Passing (juggling)

Passing (juggling)

Passing is the act of juggling between more than one person. It is a very social part of juggling and is very impressive to watch. It is possible to pass with any juggling prop, but passing with club is very popular. This is because clubs have a handle, making it easy to catch a club which has been correctly thrown to you, and club passing looks more impressive.

In general, two people face each other a few metres apart, each holding three clubs. On a signal, both start juggling in time with each other. To pass, each replaces a normal throw to themselves directly across to the other person. Both people do this at the same time, for example with their right hand, and then receive the incoming pass with their left hand. From the point of view of their pattern, the incoming pass behaves exactly as if they had thrown it themselves.
