Backcross to head catch - Throw the hat behind your back, and catch it on your head.
Like most throwing moves, this is a variation on the Throw to head - so it's probably a good idea to learn that first!
Hold the hat in your right hand using an inside grip, spread your fingers out nice and wide as you would for a normal throw to the head.
Swing your arm out to the side, so that the crown of the hat is pointing downwards. Bring your arm behind your back and release the hat so that it does a nice, high, slow spin above your left shoulder.
As the hat descends, look up into it and catch it in the same way that you would for a standard throw to the head.
Top Tip: The catching part is easier if you turn your head towards your left shoulder just before the catch. Oh, and obviously learn this throw from both hands...

A nice variation on the Coat Peg.
Hold the hat in an inside grip at waist height and throw it upwards with half a spin.
As the hat flies upwards quickly stick your throwing hand up in the air and catch it.
The key is to spread the fingers on your throwing hand as much as possible and hold your catching hand in a coat peg grip. The hat lands on your thumb like it's landing on a coatpeg.

Hold the hat in an inside grip. Put the other arm out at an angle and twist the hand round so it faces backwards. Place the hat on the upper arm and let it roll down to a catch in another inside grip. Repeat as often as you like by alternating sides.

At some point, your hat will end up on the floor and you'll want it back in your hand. You could just bend down and pick it up (boring!), use a normal foot to head (less boring, but relatively easy) or you could use this little move... (Far more studly way to kick a hat :-)
Place the hat on the floor, to your left, crown downwards and the opening tilting slightly towards you.
Point your right toe, and bring it behind your left leg. Place your right toe into the opening of the hat, and give it a quick upwards flick. With luck (and practice :-) you can make the hat jump up into your left hand.
Top tip: If the hat isn't quite in the right position, you can use your right foot to move it around a bit before kicking.
Bonus points: Do it without falling over about 20 times whilst filming the damn clip for your website...

After getting the hat to your foot (the knock to foot is the most common way, but there are plenty of others) you can hop and quickly remove your foot from the hat. Quickly get your throwing foot onto the ground and place the other foot inside the hat. As you can see from the video the hat stays fairly still and it's you that does all the movement.
This video of the hat being spun as it is thrown between the feet should give you some ideas for variations on this trick.

Headstop Cascade - A three hat juggling pattern where each hat is thrown to the head.
This is a series of Throw To Heads, alternating hands, but immediately after you make the throw, you have to take off the hat on your head with the throwing hand.

Place the inside of the elbow against the forehead and duck your head down out of the hat. The little drop to the side in the video clip is based on a move normally done with plates.
This trick links nicely to levitation.

Though not traditionally placed together, I find folk music and juggling to be a pleasant pairing. It slows down my juggling and adds a certain emotional quality to it. Deep waters indeed./nMusic is Depp Waters by Crooked Stil

Juggling.
With nice lighting. And a proper camera. Life is good.
Thanks to Yamamura Yuri for filming and generally being a good guy.
Thank you for watching!/nFun fact: 30 minutes before recording, I injured my knee pretty badly. What you cannot see here is me limping from left to right before and after. Video magic is magic alright.

2 young boys from Beijing (Peking) Acrobatic Troupe juggling china jars/pots at 10th Cirque de Demain 1987. Gold medal.
Jar juggling is a traditional Chinese acrobatic form, but is more commonly done as a solo act. Doing it in duo opens up lots of possibilities.

The juggling is just a simple 3 club cascade, but the performance package is what counts here - a charming picture of a boy with his toy juggling automaton.
From Cirque de Demain 1984. Silver medal (for this and other reprises)
