In Numbers Juggling, we saw how toss jugglers tend to strike upon a combination of increased throw rate and increased throw height to toss juggle…
The need to compare the relative difficulty of different juggling patterns arises in several contexts. For example, the Library of Juggling has arranged tricks by…
“These three words represent a programme of moral beauty. The aesthetics of sport are intangible.” Pierre de Coubertin, Founder of the International Olympic Committee “How…
During his investigations into methods for generating symmetric passing patterns, Cristophe Prechac came across a March 1994 post by Tarim titled “A new class of…
An elegant method for generating symmetric passing patterns from “solo” patterns was proposed by French mathematician and juggler Cristophe Prechac in a post on rec.juggling…
The Multi Hand Notation (MHN) invented by Ed Carstens can handle all the juggling patterns we have discussed so far in this blog series. We…
In part I, we mainly studied two-handed vanilla juggling patterns (one hand throwing one object at a time) in which the “assumptions of convenience” were…
Vanilla siteswap sequences are used to represent vanilla juggling patterns[1] which involve at most one object being thrown at a time. This notation wasn’t meant…
“Although there is nothing in our idealized setup that requires two hands, or even “hands” at all, we note that in the usual two-handed juggling…
The representation of transitions between asynchronous and synchronous juggling patterns using siteswap notation often leads to some confusion. The confusion is primarily caused by trying…
