Juggle together

‘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 🙂
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.
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.
In every manipulation pattern, an intercept must always be followed by a carry. Or… must it?
Killer Bunny About is a lab-grown pattern that was designed specifically to answer this question that had baffled passing nerds for centuries. If you want to know the answer, go ahead and juggle the pattern (or simply watch the video). The answer might surprise you!
Gare du Zap is the 6-handed siteswap a8999 (global), where you locally throw “pass self zap self self”. The pass (3.3 P) should be in the air a little bit longer than a self, the zap is just a little bit faster that a self (2.7 P).
Another “little” 4-handed siteswap passing with Zaps. Great for warming up, super nice outdoors pattern, even with windy conditions.
We survived the first year of the pandemic, we are healthy, we are allowed to have a super tiny little juggling convention and we can still pass.
