Well, after 10+ years of 3-balls/hula hoops/pieces of fruit/bean bags/
spatulas, et cetera, I've finally graduated to 4.  No, all you 4-object
wannabes, it's not THAT hard, I just never sat down and decided to learn
how to do 4, like I did when I taught myself 3.  But, last week I made
four square bean bags (with real beans), and then taught myself a few
4-object tricks.

On to the learning part:

I could do two objects in my right hand masterfully.
I could do two objects in my left hand skillfully.
I could not perform the two feats synchronously, asynchronously, or at all.

This went on for several days, then two days ago everything started working.
4-bag columns, asynchronous 2-bag showers in each hand, and the like.  I am
disappointed that I didn't bother to learn beyond 3 before this.  Now I am
contemplating cutting another bag or two of material out of that old pair
of jeans...

Just wanted to share that success story with you all!

:)
