  Juggling Tricks
While some jugglers focus primarily on numbers juggling (juggling as many objects at once as possible) and stick to the standard patterns (the cascade for odd numbers and the fountain for even numbers), far more jugglers are interested in learning many different tricks and patterns.
Chops, backcrosses and the Boston Mess all have the same siteswap as a cascade (3), serving as reminder that there's a wide range of possibilities for variation with any siteswap.
While juggling 3 balls, one is always thrown under-the-arm by one hand and thrown from the outside ("over the top") with the other, so it loops around the rest of the pattern.

Many circus jugglers and "new vaudevillians" who learned to juggle in the 1960s and I early '70s learned a "3-3-10," which is three passes on a 6-count, three on a 4-count, and ten on a 2-count.
The Ks are known for juggling strange items, both in their set routines and in their signature "Gamble," in which the audience challenges them with items, but their off-stage prop history is equally strange.
There is little solo juggling in Karamazov shows; they excel at ensemble juggling, and their creation process, while not all group-generated is all group approved: "Everything," says Paul, "has to be agreed on by everyone." Everyone participates in the whole process, but each member's strengths are apparent.

 Chops
the chop is actually, believe it or not, a throw UNDER the opposite arm, except that the emphasis is not on the throwing arm (or club), but rather on the opposite arm under which you are throwing, which is holding a club, and which will be the next throw.
chops look great when the knees are bent a bit, legs wide, and shoulders square.
about chop throws: it helps to throw the club at a *slight* angle-- so that the plane the club SPINS in, rather than being exactly vertical, is cocked slightly to the right.

Nah, this is just the way that chops always used to be caught.

For instance, most jugglers until about 12 years ago threw chops and shoulder throws to be caught as high as regular passes, and they were designed to be caught upside-down.
