Francis Brunn
His performance was one of a kind, as he would start with a fast and low down 5 ring cascade. But this part was not nearly as good as the rest of his act. Unlike a lot of jugglers, Brunn would never loose pace, and although he did get, he would not show in his performances that he was getting tired out. His style, although fast and furious, was also in a sense an elegant display of skill.
One of his mesmerising tricks( one, of amongst quite a few, mesmerising moves)was to not only do a perfectly still and balanced handstand, but to have a child's football wedged in between his feet. He would bend his legs over down to his face, where he would have a stick gripped in between his teeth, then Brunn would manoeuver the ball so it would balance upon his mouthstick!
"Greater than the great Rastelli!" One person said. "Faster." Wheather he's faster or not, Brunn was in fact inspired by Rastelli. He was his great idle, the one who kick started Brunn off.
Polack Circus is the name of the show that Brunn toured in. When I, myself, found this out, I was quite surprised. I had no idea that he had a career in a circus, but why shouldn't he have had one? A juggler like him would have deserved more than the audiences clap-and he got more. He was not the average circus juggler- He was unique-and that's what gave Francis Brunn the respect that he deserved, and got.
Later on Brunn added some spanish dance to his act, creating an almost electrifying display!
Unfortunately, Francis Brunn died not at all long ago. Before his death, however, Brunn was given a golden star with his name on it from Viktor Kee.
Bobby May
Bobby May was almpost a lovable and friendly person on stage. We know that he was off stage as he did not play a chracter in front of the audience. And that's what is nice about him. He just acted himself. In fact, he would often make not a spectacular entrance, in fact, a rather simple and humble one: He would usually enter playing a harmonica.
But when he was juggling, he was realy having a fun time. He would do unusual feets like juggling with rebound balls upside down and he would juggle every day objects like plates and saucers. He did not just perform on stage, he would perform in films with the role of a friendly and kind man.
Bobby May died on November 7th, 1981, but was always respected for his juggling, performing, acting, or just being his cheerful self at home.
Massimiliano Truzzi
The Famous Ringling Bros. circus was the place where Truzzi would perform daily. He performed in this circus before that of Brunns chance to have a turn at wowing the circus audience. He would juggle extravegant and unusuall looking clubs, more like colourful sticks with large balls on the ends: He would juggle using the traditional stick and ball, using a stick in his mouth to bounce and balance leather or rubber balls on. However amazing this was, Truzzi prefered to keep this part of his act at a minimum. He would rather juggle his other tossing props instead. His mouthstick, to suit his fierce looking stage character, was shaped like a sharp knife.
He was possibly one of the best circus performers of his time, because of his stage character and his wonderful juggling.
Kris Kremo
Kremo, the famous gentle man juggler, was obsessed with three object manipulation. Inspired by his father, Bela,Kremo has always enrolled on a keen interest on seeing whats possible with just a maximum of three objects. He would not juggle the kinetic twirling clubs or use the mouthstick like his fellow jugglers, rather, he would use cigar boxes and balls as his core prop. He would also catch top hats on his head as well as slapping them on and juggling to the cheerful music. He would never change character throught his acts, and he would never not show a grin or smile after a successful trick.
One of the highlights of his performance would to do piroutes with the boxes, under one, then two, then all three: As well as a triple spin under a single box in the air.
