Flash (juggling)
A Flash in juggling is where each throw in a pattern being juggling is thrown and caught once. For a three-ball cascade, this means three throws and three catches. However, for a four balls mills mess, this means six throws/catches, as one round of the pattern requires six throws to complete it.. The term is used to distinguish the flash from the more continuous qualify, wherein every prop must be thrown and caught at least twice.

Famous quotes containing the word flash:
“Tom: All right, boys. C’mon. Why don’t you say I’m a yellow belly and a big mouth at that?
Shep: You yellow? Who thinks you’re yellow? Did you hear what he said? A guy who’s got the nerve to marry? That’s more than Flash Gordon ever did.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
