Side Saw Circle

Difficulty:
It is best to know how to do all variations of the Side to Side Saw in order to do this trick. I heard this trick first described on the rec.juggling newsgroup. I guess one of the German jugglers had done this trick while at the Las Vegas IJA convention.

Start off doing a right hand reverse side saw. Start to raise the side saw until it is a little bit above your head (you should be looking up at the spinning devilstick). Start to bring it across your body and do a right hand reverse side saw to left hand forward side saw switch (Side to Side Saw). All this is done with it still at head height. After the switch, start to lower the devilstick to its normal side position. From there do a side to side saw so it goes back to the right hand reverse side saw. When going from the left hand forward side saw to the right hand reverse side saw you can bend over a little and lower the spinning devilstick as it crosses your body. The devilstick has done a complete circle around the front of you.
