This is a trick that I learned at my first EJC in Rotterdam from a French contact juggler named Bruno...well sort of. By the time I got home, I couldn't remember exactly what he had taught me. Despite reinventing the bottom half of the trick it still carries his namesake for providing me with the spark of inspiration. In the original version, the ball travels across the tops of the arms and the backs of the hands (instead of the palms) during the lower half of the trick.

Before learning this trick, you should have a solid side elbow stall. Trying to learn it without this additional stopping point is difficult, but not impossible.

As the arm lowers to the starting position on the opposite side the ball returns to the palm. Transfer and repeat...

This trick can become remarkably fluid and provides a stunning level change as it can be done as high and and low as you can hold your palms flat. It also integrates well with chest rolls and behind the head rolls by replacing the front (elbow to elbow) portion of either maneuver with the upper or lower half of your Bruno's Bridge.
