this patterns but there is still a universe out there... Full of new tricks to discover and customize.

Panto, juggled by Graham, Joanne, Danny and Ed. Part of the Aidan Burns Project to juggle all 27 of his variations to the Scrambled V. Notation: __1__2__3 A: ps ps ps ->B B: ps ss ps ->C C: ss ps ss -> A M: sC iA cB -> M The feeder is "A", the juggler to the feeder's left is "B" and the juggler to the feeder's right is "C". The feeder counts "1 2 3" to make it easier to keep track of where we are in the pattern. On beats 1 and 3, A (the feeder) and B exchange a pass. On beat 2, A and C exchange a pass. On 3, juggler B catches the carried pass and walks on four count (rotating the positions anti-clockwise). 1. "sC": The manipulator substitutes a self from C to C. This takes place while the juggler is walking on four count. 2. "iA": The manipulator (M) intercepts a the pass from C to A. The juggler who was A is the new manipulator, and reads from the manipulator line. The old manipulator, reads A's line. 3. "cB": The manipulator carries a club to B. We found it useful for the manipulator (who was the feeder for 1 and 2) to say 3 during the carry, for continuity. All the jugglers are re-labeled and the new feeder starts counting the 3 passes. Panto gets it's name from the pass from A to B on beat 1, the club is quite close to the back of the manipulators head (He's behind you!).

Here's the 5-ball siteswap 10 5 5 5 5 0 (a55550) done two different ways. First the 10 is a high throw, and the 0 is demonstrated with an open palm, and then the 10 is tossed to a kickup and back into the pattern.

The juggling pattern Scrambled Ivy in memory of Aidan Burns. Shot in Berkeley California on November 8th, 2014. Jugglers: Arun Persaud, Joe Di Salvo, Dragon, Bob Madden.

It took me a while to unlearn my inside throw to qualify Marden's pattern for the Open Juggling League. I like the way this one emphasizes the slap throw, so I'm uploading it :)

Here's six in the inside halfshower 75, the outside halfshower (crescent) 75, wimpy pattern (6x,6x), synch fountain (6,6), and asynch fountain 6.

Throw in tricks were a bit of a theme... as was Pingu. Also, we got 1 round of the first galloped manipulator pattern where everybody gets to be in every position. More galloped manipulator patterns (and more rounds) will follow. See also https://www.facebook.com/trickychicksco/videos/178834085959616/ for a gallop manipulation where the manipulator doesn't change, but still very cool.

I always wanted to make a juggling video fit a certain song. So here's the result. I hope you'll enjoy. Filmed in September 2009.

Tine, DJochen and Flo demonstrate overlaying a less simple passing pattern with a Prechac based symmetric manipulation. For details see https://prechac.github.io/2016/12/25/overlay-takeouts.html

Don't get it? See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUbWjIKxrrs/nOur entry for the fifth annual IJA tutorial contest. Inspired by the legendary Vince Offer, do we have a pattern for you!/nThanks to Cameron for helping with filming, and to Michael Karas, Erin Stephens, Ely Doan, and Wes Peden for the testimonials./nSLAP CHOP!

The classic Roundabout pattern revisited in the Rhonda Style to create "Rhondabout". Rhonda Style came about from the pattern MinuEd http://juggling.tv/15002, but it is possible to Rhonda any pattern using these simple rules: 1. No Zipping! 2. No Flipping, apart from on a carry where you must flip both clubs. MinuEd is here: http://juggling.tv/15650 Try and Rhonda a manipulator pattern today!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIO5FTccHtU Here is my 4th video./nSome tricks are not done in the prettiest execution you can imagine, but I tried to do the hardest tricks I could hit on video. So I'm waiting for your feedback. :)

The little guy working on his favourite 4 ball pattern

Phantom patterns in rhythm Some pattern analysis: LH=left hand / RH=right hand CW=clockwise/ CCW=counter clockwise S=spin / SS=spin-spin / AS=anti-spin 0:32-1:44: (RH & LH, CCW for the whole pattern) half S - RH full SS & LH full AS - half S - RH full AS & LH full SS 1:45-2:38: (RH & LH CCW) three quarters of SS (x4) (RH & LH CW) three quarters of SS (x4) 2:39-3:37: (RH & LH, CCW for the whole pattern) Half S - pass - full SS (x4 to complete a full pattern with 3 balls) 5:31-5:44: Balls Asymmetric. (RH & LH CCW) 1 quarter of S - 1 quarter of SS (x4) (RH & LH CW) 1 quarter of S - 1 quarter of SS (x4)

An excellent 6 ball practice for me. I got the first 6 ball run on my first attempt. My last run is now my current record, at 120ish catches. /nOther notable tricks include 864, kick-up from 5 to 6, and a 5 ball shower multiplex start into a high-mid-lo shower.

Ed Clark's "Minued", performed by Aidee Castro, Rhonda Murray, and Will Murray of Long Beach. The Minued is a pass-pass-self takeout pattern with a basic cycle of 9 beats. Each person takes a turn as the manipulator and then the pattern repeats in a mirror image, so one full cycle takes 54 beats. This video is just under two full cycles. It was shot at the Passing Zone Clubhouse in Huntington Beach, California on April 2, 2015.

Svetlana Skladana, juggling with the Moscow Circus in Finland 1981. She is introduced as "the dancing juggler". staff; 4 & 5 clubs (shower); 5 & 7 rings; 4 rings with walkovers From this clip, you might think (as I did) that she only showers clubs, but there is another clip of Svetlana on YouTube (link above) which shows she is very competent with standard 4 & 5 club patterns.

This is the first time I've tried learning a pattern from a video tutorial. Definitely seems the way to go.

http://www.nielsduinker.com - This is a chapter of Niels Duinker's "Performance Highlights and Learn to Juggle DVD"./nLearn this cool juggling trick. Niels Duinker teaches you the half shower. The half shower is a variation on the cascade (the basic juggling pattern). In the half shower one hand does over the top throws while the other hand throws normally. It is a beginners tricks and a fun one to learn.

An old pattern and a few variations.
