Image 4 ball juggling.gif thumb right 201px 4 ball fountain The fountain is a juggling pattern that is often used for juggling an even number of objects. In a fountain, each hand juggles separately, and the objects are not thrown between the hands. For example, in a four ball fountain, each hand juggles two balls independently. A fountain can be synchronous or asynchronous. In a synchronous fountain, both hands throw at the same time, while in an asynchronous fountain, the hands alternate throws. The fountain can also be juggled in columns juggling columns , where the balls all travel vertically up and down, and are caught from where they are thrown, or round in a circle, so that they are caught close to the body and thrown from either side of it or vice versa . The fountain is used for juggling even numbers of objects because other patterns which alternate between hands such as the cascade do not work well for even numbers. In fact, a true cascade juggling cascade is impossible with an even number of objects, although there are several patterns such as the shower juggling shower that can be performed with even numbers.
