Torture Chamber

A 5 person pattern with different difficult levels. It involves two people doing an 8-count (easy positions), two people doing a windscreenwiper feed and one person being tortured in the middle. The patterns includes a dropback for the person in the middle. Also for some passes you catch from another person than you are passing to, creating some odd angles to catch from. Passes are normally done in 4-count. It takes 4 passes until the pattern repeats, so counting them out can help.

Everyone starts with 3 clubs: 2 clubs in their right hand and one in their left.

Here is what each person does:

Juggler A
In the center position: passes to everyone going anti-clockwise, including an extrem throw to the left while catching from the right. Faces juggler B.
Juggler B
In one of the two 'front' position (B and E). 4-count feed starting with A in the center and then going left (that is: A, C, A, E)
Juggler C
Doing an 8-count, always passing to B on pass 2 and 4.
Juggler D
Doing an 8-count, always passing to E on pass 1 and 3.
Juggler E
The other 'front' position. 4-count feed starting with D in the center and then going right (D, A, B, A).
