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.
3-count friction (fcc)
fcc is a 8-handed siteswap for 4 people, 8 hands and 13 clubs (^-^) Juggled by John, Jonathan, Tillman and Helena during SaarCon, Aug 2024.
Holy Grail About
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!)
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.
2p 1 3p 2 “Benni”
This siteswap has long been around – but now we finally took a nice video in the Bodensee
2p 1 variations with balls, clubs and penguins
2p 1 is one of the most basic and simple siteswaps – so it’s time to fool around!
2p 1 1 2 “Michel”
Michel was asking for a drinking pattern that could be passed with the pandemic still running strong – to each their own bottle now!
Easy 3 Clubs Warmup (1.5p)
A super easy warmup for beginner (club) jugglers who want to feel out clubs. No juggling skills required!
Flip Flip Pass Hug (or Kiss) a.k.a. Pärchen-Pattern (2 2 1p 1)
Another pattern in the “Passing for non-jugglers” workshop. It´s super easy – and super cute.
