Step 1 - Begin with three balls in one hand and a tennis racket in the other. Toss one ball up and, with the racket, lightly hit it up in the air back toward your throwing hand.

Step 2 - When this first ball has reached the top of its arc and is returning to your throwing hand (Diagram 1), toss the remaining two balls under the first toward the racket (Diagram 2). However, on this throw, only the highest of the two thrown balls will be batted back with the racket.

Step 3 - To complete this trick and keep it going indefinitely, catch your fIrst throw as it comes down, then catch the bottom ball of the two thrown together (giving you again two balls in one hand, Diagram 4). Again throw these two balls under the ball bouncing off the tennis racket. Be prepared to repeat catching the ball that bounces off the racket and the bottom ball of the two thrown together.
