How to juggle and learn tricks
From your first throw to five ball juggling. Taught by pro circus juggler Daniel Tamariz.
What you need to start juggling
Three balls, and enough room to stand with your arms out. That is it.
Start with beanbags - soft balls that stay where they drop. Not bouncy balls. Not apples. You want to be juggling, not chasing stuff across the room.

Juggling questions
The three ball pattern everyone learns first. Each ball is thrown from one hand to the other and crosses under the one coming the other way. It is the best known juggling trick there is.
The first throw is easy. Holding a cascade takes practice, and what speeds it up is doing it daily and getting the basics right.

It depends on how often you pick the balls up. You can learn the essential throws in minutes, and if you do not stop there, a 3 ball cascade takes an hour or an afternoon.
Start with three matching balls. The Starter Juggling Set has three beanbags and a pouch for 19,99 €, which is the cheapest way to get to a solid cascade. Single Starter Juggling Balls are 6,99 € if you would rather build up.
You can, but they bounce and roll, so you will spend more time chasing them than juggling. We recommend starting with beanbags - they are soft, easy to catch even for kids, and they land flat.
Work the list on this page in order. It is a progression - the one ball throws teach your hands what the two ball exchange needs, and the exchange is what makes the cascade possible. The SkillAddicts app has a video tutorial for every trick and a structured learning system.
Four balls juggling is not three plus one. It is a different pattern - two balls in each hand, thrown in a fountain rather than crossed. Five goes back to a cascade, but fast. Both need matched balls.
Yes. You do not need a class or a partner, just three balls, a bit of room and something to follow. That is what we created the SkillAddicts app for, and every trick in it is taught by circus juggler Daniel Tamariz.
