In this article I am going to explain how to juggle 3 balls. then for.

First what you need is 4 balls that aren't too light, and don't bounce. Hacky Sacks work great.

Take two balls and put them in you hand, so one is in the palm of your hand and one is on your fingers near the tips.

What you need to practice is throwing ball one, then once it reaches its peak throw ball two. You are only allowed one ball in you hand at a time. There are two ways of doing this one way is this way. 1- balls peak

2^
<-hand->
As each ball reaches its peak, right before, you are moving your hand to catch the other one that is falling.

The other way is called the windmill. Its like the the way I just showed you, only instead of moving your hand and the balls side to side, you are going forward and back.

Now you don't really have to learn this if you only want to juggle 3 balls, but if you want to move on to four someday it those techniques will help a great deal, especially if you learn how to do it with both hands.

How to juggle three balls

Juggling three balls is simple enough. You place two balls in one hand with ball one near you finger tips, and ball two in the palm. (its easier if you put them in your writing hand.)Then place the third ball in your other hand, near your finger tips.

Next what you do is you take ball one and throw it into the air, not to high, but not to low. The higher it is the more time you have, but also the less control. Once ball one has reached its peak, you throw ball three into the air and catch ball one in the hand ball three was in. Once ball three reaches its peak, you throw ball two, and catch ball three in the hand ball two was in. Once ball two reaches its peak you throw ball one, and catch ball two in the hand that ball one was in. Then just keep repeating this pattern.

Don't be discouraged if you can't do it right away. It takes practice. I was able to do it a few times in a row within two days.

To Juggle Four Balls-

To juggle four balls all you have to do is select one of the techniques showed you earlier (the windmill) and do them in both hands at the same time. The balls never exchange hands.
