Here's a simple way to get started. This pattern of juggling is known as cascade juggling. Right-handed people should start with two balls (tennis balls or something smaller) in the right hand and one in the left. (Left-handed people should reverse all the d-irections in this article.) From your right hand, throw ball I up and slightly across so you will be able to catch it with your le ft hand. Throw it up to about eye level. When ball I reaches its high point, throw up ball 2 from your left hand, across to the right hand. Toss up ball 3 as soon as 2 reaches its high .point. Keep it going!
