Why Do You Suck at Juggling?

I can juggle pretty well with three objects, but I have no idea what the next step would be. Four feels like it would be no fun, because it is just juggling two balls in each hand. What is the recommended next step?

Some ideas, all with three objects:

- Throw one over your shoulder/under your leg/around your back/

- catch each ball with your palm facing down instead of up

- Out->in cascade (throw from outside, catch from inside) instead of the traditional in->out

- 3 columns

- over the top (tennis)

- Any "mess"

- Any "box"

Then all of the above, but with

- 3 clubs

- 3 cigar boxes

- 3 clubs on fire

- while riding a unicycle

That should keep you going for a while

All tricks sorted by difficulty with animations. You can find good YouTube tutorials on most three ball tricks.
