A pseudohalfshower is a pattern similar to a fountain, but with each hand juggling a different number of objects, so one hand throws higher than the other. Any 2-handed period 2 non-crossing siteswap that isn't a fountain is a pseudohalfshower.

The 6 ball pseudohalfshowers 84 and (8,4) are excited state siteswaps, so you can't enter them directly from the basic pattern. You can transition from the asynch fountain to a pseudohalfshower with a 7, and back to the fountain with a 5:
To transition from a synch fountain to a pseudohalfshower you can use a pair of (8x,6) throws, and you can go back to the fountain with a pair of (6x,4) throws:

Siteswap exercises[]
You can use these exercises to practice the same kinds of throws that are done in pseudohalfshower patterns, before you learn the full pattern.
Some of the siteswaps listed below are shortened to leave out parts where you’re not doing anything. Click on them to see animations of the exercises.
You should practice doing these starting with your right hand and with your left hand, so that you will be able to do the pattern on either side.
