This is a book for the complete beginner who wants to learn the basics of juggling. It examines the moves in gradual stages, starting with the correct way to stand and the proper throwing techniques. It then moves on to proficient juggling with three balls and juggling tricks. Step-by-step illustrations ensure the instructions are easily followed, while special effect photographs of jugglers in full flight show the correct techniques and the complex pattern of the balls, to help the novice juggler get the feel for different routines.
