‘Dumb ways to die’ is a 4 person manipulator pattern invented by Ed that is based on the civil war feed.
If you want more people: you can add a second manipulator!
There are probably many ways to do this, but Psycho and Kathi invented this version called “Dumber ways to die (Huiiiii)”

Muckabout is a classic manipulator pattern which is described in Aiden Burn’s “How to steal from your friends”.
There are three jugglers juggling a three count feast and two manipulators, one doing right handed six count roundabout and one doing left handed three count roundabout.
A muckabout workshop was given at passout 2024-2025 and the demo team decided to film it too 🙂
We were inspired to add a manipulator to Techno and came up with four variations! These 8-club patterns were first juggled in Albuquerque, New Mexico by Lana Bolin, Ian Chesser and Omar Ramirez. We named our favorite variant, Techniquerque, after the city of invention itself.
A very short pattern that we accidentally created at the EJC 2024 while trying to create Ambled Mini Scrambleds, but we ended up arriving at something entirely different.
Manège à cinq is a version of Manège à trois with 2 extra manipulators.
Holy Grail About is a takeout pattern based on the 4-handed siteswap 975, also known as Holy Grail.
It was first juggled for a whole round at the 2024 EJC by Lukas, Adrian and Cameron.
According to Nicki’s article on takeout patterns in 4-handed siteswaps Christian predicted that a round of Holy Grail About would be thrown before the end of 2019, but it took until 2024!
After achieving a round Adrian, Lukas and Cameron decided this was they hardest takeout pattern they have done yet (and also the best crowd reaction to getting a round of a pattern!)
Chippy-Zippy is a combination of two existing patterns. Zippy (invented by Dr. Ed) and Chippy (the Zippy variation with a chop). Because both manipulators manipulate on their own beats it works pretty good together. The base pattern, a 9 club PPS runaround stays the same as in Zippy and Chippy.
