A '''Flash''' means throwing and catching each [[Prop|prop]] once, usually from a [[Cold start|cold start]] and to a [[Collect|collect]]. Going into 5 throws of a 5 [[Ball juggling|ball]] trick from a [[Warm start|warm start]] and back to the [[Basic pattern|basic pattern]] afterwards would also be called a flash of the trick. Flashing a trick can begin with either a [[Cold start|cold start]] or a [[Warm start|warm start]], and end with either a [[Collect|collect]] or a re-entry to the [[Basic pattern|basic pattern]] or another pattern. The highest [[Numbers juggling|numbers]] of [[Prop|props]] that have been flashed are 13 [[Ball juggling|balls]] by [[Alex Barron]], 13 [[Ring juggling|rings]] by [[Albert Lucas]], 12 [[Ball juggling|ball]] [[Bounce juggling|bounce]] by [[Alan Sulc]], 9 [[Club juggling|sticks]], and 8 standard [[Club juggling|clubs]].

A '''flash''' is a very short [[Run|run]] of a juggling pattern where each object is thrown and caught only once, usually from a [[Cold start|cold start]] and to a [[Collect|collect]].
   
 
Going into 5 throws of a 5 ball trick from a [[Warm start|warm start]] and back to the [[Basic pattern|basic pattern]] afterwards would also be called a flash of the trick. Flashing a trick can begin with either a cold start or a warm start, and end with either a collect or a re-entry to the basic pattern or another pattern. The term "flash" is also sometimes used for any non-[[Qualify|qualifying]] run where each object is caught at least once.

  +
The highest [[Numbers juggling|numbers]] of [[Prop|props]] that have been flashed are 14 [[Ball juggling|balls]] by [[Alex Barron]], 13 [[Ring juggling|rings]] by [[Albert Lucas]], 12 ball [[Bounce juggling|bounce]] by [[Alan Sulc]], and 9 [[Club juggling|clubs]].

A flash can also refer to throwing all (or some) of the [[Prop|props]] being juggled higher than the [[Basic pattern|basic pattern]] so that both hands are briefly empty (unless not all were thrown high). Both meanings of "flash" (just throwing and catching everything, and throwing the objects high) can be used as either a noun or a verb (e.g. "a three [[Ball juggling|ball]] flash"; "flashing three [[Ball juggling|balls]]"). A high flash can be used as an exercise to prepare for learning a higher number of objects. You should have time to clap your hands together while the objects are in the air, but the clap is not a necessary part of the exercise as long as you know you have enough time that you could clap. Other things such as [[Spins|360s]], [[Spins|720s]], or backflips can also be done while the objects are in the air after a high flash.

A high flash can be used as an exercise to prepare for learning to juggle a higher number of objects. Juggle the basic pattern at the same speed you will use for the higher number (possibly slightly faster than the speed you normally use for the number you're juggling now), and keep throwing at the same speed while you do the high flash. If you're preparing for a pattern with two more objects, you should pause for two beats after the flash, before you start throwing again. If the pause is less than two beats long, you need to throw higher or faster. You can clap your hands together while the objects are in the air to make sure your hands are both empty long enough.

  A flash is a very short run of a juggling pattern where each object is thrown and caught only once, usually from a cold start and to a collect.

Going into 5 throws of a 5 ball trick from a warm start and back to the basic pattern afterwards would also be called a flash of the trick. Flashing a trick can begin with either a cold start or a warm start, and end with either a collect or a re-entry to the basic pattern or another pattern. The term "flash" is also sometimes used for any non-qualifying run where each object is caught at least once.

The highest numbers of props that have been flashed are 14 balls by Alex Barron, 13 rings by Albert Lucas, 12 ball bounce by Alan Sulc, and 9 clubs.

High flash[]

A "flash" can also mean throwing all of the props higher than the basic pattern so that both hands are briefly empty (or throwing all but one or two high and pausing briefly).

A high flash can be used as an exercise to prepare for learning to juggle a higher number of objects. Juggle the basic pattern at the same speed you will use for the higher number (possibly slightly faster than the speed you normally use for the number you're juggling now), and keep throwing at the same speed while you do the high flash. If you're preparing for a pattern with two more objects, you should pause for two beats after the flash, before you start throwing again. If the pause is less than two beats long, you need to throw higher or faster. You can clap your hands together while the objects are in the air to make sure your hands are both empty long enough.

You can also do other things such as 360s, 720s, or backflips while the objects are in the air after a high flash.
