Star of David
The Star of David is a version of Aidan's feast for six jugglers. The six
jugglers stand in a circle. The three counters are A, C and E, and the
four counters are B, D and F. For the first pass A passes with B, C passes
with F and D passes with E.
Now A makes three passes to C, C makes three passes to E and E makes three
passes to A. Also B makes two passes to D, D makes two passes to F and
F makes two passes to B.
Next A passes with D, B passes with C and E passes with F.
Now A makes three passes to E, C makes three passes to A and E makes three
passes to C. Also B makes two passes to F, D makes two passes to B and
F makes two passes to D.
