Here's sort of the "Human Computer" way to deduce siteswap transition sequences between excited-state tricks. You map out the states, and look directly for ways to get from a state in one of the tricks to a state in the other.

Here's the way computers use the state-space to generate transition sequences ... and why that way doesn't work for people! Plus, there's a human-based way if you know of or can come up with a trick that has states in common with the two tricks you wish to transition between. /nPlease note that even if tricks have different levels of excitation, but nevertheless share states with one another, you can just go from the middle of one trick to the middle of the other (or wherever the tricks share the common state), without any "extra" throws.

I took a 10-year break from juggling, but am getting back into it. Here is my first collage.
Music is Comets Over Flatland (15) by R. Winchester. It is written in 15-tone equal temperament, not the otherwise universal 12-tone equal temperament of western music. Filmed in late 2009.

0:19: 5: ([4,4x],2)*
0:29: 7: ([6,6x],2)*
0:37: 4: 7161616
0:51: 5: 75751, 77771707771716661*, then 95551 a few times. * Trick was "spontaneous."

1:56: 5: 91
2:07: 6: 99919191
2:14: 8: 999999990 and 99999991 flashes
2:23: 9: 9 (9 catches then 11 catches)
2:40: 10: a (11 catches, Garfield Finish)

I was the second person to do this after Bruce Sarafian, who at that time had not yet flashed 12 balls nor gotten past 11 catches with 11 balls.
Plus, this shows the definitive Boppo Finish.

Here's one way to end a juggling trick, but only when you're using beanbags.

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.

This is my favorite way to enter, reverse and exit a five ball shower. From cascade 5, 678 is the entrance, 91 (repeated) is the shower, and 817161 is the exit. To reverse, throw 8181818 and then you can throw 91s from the other side.

I find this trick funny, because it is almost like the 6 ball shower entry and exit, 789a...b1...a1918171 but it chickens out at the 9s and flees back to the fountain.

This is the six-ball siteswap 9595881771. Enjoy! And if you don't enjoy it, there is, once again, the awesome concrete wall behind me, and shown on the thumbnail.

The six-ball siteswap 999441. Note that there are 3, 2, and 1 throws of each different height, which have heights of 3^2, 2^2, and 1^1. The sum of the throws are then 3^3 + 2^3 + 1^1, which is the square of the third triangular number (1+2+3)^2. How about that? This works in general, by the way.
