Indeed. I've learned a bit of juggling too (from same person)

You must have been really awed by Mat doing a "seven-ball loop" after half a year under Thom's tutelage.
That was unbelievable. Even RJ later admitted that only a handful of people in the world can do that. And they trained for YEARS.

And it took me a very long time to get the measly amount I learned down. It seemed like each ball got exponentially harder. Three wasn't too bad, but I had a hard time learning four, and five was too much for me.
Of course, I learned all this some time AFTER reading EotW, and in my naivete, I took it for granted that Mat could juggle seven balls easily

"Take the Gleeman!" Rand and Mat cried, throwing Thom to the Myrddraal. Then they ran away as fast as they could, and Thom's screams quickly faded into the distance along with any inconvenient feelings of guilt.
