Reverse cascade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reverse cascade is a juggling pattern which is the reverse of the basic juggling cascade. The pattern is performed with an odd number of props. As in the cascade, props are thrown from alternating hands and each prop is caught in the opposite hand from which it was thrown.

While in a cascade objects are caught on the outside of the pattern (on the far left and right) and thrown from closer to the middle of the pattern, in a reverse cascade the opposite is the case. In the reverse cascade, objects are caught near the middle of the pattern, and thrown from the outside. The hands move to the middle to catch, and then to the outside to throw. Thus the left hand moves in a clockwise motion, and the right hand in a counterclockwise motion.

The reverse cascade is generally considered to be more difficult to perform than the cascade.
