What is the trick at 0:45?

The only other person I've seen do it is Sean McKinney. I want to learn it!

It's a one sided mills mess (sometimes referred to as flo's mess) where the top hand catches claw style and the bottom hand catches every other throw penguin style.

Thanks!

Don't know the name, but I liked it so much that I learned it from this video many years ago. :)

That's awesome. I wish I could do that.

I just can't seen to 'learn' any tricks with crossing arms unless they are broken down (throws, slow-mo, etc.)... It took me so long to learn Mills Mess and I learned Boston way before that because it seemed simpler to me. Once I get where the throws are going and coming from, it's easy. But it's a curse. It's why to this day I don't understand Rubenstein's.

I had a period in the beginning of my juggling where I only did 3 balls. Had never even tried 4. :P I think that during that period, around 1 year, I learned more tricks then I've learned the rest of the 12 years I've been juggling. :)
