How to Entertain a Juggler

by Jono

These notes will be hidden in your presentation, but you can see them if you open the speaker notes window (hit 's' on your keyboard). When you hear of a juggler, you probably think of this guy. This guy is cool, but there's more to juggling.

what    who    where    why    how

To illustrate some of the different types of juggling, let look at ....

what?

Different things you can juggle

who?

Human scale prototype for BugJuggler, a Car Juggling Robot https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/958028900/human-scale-prototype-for-bugjuggler-a-car-jugglin

where?

why?

Combat

World Juggling Federation Rules combat

how?

there are a lot of nerdy jugglers out there so you can find papers like this writen over the years Or this one from PLOS: Behavioral Impact of Unisensory and Multisensory Audio-Tactile Events: Pros and Cons for Interlimb Coordination in Juggling

Siteswaps

lets step back. juggling started a long time ago... 2000BC?

rec.juggling

newsgroup started in 1991. people wanted to share juggling patterns.

State transition diagrams

many juggling notations were tried. some were more effective then others

Causal diagram

(3 ball cascade) take 3 different colored balls and walk forward. take a time lapse from the ceiling.

Siteswap notation

3 the same pattern can be compressed into a simple series of numbers

"Siteswaps" idea

use numbers to record only the orderthe balls are thrown and caught

show cascade, reverse cascade, mills mess

Vanilla siteswaps

  • two hands
  • alternate throws from each hand
  • only one ball in a hand at a time
show that multiplexes and simuls dont count
  • 1 = pass [between hands]
  • 2 = hold [one hand/no toss]
  • 3 = (3-ball) cascade toss [between hands]
  • 4 = (4-ball) fountain toss [into same hand]
  • 5 = high toss [between hands]

= 3 balls= 3 balls= 3 balls= 3 balls= 3 balls= 4 balls= 5 balls

Make your own siteswaps

its fun!

Property

odd number of steps = symetrical pattern

Theorem

number of balls in the pattern =

average of the throws

pattern average ball count
3441441351531535
3 / 1(4 + 4 + 1) / 3(4 + 4 + 1 + 3) / 4(5 + 1) / 2(5 + 3 + 1) / 3(5 + 3) / 25 / 1
= 3 balls= 3 balls= 3 balls= 3 balls= 3 balls= 4 balls= 5 balls
Is 631 a siteswap?

(6 + 3 + 1) / 3 = 3.3333333 balls

Nope

Chocolate siteswaps?

  • synchronous
  • multiplexes
  • composites
  • orbits
  • generations
  • orientations
  • adding hands
those are the basics, but that is only the begining.

Passing

Multijuggler Causal Diagram

passing causal diagrams
First there was "every others"

Siteswap notation: <3p333:3p333>

show joepass pattern. explain "every others" name. this is the default patern that people do when they juggle together. 100% of passers know how to do it. any ideas how this can be made more interesting?
Simul Squirrel Why not / popcorn feed

Passing demos

joepass controls: (tip, use a mouse for right click menus) a = open file 6 = slow down w = close window W = show causal window backup if joepass does not work:2 person rhythms (diagrams only)weave, havanasix person movement
