TRICKS

The three ball cascade soon loses it's fascination - you need something more challenging, but four balls is maybe one too many at the moment. Here are a few tricks to get you on your way.

HANDY HINTS before you start - by throwing the balls higher you give yourself more time for difficult maneuvers. Always practice tricks with your left and right hand.

• opening move - throw two balls simultaneously from the same hand, when they peak introduce the third ball as usual.

• The Fountain - throw one ball vertically, as it peaks, throw the other two in high arcs so they cross paths as they peak.

• Ping-Pong - try throwing over each ball instead of under for this little number

• The Circle - a very effective move, and takes quick hands.
