Boxed  Out

By John Reutershan - Bronx, NY

 I came up with this six-move sequence as a change-of-pace from the more vigorous moves one usually includes in a routine. It is described here from the juggler's viewpoint.

 0. The standard starting position.

1. Right hand "folds" right box under middle box, maintaining corner contact during the move.

2. Entire configuration rotates 90 degrees. Right hand slides right box smoothly from middle box to left box, maintaining contact during the move.

3. Configuration rotates 90 degrees again. Left hand grabs middle box during the move, maintaining relative position of the boxes.

4. Back to the standard position. Hands maintain their grip, but the left box is given a 180 degree flip and caught between the other two boxes.  Left hand moves the middle box over the flipping box while right hand must turn right box 180 degrees so that the hand is on top.

5. Left hand moves to grab the upside down left box, as the right hand tums the right box 90 degrees and moves it under to support the middle box.

6. Finally, back to the standard position with the same action as step 4. Here the middle box rotates 180 degrees and the right box is turned 90 degrees to bring the right hand on top. The left hand again moves its box over the flipping box.
