Click the fingers.
When I was attempting to learn five, I gave up very quickly because it's phenomenally difficult.
And I discovered that nobody in the juggling club actually juggled five.
But what they were doing were a variety of tricks with just three.
So I said to people, you know, show me, show me a trick with three.
Some of them were really clean and obvious.
But then they also started to do weird shapes in the air and patterns.
And there was one in particular, which is called Mill's Mess.
And when I went to try and write it down, I couldn't.
It was almost impossible to describe.
And when I finally did get a description, after a few days of working with one of the chaps, it took two and a half sides of A4.
And I thought, for a juggling trick that lasts for one second, there must be an easier way.
