Juggling Notation
Juggling notation is the written depiction of concepts and practices in juggling. Toss juggling juggling pattern, patterns have a reputation for being "easier done than said" – while it might be easy to learn a given maneuver and demonstrate it for others, it is often much harder to communicate the idea accurately using speech or plain text. To circumvent this problem, various numeric or diagram-based notation systems have been developed to facilitate communication of patterns or tricks between jugglers, as well the investigation and discovery of new patterns. A juggling notation system (based on percussion notation, music notation) was first proposed by Dave Storer in 1978 and while the first juggling diagram (a ladder diagram), by Claude Shannon around 1981, was not printed till 2010, the first printed diagram and second oldest notation system were proposed by Jeff Walker in 1982.Lewbel, Arthur (1996).The Academic Juggler: The Invention Of Juggling Notations", ''Juggle.org''. ...

Juggling 333 Ladder Alternate
Juggling is a physical skill, performed by a juggler, involving the object manipulation, manipulation of objects for recreation, entertainment, art or sport. The most recognizable form of juggling is toss juggling. Juggling can be the manipulation of one object or many objects at the same time, most often using one or two hands but also possible with feet. Jugglers often refer to the objects they juggle as ''props''. The most common props are juggling ball, balls, juggling club, clubs, or juggling ring, rings. Some jugglers use more dramatic objects such as knives (juggling), knives, torch (juggling), fire torches or chainsaws. The term ''juggling'' can also commonly refer to other prop-based manipulation skills, such as diabolo, plate spinning, devil sticks, poi (juggling), poi, cigar box (juggling), cigar boxes, contact juggling, hooping, yo-yo, and hat manipulation. Etymology The words ''juggling'' and ''juggler'' derive from the Middle English ''jogelen'' ("to entertain by ...

Juggling Prop
A skill toy is an object or theatrical prop used for dexterity play or an object manipulation performance. A skill toy can be any static or inanimate object with which a person dances, manipulates, spins, tosses, or simply plays. Most skill toys are played alone, although some can be played with multiple people (such as footbag, juggling, and jump rope). Examples Common examples of skill toys include: * Bamboo-copter *Balance board (Rola bola, Rocker, Rocker-roller, Wobble, Sphere-and-ring, Spring board, Above Water and Under Water balance boards)) **Bilibo **Seesaw **Simply Fit Board **Teeterboard *** Neolttwigi * Ball-in-a-maze puzzle ** Labyrinth (marble game) ** Perplexus ** Rubik's 360 * Balloon modelling (Balloon twisting) * Baton * Bicycle and related forms ** Balance bicycle *** Kickbike ** Jyrobike ** Quadracycle ** Tricycle *** Big wheel ** Unicycle * Bolas **Alaska yo-yo ** Astrojax **Clackers **Meteor **Monkey Knuckles ** Oxbow hammer (Puppy hammer) ** Poi * Begleri ...

Cascade (juggling)
In toss juggling, a cascade is the simplest juggling pattern achievable with an odd number of props. The simplest juggling pattern is the three-ball cascade,Bernstein, Nicholai A. (1996). ''Dexterity and Its Development'', p.379. . This is therefore the first pattern that most jugglers learn. However, although the shower requires more speed and precision, "some people find that the movement comes naturally to them," and it may be the pattern learned first. "Balls or other props follow a horizontal figure-eight hourglass figure] pattern above the hands." In siteswap, each throw in a cascade is notated using the number of balls; thus a three ball cascade is "3". "In the cascade...the crossing of the balls between the hands demands that one hand catches at the same rate that the other hand throws . The hands also take turns ..." Number of props Three-ball For the three-ball cascade the juggler starts with two balls in one hand and the third ball in the other hand. One ball is ...

Siteswap
Siteswap, also called quantum juggling or the Cambridge notation, is a numeric juggling notation used to describe or represent juggling patterns. The term may also be used to describe siteswap patterns, possible patterns transcribed using siteswap. Throws are represented by non-negative integers that specify the number of beats in the future when the object is thrown again: "The idea behind siteswap is to keep track of the order that balls are thrown and caught, and only that." It is an invaluable tool in determining which combinations of throws yield valid juggling patterns for a given number of objects, and has led to previously unknown patterns (such as 441). However, it does not describe body movements such as behind-the-back and under-the-leg. Siteswap assumes that "throws happen on beat (music), beats that are equally spaced in time." Also available aJuggling.org For example, a three-ball cascade may be notated "3 ", while a shower (juggling), shower may be notated "5 1". ...

Mills Mess
In toss juggling, Mills' Mess is a popular juggling pattern, typically performed with three balls although the props used and the number of objects can be different. The pattern was invented by and named after Steve Mills. It is a well-known trick among jugglers and learning it is considered somewhat of a milestone, "a mind-boggling pattern of circling balls, crossing and uncrossing hands, and unexpected catches." Gillson, George. ''Beyond the Cascade'', Cascade Books: Seattle Washington 1990reviewed by Bill Giduz in ''Juggler's World: Vol. 42, No. 4''/ref> The base of this pattern is a traditional reverse cascade, (siteswap 3 in siteswap notation), with an extra "mess" added by crossing and uncrossing arms. The effect created is that the balls pursue each other from one side to the other. It is also a windmill pattern which changes direction every three throws. Modern origin Mills Mess was invented in the early 1970s (Between 1974 and 1975). Steve Mills was experimenting ...

Passing (juggling)
Passing is the act of juggling between two or more people. It is most commonly seen as a subset of toss juggling. Passing Passing can be performed with three or more juggling props but is most commonly performed with six objects such as juggling balls, balls, juggling rings, rings or juggling clubs, clubs. "This is the basic part of team juggling and it requires two pretty smooth jugglers."Cassidy, John and Rimbeaux, B.C. (1988). ''Juggling for the Complete Klutz'', p.38. Klutz Press. Third edition. . Jugglers can perform passing one person standing behind the other, back to back, or side by side but the most usual stance is where the jugglers face each other. Props Clubs are the prop of choice for passing because of the larger surface area available for catching (most often the handle), the variety of possible tricks that can be performed and the higher visibility of the props for an audience. Rings are sometimes chosen for numbers passing because of their light weight and re ...
