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.
PATTERNS
Videos, notation and explanations of passing patterns.
Super Lazy 966-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
966-About with 5 jugglers is about as lazy as you can get!
6-handed: aa799
6-handed siteswaps - aa799 is another one that is not very easy but quite nice
We managed to juggle this one at aichtal Drop GmbH Convention even though Juli was organizing - we first hated it, then it started working and we got round to kind of liking it.
Mayday Zap
Mayday zap is a 6-handed siteswap (global siteswap: a37979999) for 3 people and 8 clubs. Juggled by John, Katia and Leo on a rainy day in Oslo, July 2023, near Mayday bar š
Lazy 567-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
567-About is nice and easy even without a lazy juggler – and it’s still nice and easy with a lazy juggler!!!
Lazy 96677-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
And here’s for you, finally an easy siteswap to do the lazy way! As the 9 is being carried, the Runners only do 2-count and then have lots (zip-zip-zip) of time to to the carry.
Lazy 972-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
Plus, it’s a nice way to invite a 4th person into your “-About”. It’s similar to going “on socks” but 1 position stays at their place all the time. By the way, we should mention that the juggling is most advanced in the “Lazy” position.

Gare du Zap^2
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).
