Throwing one a bit higher with a double flip is probably a good
place to start. Try it with just one club before you try it in the
pattern. Then there's "floaters," throws with no flip at all. Just
sort of scoop the club up.
Under-the-leg isn't too hard. Again, try it with one club first,
then try to start you pattern with that throw, then try ending a
pattern that way. Finally, try it in the pattern. Lift your leg
high, bent at the knee, and make all your throws a little high to
give yourself a little extra time.
Have
fun!

I
think that you were requesting some easy three-club tricks to learn.
Easy three club tricks? There are lots! OK, maybe I didn't find them
so easy to learn, but then again, it took me quite a while to get a
three-club cascade down!
Try
doubles. Every once in a while, throw one higher and have it flip
twice instead of once. Do it with both hands. You can do every throw
as a double if you want to. It looks pretty.
Then
there is the "wing-one-up-as-high-as-you-can-and-catch-it-and-the-non-jugglers-think-you-are-o-so-cool"
one.
My
favorite is sort of like a three ball half-shower. Practice throwing
one over your head from the right to the left hand. It should flip
twice and the audience should be able to see the flip (ie. it is
flipping in a different direction than normally, plus it is over
your head. I would wear headgear when learning this one.) If that
makes no sense, ask anyone about doubleoverheads and I am sure that
they would be able to explain it much better than I can!
If
all of these tricks you can perform flawlessly already, then maybe
you should look into asking for some "hard three-club tricks"! I
can't do any of those yet! Happy juggling!
