How To Perform A Smudge

  1. Start with the footbag on a toe stall and set it upward.
  2. As the footbag rises, use the same leg that performed the set to circle the footbag from in-to-out.
  3. Quickly plant the setting foot after completing the Pixie dexterity.
  4. As the footbag falls, use the opposite leg to circle the footbag from out-to-in, completing the Illusion dexterity.
  5. As the Illusion leg begins to plant, bring the original setting foot underneath the falling footbag and catch it on the toe.

Tips For Learning

Keep The Pixie Tight

Make a small, controlled in-to-out Pixie dexterity close to the footbag. Large circles waste time and make the Mirage harder.

Set Into The Ilussion

Focus on a clean Pixie set that rises slightly in front of you, giving the support leg enough time to complete the Illusion dexterity.

Stay Balanced

Keep your weight centered on the support leg throughout the trick so you can finish the Mirage and catch the footbag with control.
