Next add a second ball. Practice "One, Two, Catch." Throw one ball to the other hand and throw that hands ball just before catching the first. Practice catching with both your right and left hand.

I'll give it a try. Would be great if you had time to post a guide on how to juggle clubs. I'll definitely need some help :)

Clubs aren't that much harder than balls really. First step is to invest in a decent set of juggling clubs and just give it a go. ;)

Nice tutorial. It must be 20 years since I first learnt. I learnt 4 balls not long after but never really cracked 5 balls. I can also juggle clubs.

I learned 30 years ago, from a book. But, I still only juggle three. I can do some tricks, like juggling behind the back, and eating one of the apples I juggle (not at the same time, though!) ;)

That's a good one I forgot to add. Definitely imagine the square. I'll add it to the step.

This is the most important step in learning to juggle. Once you've mastered this you're 80% there

It can be helpful to imagine a square in front of you with your two hands at the bottom corners. Each hand throws its ball towards the opposite top corner. Take your time, there's no rush to throw the second ball.
