A slam is a quick short throw (i.e. a pass/zip/feed) that goes over the top of the next object that will be caught by the hand doing the slam. This throw goes down through the pattern diagonally and is caught (usually in the opposite hand) in the normal position, below the last object thrown from the hand that catches it.
A reverse slam is made from a normal position, going under the next object that will be caught by the hand doing the reverse slam. It goes up through the pattern diagonally and is caught above the last object thrown from the hand that catches it.
Slams are most commonly done in patterns where they have a siteswap value of 2x, but they can also be done as 1s, 2s, or 3s.
The shuffle is a shower pattern done with slams, and Luke's shuffle (invented by Luke Gravett) is a box done with slams. The slow shuffle and the Boston shuffle are easier versions of these tricks, where instead of doing slams on every beat, the slams are separated by a beat where you just do a basic crossing throw. The N-box is a box where you alternate doing slams and reverse slams.
