Hi, this is Jeremy with Expert Village. We're going to go ahead, and now that you have the hold mastered, we're going to ahead and teach you how to get it from one side of the hand, so that it goes to the other side of the hand, where it looks like it's rolling over your fingers. Make sure you have those holds down, if you don't, it's going to make it very, very hard. Now, what you do is you go from your hold, and you're actually going to throw the ball up. You're going to throw the ball up, and you're going to catch it on the other side. Now the reason I throw it up is because if you try and roll it you're going to end up throwing it into someone over in the audience over there. The illusion when you go like this, that it's rolling, it's just that, it's an allusion. You're actually throwing the ball, you're just throwing it just high enough that it barely goes over your fingertips. And so as you practice, keep throwing it lower and lower until it just barely goes over your fingers. Always making sure that you're throwing up and not over to either side or else you're going to injure somebody. Make sure, once again, that you practice with both your dominant hand, and your non-dominant hand, or else you're not going to be able to do a lot of tricks where you switch between hands. If you're having trouble getting it from one side to the other, once again, it could be your hold, especially from this side to this side. If you need to go back to step one, go back to step one, and change your hold to whichever's easier or basically practice moving it around a bit.
