5 Ball Tricks:

One over the top

Throw a single toss outside, and keep going. This is mostly a matter of forgetting about the rest of the patter when you do the outside toss, and just making that one toss right. After the toss is thrown, pretend it was done normally, and keep juggling. All typical zen-like techniques for grokking a trick apply.

Steals

One person juggles, and another one comes over and takes all the balls. The pattern stays the same, the person who's doing all the catching and throwing changes. The main trick is keeping the person who's giving the balls from throwing towards the other person. All throws are done as if you're just keeping the pattern going. Practice with the same person a couple of times and you'll start to get it right.

Throw-ins

While juggling four, have a spectator throw one in. The way I do this is to tell the spectator to throw to my right hand, slightly higher than I throw the balls in my cascade. After practicing the throw without juggling a couple of times, have the spectator just throw it in. When you see that the spectator is doing the throwing motion, throw one with your right hand crossing (this is from an asynchronous fountain.) Start crossing with the left hand too, but concentrate on the next throw with the right hand. Hold on to the ball after the first crossing one in the right hand as long as possible, and exchange it for the thrown-in one. It's a good idea to go from three to four first, for that, have the spectator do the same thing. Do a throw from the left to itself as soon as the ball is thrown, and hold onto the ball in the right hand as long as possible.
