‘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)”

A small error in crossing wankle engine led to this beauty:
A (and A’) stays a “lazy” feeder forever while B, C and M change roles and hands continuously.
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.
Cold Shoulder is a new pattern that copies the manipulation of the regular roundabout into a three count base pattern. After a bit of fooling around with different styles of manipulation we came up with a version that doesn’t have zips, therefore contains a magic club that is never thrown – the perfect attribute to make it a beer passing pattern, or in our case an ice cream passing pattern.
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.
Ambled Mini V is the first pattern to add an extra club to Wiebke’s Mini Scrambled family of patterns, specifically to Mini V (#6). Since it is shorter than a “full” Ambled pattern and has an easier feeding sequence, we might start recommending Mini Ambleds to people who want to start learning manipulation patterns with double passes.
Similar to how there exist more than 27 Ambled patterns, there should also be more than 6 “Mini Ambleds”. Does anyone want to find them all? 🙂
Manège à cinq is a version of Manège à trois with 2 extra manipulators.
