Tutorial / Opinion Request: Essential 3 Ball Tricks

Yo! This video is for beginners I think, although your opinion is requested in the comment space below.

The request, as posed to me: What do you think are 3 essential tricks (with 3 balls) that every juggler should know? For various reasons, I struggled with this question but then ended on the following.

The split finger pause, the neckcatch, and 2-and-1 (aka synchronous columns).

Instruction for each is offered as well as ways to make these simple tricks even snazzier. Chapters will follow once this is published.

Thanks for sending me such cool requests, All!

-Chris

EVERY DAY IM JUGGLIN'

[ctjuggles]

@SKExotics oh yeah..

[Juggler1097]

I would have to say backcrosses, overheads, and mills mess; they are all pretty easy, look great, and can be combined other moves and higher numbers.

[ctjuggles]

@Juggler1097 BACKCROSSES... excellent call...

[FitZJuGGl3Z]

Chris, you don't look short and squatty, you look jacked :)

[ctjuggles]

@FitZJuGGl3Z Jacked = buff? Nah. But thanks!

[ctjuggles]

First comment! I rule the world!!!

mills mess, box, over head.!

and if you asked more , back crosses, and factory just for control ;)

[juggliac]

I'd say my favorite 3 unique tricks are 1. mills mess 2. factory 3. box

All 3 of these tricks I think represent 3 out of maybe 5 categories of trick styles that are possible, and have alot of variations, mills mess can lead you to rubenstein's and other "swirly" tricks, factory leads you to all sort of take-out and column patterns, and opens the doors to a lot of stop-motion looking and very interesting sharp, mechanical lookign tricks.

1 up 2 up, mills mess, and the shower would've been my guess..

[FlorianBluemel]

I'd say: Backcrosses, Mills Mess and Shower.

What else do you do becides juggling? 

[JuggleAddict]

O:-) Chris, is it bad that I have never done a neck catch? I may do a video response to this, it gave me too many ideas ^_^

[JuggleAddict]

@Juggler1097 oh dear. . . I can run backcrosses with clubs all day long, but can't get more than 3 or 4 throws with balls. ^_^ perhaps I have neglected 3 ball? . . . I have neglected 3 ball.
