Follow About and Head-and-Shoulders

This pattern is a slight variation of the classic 4-count Roundabout with Doppelgänger. However, instead of both manipulators entering the pattern simultaneously from opposite sides, they enter one after the other from the same side. This creates an interesting “triangle” on one side of the pattern, where clubs are passed from B to M to N. It is easy and quick to learn if you already know the classic 4-count Roundabout.

This idea was “invented” independently by multiple groups. As far as I was able to reconstruct, it was juggled by people from Unisport Lüneburg, the Hamburg group, and jugglers from Köln. While the first two derive the same version, the people from Köln created an interesting variation, in which the club is placed between the shoulder and the head of the next manipulator.
