In this video the Mathologer captures the mathematical soul of juggling and has a lot of fun analysing the hell out of it.

If you are really keen check out his book and articles on the math of juggling:

The animations at the end of this video were created a while ago with the free juggling animators Juggle Master and JoePass! These programs are a bit outdated. If you want to play with some animators maybe also check out Jongl and Juggling Lab. Juggling Lab also includes some very nice analytic tools.

Oh, and just in general, if you'd like to google around for more try "site swap juggling" and check out my juggling intro here https://youtu.be/xaaQs5w1X0s
