3-handed siteswaps are generated mostly the same way as 4-handed ones – just 1 hand always has a “0”. As 0 is an empty hand in siteswap, the hand with always 0 won’t do anything in the pattern. At the Israeli juggling convention in 2022, we had a very sad reason to develop the idea …

Mission Impossible Workshop

3rd July 201827th December 2016 by Juli

“Takeouts or stealing patterns have been around for a long time already and are still very popular.

‘Minis’ Workshop EJC Millstreet 2014

20th March 202218th August 2014 by Juli

There is a quite easy 4 club pattern for 2 people, 3p 2 2p 1 (“Benni”) which was also in the ‘Minis’ workshop at the 2014 Berlin convention. The second one is a much harder 5 club pattern for 2 people, 3p 1 2 4. For that one, I included 2 exercises in the video.
