#'''Cascade''': This is normal juggling as it is taught to the beginner, with each hand tossing the prop (say a ball or a club) to the other, each throw alternately crossing in front of the chest of the juggler.

The cascade is the easiest to learn, but looks chaotic at first glance. Because of the objects passing in front of the juggler, it's a little more of a pain to draw.

Arc juggling is an easy way to illustrate a character juggling without drawing any of the objects blocking the view of the juggler - but there is no style of real life juggling which puts a juggler in this position. The juggler ''always'' has something moving into or out of his hand unless he has gone out of his way to toss everything up for a second (which is easy to throw, but hard to catch!).

Certain AcceptableBreaksFromReality[=/=]ArtisticLicensePhysics apply to cartoon juggling, too. In reality, the more objects you juggle, the higher they must be thrown to give the juggler more time to deal with the multiple objects, but this would require a large amount of panel space so animators keep the objects close to the juggler.

#'''Arc''': Common in still artwork of jugglers, this is when the juggler has his hands outspread with the objects forming an arc between them. Arc does not use motion lines, leaving to some the impression of all the items suspended over the juggler's head.
