Dingman's manual of club passing is THE reference on the subject. Needless to say, to pass, you need at least 2 jugglers who are well beyond the stage what the "how to" beginner's books teach. Club passing is fun, dynamic and interactive which is a balance to the tendancy for many serious jugglers to spend hours alone perfecting their technique. Without trying to sound too esoteric, juggling and especially passing is an ideal sport that teaches coordination, timing and cooperation rather than competition while being entertaining without violence or injury. Juggling, especially passing, is difficult to bring over in a book since neither words nor diagrams can adequately describe movement. Tips on what is possible and how difficult, however, save a lot of time and frustration. This book does better than most in it's clarity. Even for professionals or any group e.g. clubs, schools etc. involved in juggling, this is a valuable reference book as basics and solo tricks can be learned (relatively) easily from another even intermediate-level juggler, trial and error or any number of books.
