About This Quote

The Evasive Cartwheel ™ © etc., Bartimaeus of Uruk, circa. 2800 B.C.E. Often imitated, never surpassed. As famously memorialized in the New Kingdom tomb paintings of Ramses III— you can just see me in the background of The Dedication of the Royal Family before Ra, wheeling out of sight behind the pharaoh. This is a classic juggling trick performed by one person who uses two balls.

They are given to the juggler that they then juggle while performing this trick. The trick is that when one ball is thrown to the juggler, he or she turns around and retrieves it with another ball without missing a beat.
