Juggling 1-2-3

by Henrik Lind

Dazzle your friends with the coolest juggling moves. Packed with full-color photos, this easy-to-follow guide begins with basic techniques and works up to more adventurous tricks. After you've purchased the right balls and clubs, or made your own, you're ready to master the three-ball cascade and its variations. With these fundamentals in your repertoire, you're ready to take on new challenges, including "splitting the brain" and "the multiplex." Progress to classic tricks like the "yo-yo," which gives the illusion that an invisible string is connecting the balls, or the hilarious looking "penguin." As you become even more advanced, you can add more balls, juggle clubs, and pass to a partner, as well as try contact juggling where you roll the ball on your body. With plenty of practice, and the expert guidance here, you'll soon reap the wonderful rewards of juggling.

This book has some interesting new ideas about the teaching of Juggling, and about what it means to be a Juggler.
Notably, author Henrik Lind starts off nearly from page one by teaching Siteswap Notation even before offering instruction in the Three-Ball Cascade. This approach is unique and perhaps risky, as my mind, which is capable of Juggling Nine Balls, finds the subject of Juggling Siteswaps beyond its grasp. More accurately, Siteswap drives me crazy!
This is a good book, though, with more detailed instruction than in most other such instructional Juggling tomes. Juggling 1-2-3 might be best experienced in conjunction with personal instruction from an experienced Juggler, but it certainly broaches some complicated material with a positive spirit and some good clarity.
