--> '''Mrs. Beakley''': Start off with one, that's easy to do. Add one more and now you've got two. Two plus one, as hard as it can be, but oh so quick, I'm juggling three.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}: Party On!'', landing on an Event space has a chance of making your player character volunteering for a senior center. The player character and one of the seniors are shown juggling in the "shower" fashion.

The cascade is the easiest to learn, but looks chaotic at first glance. Because of the props passing in front of the juggler, it's a little more of a pain to draw. In reality only odd numbers of props pass between hands. Even numbers are divided by two and juggled in each hand.[[note]]Four ball juggling is juggling two balls in each hand at the same time, six balls are three in each hand, etc.[[/note]]. The more props you juggle the higher you have to throw them to give yourself time to handle them all. The current record (as of 2021) for balls/beanbags is 14 beanbags with 14 catches.

Juggling is animated in several different ways. Some are real juggling, some are juggling that is [[TropesAreTools easy for the viewer to follow (or animator to animate]]), and some are physically impossible. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools There's nothing wrong with using any of these]], but people who can juggle will look and wonder how anyone would actually achieve the feat.
