The long zap-zap-zip 56252

← Back to Selfs and Zaps ←

Color-coding: the zap is magic: use a club of different color for the zap and that club will only do zaps in this pattern.

A begins and throws diagonal zaps, B throws straight zaps.

Exercise Before Pattern

B has two clubs, A has one differently-colored club - the zap.

Maybe also do a pre-exercise similar to the one of Breakfast at Tiffany's 56662:

Juggler A doesn't really juggle and just throws the first zap to B so B can react on the incoming zap with "self, zap, zap".

Repeat for both jugglers (note that one juggler will need to throw crossing zaps, the other will need to throw straight zaps)

Continue on when you think both can handle the kind of zaps they get from B.
