Here are a few definitions that
may help you to understand juggling lingo used throughout
this site.
Synchronous,
sync
both hands throw at the same time (in synch beats)
Asynchronous, asynch
each hand throws and catches at a different time
(opposing beats)
Numbers Juggling
juggling more props than most jugglers
ever bother to learn. While this varies from juggler
to juggler, most jugglers consider 5+ props numbers
juggling, although purist sports jugglers don’t
consider someone to be a numbers juggler until they
are juggling at least 5 clubs or 7 balls.
Multiplex
Any Multiplex trick is simply based upon throwing
more than 1 ball at a time (which means you have
to not throw a ball at some point so that when that
hand catches another ball, there are 2 balls (or
more) to throw). This is intuitively easy to figure
out. If you result to performing such an easy trick,
you ought to catch at least 1 ball behind the back
or do something else extra tricky!
