Cuphead 2.0 Basic Tricks

Introduction to the Cuphead Club

In this video, Jay Gilligan, the creator of the Cuphead club, begins by introducing different categories of possible tricks with the club. He emphasizes the importance of familiarizing oneself with the club itself before starting to use it with a ball.

First Category: The Catches

The first category concerns catching the ball in the club. Jay suggests different methods to achieve this, including by a throw, a placement, or various body catches. He encourages jugglers to first explore this category by imagining different ways of introducing the ball into the club.

Second Category: Removing the Ball from the Club

Once the ball is in the club, how to remove it? Jay suggests two simple methods: the first involves a multiplex where the club crosses to the other hand, and the second where the ball crosses to the other hand in a multiplex.

Third Category: Combinations

Finally, Jay proposes to combine the first two categories to create fluid tricks, where the introduction and removal of the ball follow each other naturally. He recommends breaking down the tricks into simple parts before trying to assemble them.

Evolving Techniques

After mastering these basics, Jay suggests exploring the same concepts with different combinations of objects, such as two clubs and one ball or two balls and one club.
