The Martin is a 5 object trick invented by Nate Martin. It is a non-multiplex variation of the duplex split pattern with 5. Two objects are held in one hand at the same time in this pattern, but not thrown at the same time. Instead, each hand throws twice in a row: first a non-crossing throw while holding on to another object, and then a crossing throw with that object. This pattern is more difficult than splits, but still easier than the cascade with 5.
