I fucking love juggling. Done it forever.
My best tip for learning is to visualise a portrait-oriented picture frame in front of you. Throw from one hand to the opposite top corner of the frame. When that ball peaks at the top of the frame throw the ball from the other hand to the opposite corner. Repeat.
Oh and tilt your shoulders back/lean slightly back otherwise you’ll find yourself following the cascade around the place everywhere.
Once it clicks a basic cascade is as easy as scratching your arse. Once you realise how long each ball is in the air for it gets easier. Most beginners just panic and throw everything too fast.
The softer and less ‘filled’ your balls are at first the easier it’ll be as you can catch a bit easier than hard ones...
