Mills Mess Tutorial

[TheSuburbansniper]

cheers this tricks been annoying me for ages but you could do with it either being slowed down or longer for each section

[MovieMakerInTheMakin]

If you put it full screen mode and hold down space it goes slow motion. Not very good quality though.

Awesome vid by the way! You broke it down really well and I think I might just understand it now! Thanks! :D

[tal500]

Thanks! I never got this mills mess, you've explained it good.

[pedro395171]

Good, I learn it in 2 days with this video, but its too fast! I learn because I have an Ipod so I can see in slow-motion, please, put your next videos with slow motion.

Thumbs up if you agree with me.

[JoshGoddardx]

I can't learn anything from this video, too fast

[PaintingHeartsBLACK]

@JoshGoddardx agreed



[noahsanchez21]

the only thing is that you should have done each step twice or three times they went to fast

[DriftStreet88]

i agree this is the tutorial that got me learning mill mess. the 3 ball 1 round says it all about mill mess . one round is jus a mirror of the current n so on. well done

[cowchickenpig99]

This trick messes with my head!!!!! well done to anyone who has conquered it :)

nice vid.

[korlaeda]

Thanks a lot. It really helps going through it step by step, begining with one ball, especially for tricks in which the usual "watch whole pattern in slo-mo and try to repeat" doesn't work. This is one of that kind. Sorry for my english=)

[brendano221]

Great steps to learn mills mess but I had to keep going back and pausing because it's not slowed down to see which hand is catching and throwing. Still I'm managing to do that fine and I'm mastering the 2 ball steps atm before I move onto the 3 ball steps. Hopefully I'll be doing the mills mess kinda good by next week.

[tpulley]

That's a good demonstration! Not to be ungrateful, I point this out a lot whenever I see it. Interlaced video was great for the purpose it was originally designed for: low-quality phosphorous on crt tube tv's. It's really easy to deinterlace video for web with a lot of different video programs. Okay, I clicked "like" for you having to put up with this comment :)

[Aitamen]

awesome... needed this, thanks!

[DjRedzhog]

yea the 3 ball one round is the hardest part, I had to train that a longer time but now i,m actually think I've got it, thanks for the awsome turorial anyway :D

[plessans]

Wow! This has been an incredibly effective way of learning Mill's Mess. I found this video yesterday and now I'm up to step 9. Thanks! Step 9 is a bit sloppy right now, but that'll get cleaned up by practicing more.

[shibalover25]

wow.. this is not help full at all??? how r u supposed to learn if you show it so fast and only one time and you don't even talk.. wow

[plessans]

@shibalover25 So what you have to realize is that this is a 180 degree view of what the juggler (you) will see, but that goes for all juggling videos where the performer is directly facing the camera. What I did was pause the video in the middle of each motion that I didn't understand and tracked each ball to see which hand it landed in.

[AKDiamond157]

Ouch... my arms. First time I've tried MM. I'll post a video response soon. Thanks!

[ViktorBluhme]

I can do every step until the three ball one round.. I can only do half a round. And I've tried so hard to get it.. :( Any tips?

[noneck1985]

To get a smooth pattern you have to move your hands a little to the outside after the overhand catch before you throw it back into the pattern.

Maybe this will make it easier for you to throw the first ball of the second round past the last ball of the first round. Because of the seperated practice of "the halfes" you are used to catch the balls after each round. So keep practicing and try to concentrate onto the throw which connects the two turns.

Good luck.

[ViktorBluhme]

Thanks for the tip. I've been trying for some time now, and I'm getting used to throwing that third ball. And actually I think im doing the Mills Mess right now.. For two or three rounds at least. :)

[hugegiantfrogs]

@ViktorBluhme i learned mills mess by watching videos about 5 years ago, and for me, a slow motion video helped a lot, and simultaneous practice. lots of practice, i had to drop 5000 times before i could finally do it solid.

[ViktorBluhme]

@hugegiantfrogs Oh I've been able to do this for the past half year or so :)

[earthgas3000]

°thnx u so much this is the best tutorial ever.finaly learned Mills Mess.Would be perfect if starting from 2balls all be in slow motion =)

[noneck1985]

@thejugglingfool you're welcome to post tips. just do it, but stop refering to your profile. -_-

[thejugglingfool]

i would have liked to actually post a vid with more tips but my computer is screwed... =]

[Leolmlr]

good tutorial, i think it would help if you showed each step at least twice, perhaps the second time in slow motion. and definitely would help if you used three different colour balls, to make it easier to follow where each ball goes, but apart from that, great.

[EarthIsExplodingLive]

yes! finally i leard it!

[1234beta1234]

wow = )

this video really helped me ;-)

i learned it in a few minutes ...

please make the videos a bit longer, so you cn follow the catches ;-)

[MrTravy]

This guy sure seems like the life of ANY party.

: )

Seriously, thanks for the tut.

[libtechsk8er]

After all hope was nearly gone, I finally learned Mill's Mess after carefully following the instructions on bogleg (dot) com/jag/mills (dot) html Im so excited!! I am going to make a video of me doing Mill's Mess at 240fps with the high speed feature on my camera.

[potzie83]

thanks for the link!

the combination of seeing it and reading the instructions really does the trick

(-looking forward to that video...)

[monkeybro10]

i didnt get it

[thejugglingfool]

good job i learned this is 5 mins cause of you

[chloep49]

Good ! :) and thank you !

[xenomann442]

Kay I can do 3balls first half and 3 balls second half pretty smoothly. But I can't do the actual mills mess, I always have to catch 2 balls in one hand before I can go again. HELP anyone.

[alfiedabomb]

this is exactly the same as me I cant get the two halves into each other :(

[noneck1985]

after practicing step by step you are used to catch the balls after each round... only way to beat this habit is to keep practicing the whole pattern... may start with 1st half and add 1 throw then catch... add 2 throws... and so on.

good luck.

[MATSO1000]

is this the proper way 2 do it cause i watched a tutorial and he did it different than that

[noneck1985]

the final pattern is definitely the proper way to do it... the steps to explain the pattern may differ by each tutorial.

Do you have a link to this tutorial?

[MATSO1000]

its the 1 from draitube i thhink its diferent

[noneck1985]

i watched it and the pattern is the same. seems not as smooth as it could be.... but he has tons of mills mess variations tutorials... maybe you watched one of these. that could explain why a pattern looks different. the proper one is the 2nd Tutorial.

[Jammy7797]

nice tutorial favourited

[blakehutube]

ayyyyyyyyy! 0:18 seconds.

ahaha, i laughed.

[aznxdingaling]

u look so emotionless lol

[uniac]

great stuff thx a lot

[noneck1985]

just keep practicing

[edgeofchaos101]

FUCKIN BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!

i learnt it in one hour

cheers!

[metallicaimortal]

cool! this will help me a lot! =D

[zz8w]

need slow motion....

[zz8w]

well it wil be better with some music :D

[pirocan1]

its easier if you learn the half shower first.

[musicaljuggler]

Thankyou, very useful. I learnt Mills Mess from this! It was the basis for most other tricks I now know

[allsoppy5]

why is this marked down??!! it is positive about the video

[maskedhedgehog]

took me a while to learn it, but now I've got it! thanks a lot for your help.

[automatic91]

sheesh!!! mills mess is so hard!!

[gnomedork]

Pretty nice man. Slow motion would've been nice, but you broke it down really nicely. Thanks  XD

[shitingham]

i can do the 3 balls part one and 2 but i cant continue on from one to the other and get a complete pattern going

can sum1 help me out?

[megamelonman]

learn the mirror of what you can do (start with the other hand) and then you will get it

[pwinator]

Great video big THX for this !

[rubrbandball]

Definitely a great tutorial. I am both working on my juggling and trying to learn how to teach people better. Breaking it down into small parts is a very good strategy.

Btw the biggest obstacle for me was doing the 2 balls second step. I would keep throwing same ball to same hand.

[pwlaslo]

I got it! I went right to "two balls third step", then "three balls first half", then "three balls second half", then "three balls complete pattern".

The hardest part is putting the whole thing together. It took me a week off and on to get it nice! Maybe I would have done it faster if I didn't skip a step.

But very nicely done, thank you!

Also, use the pause button if you are trying to learn it's very helpful here!

[C0cokis]

THANKS love you!. but smile :D, yes i agree with voltagraphy, slow motion wouldnt hurt xD

[tidilu]

Thanks for you tutorial, I'm a boss of mill's mess now

Thanks, if you have other movie of juggling, i'm present

PS: sorry for my english because i'm french ;)

[rippedwrangler]

Stein, thanks for posting this. It took me about 2 weeks to learn the 3B cascade (I'm not real coordinated), but between this video and the expertvillage Mills Mess tutorials, I was able to get this in about a week. Of course my form is still a little spastic and it will take a lot more practice to smooth it out to look better, but at least I can keep them in the air (well, most of the time anyway).

[kallfil]

The BEST mills mess tutorial on youtube! Thanks so much:)

[0megamanX]

omfg i just did my first round of Mills Mess. this is by far the best tutorial for mm on youtube.

[risedson]

the best tutorialll

i learn from this too

thankss

[Voltagraphy]

Best mills mess tutorial there is right now. Slow motion wouldn't hurt.

[finewines]

Thanks for this, been trying to learn it for a while but i think i've got it now!

[tehwoodcuter]

thank you very much!!! u helped me on my way to MM =) subscribed

[rtslashiepoo]

i cant get it!

[rippedwrangler]

Maybe you're trying to rush the process. Practice each step until you get it down pat before you move on to the next stage. If you're still having problems, give it 2 or 3 weeks,practicing every day.Sometimes the brain just needs some time to make new connections between neurons, then one day you suddenly find that you can do it. I find juggling and learning complicated guitar and banjo licks and riffs to be similar; if you plug away at it consistently,the day comes when you can suddenly do it.

[artofillusion0]

learned it from this, thanks for it

[regingeddes]

i am an ok juggler, and i tried to learn this trick but never could :(

[readabook37]

it is diffucult to learn but i did it there should be more demonstrations

[Synz321]

I learned it but I agree with confirmbirthdate that slowmotion could be alot better for understanding.

[mindset36]

i remeber seeing this 9 months ago and i learned it in 3 days than burkes barrage in two i can also juggle 5 a little

[confirmbirthdate]

i need slow motion and much more times....!!!

[JuggalosJuggling]

urs is rly clean yo nice

[Taco2k7]

thanks man, really nice tutorial.

[LukeyDJJones]

thats sickhead mate

[NikeRS300]

OMG thanks alot first time i could understand how to do mills mess thank alot best tutorial ever seen

[smitty747]

Excellent job young man. Best Mills Mess demo I've seen on here yet. Now I understand the pattern; can't do it yet, but I understand the pattern. I hope you share more tricks on here.

[noneck1985]

i just create vids if i think that there isn't an good instruction on the usual online sources.

When i started with mills mess i hardly found any clear vids... only text instructions and rly short clips. Finally i got it after buying charley dancey's ball encyclopedia.

Thats the only reason why i've done this.

[eyox88]

thx dude was watching for this trick i saw it someone doing but didn't know how to start learning it but now i know ;) btw nice movement of the balls they are flowing

[Fuliginosus]

Having watched your video, I find it amazingly easy!

[Rockeuzzz67]

Thank you !!

[ZioStabby]

what is the address of Bumfild, the shop wich sells the beanbags??? Please tell me the Bumfild's address because i'll go to Vienna and probably i'll buy the beanbags... they are better than the tennis ball... please give me this piece of information!!! You are the best juggler in vienna

[noneck1985]

i sent you a pm.

you ll find them them too, if you google for "bumfidl".

[laksefiske]

Looks friggin easy, But i have already pratised the one ball for 15 minutes:P

[McTo1]

Thank you, i watched this video and i just suddenly got it!

[JugglingLautaro]

I learnt MM with this video thanks, oh, next time put some music!

[ZioStabby]

where did you buy the beanbag??? nice video =)

[noneck1985]

there is a shop in vienna called bumfidl.

u can also find them online.

[taavi62]

Thank you, i learned mill's mess by watching your tutorial.

[Buetti23]

very good video. every tutorial should be like this. step by step. would be great if you would make some more tuts ;)

[666DeViLeSs]

Great.. Thanks..

One query.. What have most jugglers got against speaking?!

Step-by-Step spoken instructions would have been great...

Thanks so much anyways..

Appriciate your time and effort...X

[Ramon31415]

Great job, much better than the fluxusmaximus' tutorial on this trick. I don't know if I'm doin' it properly though, I'm gonna make a juggling video with balls in a few days, so I'd like u to check, if I'm doing it right, could u?

[noneck1985]

yea, no problem. just send me a msg and i'll check the video.

[Kiti2007jordan]

you are left-handed and it's much more harder for me to do what you do beacuse I'm left handed too, and I got used to do the movements as I was looking in a mirror to the videos with right-handed people.

[noneck1985]

i'm right handed. i've been using my right hand since i was born 22 years ago. ;)

i don't know why you think i'm left handed.

[franuco]

thanks, it's really usefull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[filter986]

dude your the best... you take it so slow each part i didnt get some parts but it all started to connect when i got to 3 balls thank you so much you helped me out so bad... i think i should change my name i just made it cause its youtube and i didnt care but i want to make vids thanks alot :) juggle pro

[kaijjutin]

THANKS!!!I learn miles mess!!!

[RedmerJ]

Damn this is a freaking good video, only like everybody says:P next time put some slow motion in ;)

[napoleontas008]

A great tutorial, but a bit fast. Good work..

[3dib]

great video, great steps. but goes way too fast! slowdown, or show more repeats.. looking forward to see your other tutorials!

[thakewlness]

OMG! 2 hours since ive posted, I can now do the Mills Mess!!!! :D

thanks soooo much dude ;)

[thakewlness]

nice vid, but it goes to fast :<

having some slowmo parts in it would make it much clearer :)

thanks for the vid has helped me a lot ^^

[VictoryCube]

I would just like to thank the creator of this video. I was able to learn Mills mess in about 3 hrs after going slowly, piece by piece with this video. AWESOME.

[Silvatikus]

He flips you with talent.

[sinppa]

I think it is. I just got false shower going to both ways, and all of a sudden I also "learned" mills mess :P Or at least something very similar, it not the real deal :)

[VoKuHiLa123]

is it right that a mills mess is just making a false shower and then swapping the sides?

[themusician31]

Yes. But I learned false shower after mills mess :) I learned this pattern throw by throw i.e. first a reverse cascade type throw, then an under arm ball over that last ball, then an over the top throw from the other hand as the hands uncross. Just those three throws, then it's repeated with the opposite hands.

[VoKuHiLa123]

great video but i'm gettin in trouble with 2 balls step 2 everything else is fine...

some tips?

[zz8w]

me too, i think we should skip to other steps then if 3 balls not working we revise only this step a lot then try 3 balls.

[megdondero]

This is a really great video. Thanks.

[TheDuckOfOz]

no matter how many times i watch mills mess i don't understand

[TheToaster555]

I THINK i have it... is there anyway to tell for sure that i'm doing it right? i mean i can do all the three ball steps and stuff but im not sure if once i have the continuous pattern going whether i have it or not...

[noneck1985]

A good possibilty to judge your own pattern is to record yourself doing it and than check (compare it with other mm vids) the replay or upload the video.

[nikoonz]

thnx.. i know how to do but for the begginers...

[SirWojak]

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks. I got the link to your tutorial from jugglingdb. And I was able to learn Mills Mess in one day. I started on Saturday morning, and was able to do the full thing by the late afternoon. Thank you for the step by step instructions, those really helped me. :)

[ladybeige]

Hey, Just wanted to say thaks, i learnt the mills mess in one night. Admitedly it was the winter solstes so it was a really really long night but still, props, and thanks

[razasaghar]

Thanks for such a detailed and systematic approach to mills mess technique

[exterminatetraitors]

I learned Mills Mess from your video a couple months ago. Sorry it took me so long to thank you. I got caught up in the fun racist stuff for a while. Now I am back to juggling. By the way, where are the black jugglers?

No reason I can't combine my interests.

[absolutemisfortune]

it took me a day to figure this out u need slow motion, and repeated scenes but other then that good jorb

[moff3tt]

Thanks, I learned Mill's Mess very quickly with your clear video tutorial!

[addwadads]

Ive been wondering how the hell to do this for ages. THnak you so much!

[S0rincha]

great vid, really ^^ this looks so easy xD lol i'm training hard on the 4th step atm (i had to have a break, to bent to pick up the balls is so annoying :p)

thanks for this video =)

[major198]

Damn, this video is clear about it, but I keep trying and this shit trick still doenst work with me. I think im going to quit juggling and become a full time manwhore !

[meesta11]

Thanks for this! I can't wait to go home and practice!

[meesta11]

And now I too can do mills mess! Thanks again!

[sleight000]

wicked vid!! i can now do mills mess..Woo! lol

[paulwashere89]

mills mess is beastly nice one mate :D

[laurie121212]

Thank you so much for this video, I couldn't figure mills mess out until now.
