  I am currently working on 4 and 5 balls: I have got the hang of the
pattern with 4, I just need to practice. A lot. I find that my hands
have a tendency to `rotate' - the left comes in, the right goes out a
bit. Any tips on preventing this? I have tried to slow the pattern
down, and practice each hand seperately when I find this happening...
or will it come with practice?
  I read with interest the juggling help files on 5 balls; I have a
few comments of my own I could add when I get slightly better, that is
of course if there is any interest out there...

  Last night we practised passing balls (I am currently living with 2
other jugglers... very handy! :-) I would like to know is there a name
for the pattern we made, I have a copy of The Complete Juggler (Dave
Finnigan) but it wasn't mentioned in there...
  Stand in a line, each person has 2 balls, with an extra ball at one
end. (ie, 2 balls in an end hand, 1 ball in each of all the other
hands) Then the balls get shifted one hand along by throwing, with
reflection at the ends. ie, as a ball is about to land in a hand, the
ball currently in that hand gets thrown along in the same direction as
the incoming ball. With only 2 balls, the end person who just passed
to the next along has a while before their next turn: I tried eating
an apple during this break - the resulting noise and mess damn near
drove us to tears laughing :-)
  We then tried this in a circle (or as near to a circle you can get
with 3 people!), with occasional (announced) reversals of direction.
This got me to thinking, could this be made into a simple game?
Randomly changing direction with people who drop leaving the circle...
Hmm I wonder...

Regards,
Stephen
