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:
“Here lies a man who was killed by lightning;
He died when his prospects seemed to be brightening.
He might have cut a flash in this world of trouble,
But the flash cut him, and he lies in the stubble.”
