It's a masterful performance, because he's giving a mathematical lecture in its own terms but all the while breaking into skilled juggling - and it all flows so well. The juggling supports/motivates the ideas and the ideas then makes the juggling even more watchable. It's like when teachers use 'affect'. Shame he can't cram it into 18 minutes eh?
at 41:10 minute mark Allen is asked about the rhythm of a pattern. Some throws will sound different, loud 1's etc, but the rhythm is always even. The pattern shouldn't speed up or slow down. Each throw should occur evenly timed from the previous one. Some patterns are easier to juggle uneven, 51 for example, but from a siteswap point of view they should all be even.
Ok you could do 3,3,3 in a manner where you throw all the balls before the first one lands but later for example in the 661515 the first 6 does not land after the other throws have been made
Alan, what does "NYU Witchcraft" mean? Is that a trick? Sincerely, Josh.

@tsukiini It's based on the number of balls thrown before a ball is caught from the same hand it was thrown from
