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:
“The point of the dragonfly’s terrible lip, the giant water bug, birdsong, or the beautiful dazzle and flash of sunlighted minnows, is not that it all fits together like clockwork--for it doesn’t ... but that it all flows so freely wild, like the creek, that it all surges in such a free, finged tangle. Freedom is the world’s water and weather, the world’s nourishment freely given, its soil and sap: and the creator loves pizzazz.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
