In toss juggling, a flash is a form of numbers juggling where each ball in a juggling pattern is thrown and caught once. Not considered real juggling by some,[1] the term is used to distinguish the flash from the more continuous qualify or qualifying juggle, wherein every prop must be thrown and caught at least twice. Flash may also refer to a juggling trick where every prop is simultaneously in the air and both hands are empty.[2]
For a three-ball cascade, one throw and catch per ball means three throws and three catches. However, for a four-ball Mills Mess, this means six throws & catches, as one round of the pattern requires six throws to complete it.[clarification needed]
The Klutz guide to juggling refers to catching and/or throwing every prop in a pattern once as a jug, which they list as the fourth and essentially final step in learning to juggle: "If you can do this much...You're JUGGLING!!!"[3]
A time when all props are in the air is also known as a flash[2] and allows a "flashy" move such as a clap or a pirouette.[4] A three-ball flash is a good preparation for five-ball patterns, requiring balls to be thrown faster and higher.[4]
