After someone asking how to learn Mill's mess this is a way I find
effective when teahing it.
i) Start with two ball is your right hand and one in your left. The
arms are crossed with the right over the left.
ii) Throw the first ball from the right hand 'backwards' up towards
the right shoulder.
iii) Uncross your arms and throw the ball from the left hand
straight up.
iv) cross your arms again but with the left over the right. throw the
final ball from the right hand straight up. Catch the first ball in
your left hand.
v) Catch the other two balls in your right.
vi) Stop
You should end up with two balls in your right hand and one in
your left. Your arms will be crossed with the left arm over the right.
Go through the above steps a few times untill you can do it
consistantly and the do it starting with two in your left hand. The
steps above are identical except left and right are reversed.
When you can do it both ways, start off as usual but when you
catch the first ball which was thrown 'backwards', throw it back the
other way. You end up with one ball going backwards and forwards on
the same path, being caught with your arms crossed, and caught by the
hand on top.
Hope this helps.
