For some reason I was stopped dead in my tracks by mills mess. I felt I just couldn't learn it and I've avoided it for years and years. After watching your video I just picked it up in around 20 mins. Thank you for an awesome tutorial!

Best tutorials I've seen in KZfaq. Definitely.

I think your tutorials are pretty valuable, not only to the for jugglers that learn the patterns but also for jugglers who do tutorials. As someone trying to learn the secrets of video editing this is also a tutorial for me. The Animation at the beginnig is awesome the colour choice/ size of the balls is on point, the transitions and sound effects, the composition of the scene...i could go on forever. This is a blue print for a tutorial on any skill and im thankful it exists.

I didn't even know what Mills mess was ( called it "the impossible switcharoo circle") but now I can do it. Honestly, I still haven't quite wrapped my head around what's going on but my hands seem to be getting it haha. What a great tutorial!

By FAR the best Mills Mess tutorial I’ve seen!

You actually taught me how to do 3 ball cascade, and soon the Mills Mess

There is simply no better juggling video or coach anywhere. The step by step instructions are exactly perfect.

Watch 2:00 boom .... that's the most important thing you need to understand Thank you Taylor ma'am for the video 👏👏

Just started juggling again a few days ago and l was surprised that i was able to perform most of my juggling skills. (stopped more than a half year ago and was able to juggle 4 balls and do some 3 ball tricks, but didn't know how to do mills mess and the tutorials weren't really helpfull) With the help your tutorial I learned this skill in one evening! Thank you🙂

Ten years a go I learned this amazing trick by the hard way watching it several times to understand how it works. If some one explained me this, it would be easier, thanks for sharing

Awesome tutorial.. That top angle of how you release the ball was really helpful for me..

taylor you are awesome. i knew steve mills 40 years ago. we used to perform in NYC. You did a better job explain than the man himself.

After 5 weeks of practicing I FINALLY GOT MILL"S MESS DOWN GOOD!!! A cool and satisfying pattern. Never could have done this without the tutorial. Thanks

Very good advice regarding the "u" ball. Concentrating on throwing that ball back to the centre has improved the look of my pattern 100%. Thanks again!

beautiful training from taylor

Great tutorial! I tried learning this from friends years ago and knew I was doing it wrong. I also like the focus of the camera, with the autumn leaves out of focus in the back.

The best tutorial I've even seen! And I've seen a LOT! Finally I can do the mills mess, thank you so much!! Can't wait to look at your other tutorials. Way to go Taylor!

your tutorials are by far the best. After learning a 3 ball cascade ive learned pretty much every other juggling trick i know from you. Mills mess seemed so terrifying and i picked it up in a few hours. ur the best taylor!

Amazing, all of a sudden it makes sense, great tutorial as always!

That overhead camera angle is sooooo helpful! Thanks! I'm still struggling with Windmill and Shower (also learning from your other vids), but learning Mills Mess and the other two at the same time seems to help reinforce the initial 2-ball tosses of each trick. Love your videos!

WOW it’s like you always post a video just as I am struggling with a trick!! I’ve been trying to learn Mills Mess for the past few weeks and it was not looking right, I see my errors now! Also, You posted the three club cascade and I learnt from you despite watching SO many tutorials. Thank you Taylor !! You break things down perfectly. Love from the Caribbean islands, Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

1:36...Now that's slick. I look forward to nailing this.

I agree. One of the best tutors out there on youtube! Thanks for an understandable explanation of the notorious mess!

Thanks a lot...i have been trying Mills mess for several months, but just ended up with the messy part. With your video i have finally succeeded in only one evening...the moment where you emphasize that the third ball has to be thrown inside has been extremely helpful. And you are pretty too ;-)

Perfect timing!! That's exactly the trick I wanted to learn now. Thank you so much for all your videos😊👍

best tutorial I've seen! breaking it down like that made it so I could really focus on how smooth everything was, before it was super choppy

Definitely not ready to tackle this yet but it's good to know for later. Your videos are by far the best breakdown for juggling I've seen and are packed full of finer details.

Great tutorial!! I've trying to learn to juggle Mils Mess for a while and with your steps I finally did it!! Thank you so much :)

Your tutorials are great thank you. Not only do you obviously have the best SEO and domain authority as your stuff always appears first on Google, but I love your breakdown explanations and practice routines to get the feel for the muscle memory on each parts of the trick. And the POV camera views is exactly what the doctor ordered! I normally watch your vids right on the Google embed link, and can't comment or like so had to come to KZfaq for this one to let you know how much you've helped me learn and I appreciate you!

Learned this trick when I was very young and have been doing it for decades but I’ve struggled teaching it to others. Great video and awesome explanation

I haven't been juggling for a few years and I gave up when it came to learning mills mess. This tutorial inspired me to give it another try. Thanks

This is a fantastic tutorial! I learned things I didn’t know about this pattern! Thanks for the advice, hoping to join the Legendary Otter Club soon!

Had been trying to learn this for ages, your tutorial finally made me get it. thanksssssssss!

I always thought of it as 3 consecutive throws to the left, then 3 consecutive throws to the right. Throwing them more to the middle (as you recommend) has made my pattern look a lot nicer. You are officially an epic teacher!! 🤹‍♂️

Great tutorial. I’m also a KZfaqr (Arborist Blair Glenn) and have a good friend (Dan Menendez) who has been teaching juggling for a long time. I stumbled on your tutorial here and wanted to commend you. The edit was clear, your shots were well thought out and using three different colored balls works well. Blair

Thanks for the tutorial. I watched most of your videos. Keep it up.

Thanks so much Taylor! I started using this tutorial a month ago, and today I got 4 catches!! I’m proud to be a Cool Otter!

Thank you for one of the best Mill's Mess breakdown videos i've ever seen, the multiple angles and ball-by-ball pattern explained really did help. I made progress but I may be doing it incorrectly like mentioned towards the end.

Yeah, I don't know how some jugglers claim this one is "basic" or easy. This was one of the toughest patterns for me to learn. My experiences: 1. Focus on all throws to going to the same place... to the center. When you are in the midst of the pattern during the panic phase and wondering what to do next, fall back on this golden rule. 2. The cross throw @3:48 is counter-intuitive and took up most of my concentration when learning. Reverse cascade with one ball going under is NOT Mill's Mess (2 of the 3 throws are but starting there could result in a bad habit). 3. To learn, throw high (top of head or higher) so you have a half second to think. This is probably the #1 tip that got me through it. 4. Taylor's combination @8:30 is crucial. Get this down. (Left 1, 2, 3, stop, then Right, 1, 2, 3, stop). Next you have stop stopping and figure out the #4 throw (which is simply the opposite #1). Get to the point where you can catch the #4. Getting past this barrier was a point of great frustration, but here's the thing: Once you move on to #5 throw, the juggler's brain kicks in and it started working. Thanks Taylor for this video. This is the best MM tutorial on KZfaq.

Hey always wanted to learn this - by the way, you're a good teacher, not over the top like a lot of others, just straight forward and very clear. Awesome! Thanks!

Thank you Taylor. You rock. So satisfiying when it hurts the brain at the begginning and it ends up being fully understood. Many thanks for your tutorial. Nico frome France

WOW! you are so good at juggling ! You are the best person to make me know how to juggle!

One of the best juggling tutorials at all. It’s an example of the ideal philosophy for any tutorial: make it as simple as possible, but not simpler…

Following other's tutorial there was no way to do it for me. With you, after few tries, I have the feeling that I will do it. Thanks....and you are so beautiful!!!

Great help, thank you Taylor!

thank you master, i saw your videos on instgram randomly and record them all the time and finaly find you. your best, we love you, thanks again✌️

1:32 "some people describe it as the trick windmill going back and forth". This sentence clicked in my head a few months ago. Thanks once again Taylor.

wauw! i picked up juggling around 2 weeks ago and the only thing i could do then was a inconsistent 3 ball cascade. i have been practicing and trying new things since i touched it 2 weeks ago. i wanted to learn mills mess and you just made me do it after 10 min of trying i can now do consistently 30+ catches. thanks a lot for the tutorial and i will watch much more of the video's that you make.

best mills mess tutorial i've seen so far, keep up the good work!!

Thank you Taylor for being a such good teacher. Grettings from France.

You're amazing! Thanks for the tutorial!

Wow. This tutorial taught me how to do this trick in probably 15 minutes, thank you so much! Definitely the best tutorial out there (at least for me)

Awesome, thank you :) I have been struggling with mells for weeks now.

The top angle is awesome! Thanks for making it free for us!

I've known for decades *what* the individual throws were, but holy moly, leading just 2 balls in the figure 8 patten has combed my actual mess into the most satisfying and elegant pattern! This is just what the doctor ordered

Amazing explanation! I was able to pick it up fairly quickly mainly because I was good with the prerequisites. Love this trick!

With this tutorial, step by step, i learned pretty well in less than an hour. Really a great tutorial! 💪🏽

Great tutorial, very detailed. After watching Steve Mill's tut I thought I've learned it. Now I can clearly see, there's a little bit more journey ahead :).

I’ve subscribed to you because you’re videos are super useful and filled with helpful content, along with a fun personality :)

I'm the one, who did the second and the third mistake as well, and didn't realize it, until I did it front of a camera (inspired by you). Now I'm only doing the second one :D Thanks for the tips!

Thought I was too old and slow to learn this but due to your teaching ability I'm learning it. Thank you!!!

Just learned this today. After 3 days practicing. Thanks a million. Great tutorials x

Your teaching skills are simply brilliant. Binge watching now... ❤️

FINALLY the Mill's mess seems less messy to me. By far the best tutorial on the subject, thanks a lot !

This is the most effective and best tutorial vid I have ever seen

Thanks for explaining everything 👍👍

After the LONGEST time i’ve finally gotten a handle on this trick. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it made all the difference.

I just learnt this, thanks to your video! well, still in the process of learning and perfecting it! amazing content! and as always, love your energy! Thank you!

I wish I had a tutorial like this when I was learning Mills Mess! The way I learned it back in about 2003 was I downloaded a program that simulated various juggling throws/patterns, and I just stared at, and studied, the simulation for HOURS trying to understand what each ball was doing and how to get my hands and arms to do what the completely 2D stick figure simulation was doing. Anyway, it took a few days for me to even learn the pattern and work on executing it without dropping every cycle. But I love it, it's my favorite 3 ball juggling trick to bust out, because it always gets a fun reaction from people when they see it! Good video!

Really thanks to you, I’ve learned Mills Mess in one week. Your tutorrial is much better than what I saw 👏🤹‍♂️

This is a great tutorial and I can now do Mills Mess! I still do a bit of the U ball but its getting better and i can now juggle from the reverse cascade into mills mess!

Thank you so much for explaining ghis and other juggling things. I have tried so manie tutorials but none was as clear as this one Thanks so much

Your videos r so helpful... thank you for teaching ❤

You are really a good teacher. Thank you so much.

Thanks! I have tried several times over the years to learn the Mills mess but could never really understand it. But yesterday I watched your video and voila, 2 hours later I have a Mills mess!! Thanks a lot!!

The 20 seconds starting at 1:53 unlocked it for me. I finally understand the pattern.

Omg ! I need to learn how to do this one !!!! I’m loving your tutorials !!! 🙏🏻 so good

These video are so well thought out and great production quality. Thank you for making me suck less at juggling.

Thank you that's one of my favorite tricks I seen you do Yayyyyyy!!

I think of it as juggling with my arms crossed and then changing which crossed arm is on top. So you juggle arms crossed left on top, uncross arms, arms crossed right on top, uncross arms. Repeat until you drop one or get bored.

Wow! Great way of teaching! I have never juggled, but still enjoyed it.

This is my next trick to learn. Thank you 😊

Thanks a lot for teaching me how to do that beautiful trick!! 😊👍

Thank you SO much! Finally got it.

I feel my brain is full cause of learning juggling after watching your videos and practicing. It's so full I cannot learn anymore anything new for a lil while. And my brain hurts. I've learned quite much, but mills mess is still work in progress. But good progress anyways. Thanks for great videos!

Thanks, Taylor! Your lessons are the best ! )

best tutorial out there!! thanks a million. been practicing this for ages but managed a 1mn mills mess shortly after watching this.

You are amazing teacher!

This is fantastic, thank you!! And in time for self-quarantine! :)

You make it look so easy. Took me a year to learn it.

Awesome, thank you Taylor!
