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.
PATTERNS
Videos, notation and explanations of passing patterns.
9 Club Roundabout
9 Club Roundabout is the classic pattern Roundabout with 2 clubs added. The base pattern is 8 club 2 count on doubles.
It was first juggled for a two rounds by Lukas, Adrian and Cameron at a juggling club in London but they didn’t film it. At the 2023 EJC they finally got two rounds on film.
The pattern was first proposed by Cameron. There is a trick in 8 club 2 count on doubles where you throw a right handed quad self and your partner responds with a right handed single self. Cameron realised you could use this to add two clubs to lots of the classic, right handed, manipulator patterns. This is similar to/inspired by the way Triolar (a juggling trio focused on club passing consisting of Liza, Anna and Ronja ) realised you could add one club to roundabout by throwing a triple self in 7 club 2 count on doubles.
Cameron has vague memories of trying some of the “simplified roundabout” patterns from how to steal from your friends with 2 clubs added at the 2019 EJC with Andy (and someone else presumably). He also remembers trying one transition of 9 club roundabout at the Krelingen passout with Becky and Jon. He also got a few transitions with Danny and Brook at a Bath Upchuck, probably in 2019.
Wiebke’s Waltz
Wiebke’s Waltz is a Phoenician Waltz inspired take out pattern on a walking pps feed (the same base pattern as zippy)
It was developed and presented at the 2023 coastless con along with variants in the “wedding waltz” family.
In the pattern, the carry and steal of the subsequent substitution are replaced with a ‘clink’, to toast the Happy couple. This is followed by a phoenetitian waltz turn for another substitute, and a phoenetitian waltz style intercept in preparation for the next clink.
Phoenician Quickstep
Phoenician Quickstep is a variation on Phoenician Waltz with an extra club! This pattern was first juggled by Helene, Adrian and Cameron at BJC 2024
Göttinger Opernball
Göttinger Opernball is a variation on Phoenician Waltz with 2 extra manipulators! This pattern is invented in Göttingen.
4-count Roundabout
On this years Aichtal Juggling Convention “Juggling Resort” Juli, Simon and I decided to give a Roundabout Workshop. We thought a lot of jugglers there would like this workshop.
