Tiny Bumblebee
This is a very helpful pattern for Flip die Hummel. Here, you trow the color-clubs (Boss-Keulen / bee-clubs / ...) and a Zap.
You can also find a description of this pattern on the poster on the main page of Flip die Hummel which is also shown below.
Patterns to do before this one
Pattern Description
Three jugglers are posistioned in a regular triangle, facing the middle of it.
In the pattern, one club is handed to the other person, so jugglers have to stand close enough to each other so that is comfortably possible.
Starting Position
A has the two bumblebee-clubs. B and C each have one normal club in their left hand.
The bumbleebees
- At first, A does a half-flip with their left hand, so now the handle of the club points to B.
- Contrary to some calculations, bumblebees can fly high! That means, the second bumblebee (from A's right hand) is now thrown as a nice, slow pass to B's left hand (so a straight pass).
- Now, A hands over the flipped club to B's right hand.
- As A now has B's zap in their right hand, they do a zip
Juggler B
Underneath A's pass, B throws a straight zap to A. Then he takes the other club from A.
After this, B has both bumblebees and does what A did before!
C just waits.
The sequence of the roles is A -> C -> B -> A. That means, A becomes C, C becomes B and B becomes A. This is also calles a mantra.
