My Siteswap List

Ever since I first discovered the Juggle Master animator way back in 1998, I have been fascinated by siteswaps. I downloaded Ben Beever's book as soon as I could, and I began working through all of them with my trusty animator to find patterns that were cool, symmetrical, or both. I also spent some time digging through Charlie Dancey's Siteswap Appendix at the back of his Encyclopaedia of Ball Juggling. I am a firm believer that Sean Gandini's The Siteswap DVD is an absolute masterpiece--a true magnum opus. I treasure his Siteswap Cards, that he has so generously given to me on TWO separate occasions (after my first set was stolen). Recently, people like Mark Douglass, Uri Yurman, Sylvain, and Peter Bone have all contributed (knowingly or otherwise) to my ever-growing list. The list below contains a fair amount of examples from Ben's book and Sean's cards, but not all of them. I left out a lot of asymmetrical examples and redundant tricks. Also, the underlined and italics examples are ones that I find particularly fun or aesthetically pleasing. There may be some typos or errors in the transition throws given in parentheses, but that's totally my bad. Bottom line: download Ben's book and buy Sean's cards for yourself so you get the full, perfect package. By putting this list on the web, I am just trying to pass on some of the inspiration they gave to me. Delve into those numbers, as Dancey-san has said. There's gold in there.
