I taught myself in junior high to juggle three balls with two hands and two balls with one hand. It's not a huge accomplishment but what amazes me is that I can go years without trying it and when an opportunity comes up I can just do it again, within just a couple of tries. Those neuronal connections just never go away.

Learn to juggle two balls with the other hand and you are half way to 4 (which is two in each hand out of sync)

  • Out of curiosity - can you juggle four balls?

    I can, but I wouldn't describe having two two-ball capable hands as being half-way there. If forced to put a number on it, something like 20% is the best I could do.

    • Sure! Juggle two in dominant hand. Then two in weak hand. Then two plus one both ways round, then 4. That's how I used to teach people anyway. Balls go up on the inside and down on the outside. For most people two really well in non dominant hand is the hard part.

  • I may try that. I can do two balls in either hand already. I just never tried doing it in both hands at once.

    Strangely even though I'm right-handed I feel more comfortable juggling two in my left hand. I also bat and golf left-handed so sometimes I wonder if my parents forced right-handedness was on me.
