Stand still and juggle 3 balls
03.08.09
If you have just learned to juggle 3 balls and find yourself continually walking forward as you juggle, it’s just natural. Others have gone before you doing the same. It will come to an end, and you will learn to stand still and juggle. But in the meantime try standing in front of a wall or cupboard door as you juggle. Try not to hit the door or wall with your juggling balls. It’s a brain trick. Put up a barrier and your brain will try not to hit it, encouraging you to throw the juggling balls in front of you instead of out. Another good idea is to go back a step, say to Step 9 of the Juggling Brain video, and practice juggling two balls in one hand, positioned in the juggler’s stance, as described in Step 7. (See post ‘Perfect Balance for Juggling‘) Just do it in the juggler’s stance and it will become automatic as you are learning to juggle.
Be Bold !
The Masked Jugglers
When trying to juggle three balls you need colours that catch your eye. Vibrant colours you can see easily and clearly. Bold colours such as red, green, blue, and orange are easily seen. With single colours you can spot and say the colour as you are learning to juggle. Or if someone is teaching you, the teacher can say throw the red, then green, then gold ball in sequence. It is better to have ball colour different from walls or ceiling if you are juggling inside. The juggling ball is easier to see and catch when it stands out from the wall colour.
