One hard part of this pattern is figuring out what to do when you become the feeder, especially since you can become the feeder in two different ways - after having been the first feedee or the second feedee. The first thing to remember is that you just keep doing a 3­ct with the one person who didn't move. And remember that in that 3-ct, the same two clubs keep getting passed back and forth.

If you become the feeder after being the first feedee (Fig. 4), you follow your continuing 3­ct pass (say, R hand) with an immediate self from the opposite hand (L) and then a pass to the now-moved person from the hand that just did the last 3-ct pass (R). After that comes another pass (L hand) to the un­moved person, and then your usual self (R) in the pass-pass-self of the 3-ct feeder.   If you are the feeder after being the second feedee, your job is fairly easy. You just pass to the now-moved person im­mediately after one of your continuing 3-ct passes (Fig. 5), and follow that sec­ond pass with a self by your other hand.

This may sound a little tricky, and it takes a little getting used to, but at some point you will feel the timing and not have to think about it. When you can all three finally do 3-ct outs and ins continuously at every chance, you may notice an interesting relationship be­tween the resulting pattern and the wheel with three people (even though the lat­ter pattern only involves passing with one hand). If you discover this relation­ship, please let us know at Juggler's Workshop.

Bruno's Nightmare

We finish now with a seemingly devilish pattern of juggling movement called Bruno's Nightmare, named for its inventor Bruno Saxer of Bern , Switzerland . The pattern actually has some fairly simple rules that make it not quite as difficult as its name suggests, but it does require everyone to be able to feed two people who are moving past each other and to pay attention to the change of feeders.

The pattern has three people in a triangle. All three people do the same things but at different times. We'll call one side of the triangle the baseline; call the corner opposite that side the pivot

At any given time, one person is feeding from one end of the baseline while the other two people are trading places. After being the feeder, you become a feedee and move first to the pivot and then to the other end of the baseline to become the feeder again.

In Bruno's Nightmare, each person feeds for five passes at a time, with the first of those passes always thrown along the baseline. The five passes are shown in the five parts of Fig. 7, where juggler 1 is feeding. Fig. 8 shows the continuation of the pattern for the next 5 passes, with juggler 3 now feeding.

As toe first pass of a given feeder is thrown, the feedee on the baseline moves straight toward the feeder for a step or two, to catch that pass short. This gets the baseline feedee out of the way of the pivot feedee who will cross behind.

The second pass goes to the pivot feedee, who already has started backing up and taking a step toward the baseline.

The feeder should lead each feedee with an appropriate pass to allow for the movement. The feeder's first pass, along the baseline, is short, to let the baseline feedee catch it while moving forward. The second pass goes to the pivot feedee, who is backing up, so that pass is long and should lead slightly toward the baseline.

The third pass is again short and a little toward the pivot side ofthe baseline feedee, who by then is directly in front of the pivot feedee. The fourth pass is long, going to the pivot feedee who has almost

reached the baseline. The fifth and final pass is to the baseline feedee, who has just gotten to the pivot.

When you reach the pivot, here's what happens. You catch one feeder's fifth and final pass, turn 60 degrees during a self to face the new feeder, and start backing up and moving sideways toward the other end of the baseline while the new feed begins. When you reach the baseline, you become the new feeder.
