Four balls, two in each hand, with the hands working independently and no ball ever crossing. The four-ball equivalent of the cascade.
Learning this pattern
Before learning this
Worth having comfortable before you start.
Practice tips
- Master two in one hand on both sides before putting them together.
- Keep the two hands out of step; if they sync up you are juggling a different pattern.
Common mistakes
- Letting the two hands fall into sync, which turns it into a different pattern.
- Throwing across the body — in a fountain the balls never cross.
