Basic Tricks with Three Balls.

Some people think that learning to juggle is the trick, but there is so much more that you can do. Once you've got the hang of the cascade pattern, even if you're not great at it, there are lots of juggling tricks to make it more interesting.

As soon as you can keep the balls in the air for more than twenty throws, then you should try some of the tricks listed below. Not only are you getting closer to becoming a proficient show off, but trying the harder tricks improves your ability to do the basics.

Here are just a few of the tricks that can be done.

Four Balls

If you have a solid three ball cascade, and are easily able to switch from one trick to another, then you might be ready to tackle the fourth ball. Remember that as you take on harder tricks, you will learn slower.

Diabolos

Diabolos are one of the coolest juggling toys going. It's sort of like a Yo-yo which can be thrown high into the air (50 ft or more !), and then be caught on the string again.
