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…
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…
We have now learnt how to represent asynchronous (vanilla and multiplex) and two-handed synchronous (including synchronous multiplex) juggling patterns in siteswap notation. A juggling performance…
As discussed in Siteswap Notation IV, at a given beat, H hands could be throwing N objects simultaneously. We said that a synchronous throw occurs…
