Everyone has a dominant arm, so when learning to juggle / diabolo / devil stick
etc you need to overcome the dominance to make both arms behave similarly. Easy
to do when concentrating on a single throw, as you say, but as soon as you start
to focus on the ongoing task of keeping whatever it is moving continuously, it
needs to become subconscious.

I learnt a new juggling pattern last year, first time in ages. I too was amazed
at how quickly I advanced one day to the next (once I'd actually worked out what
to do, at any rate!)
