Juggler Jon

Biography

“If you like juggling, then you’ll love this guy!”
Derren Brown

His winning personality, as well as his high level of skill, has led him to appear on Radio 1, ITV, The National Brit Awards and even to perform at Wembley Stadium. Jon has showcased his talents in fabulous venues all over the world in destinations as varied as Ireland, Dubai, Slovenia, Italy and Germany. However, it was back in the UK that he was the first person to be crowned ‘British Young Juggler of the Year’ and has since won a number of other juggling awards.

Jon’s current acts feature numerous skills with juggling balls, rings and clubs and incorporate the manipulation of different objects such as cigar boxes, hats, and diabolo. He is, however, able to tailor any of these acts to your needs if you have a specific requirement.

ROUTINES FOR STAGE
Jon has a number of routines available for stage and cabaret. These include a routine with balls, rings, clubs and cigar boxes all tightly choreographed to music with a high skill level. Again, he is able to tailor these acts for street entertainment providing there is an available sound system (able to provide the music in a number of formats). The requirements for these routines are minimal, and each routine can be subtly altered to fit the venue.

HIP HOP CLUBS
‘Hip Hop Clubs’ has a quick tempo, and is highly skilled and choreographed to a funky hip hop track (James Brown Remix – 3 mins 37 secs). It involves the juggling and manipulation of 1-5 clubs in a slick, stylish and funky style.

TRICKS WITH BRICKS
‘Tricks with Bricks’ is a slick routine using the manipulation of up to 7 cigar boxes. The balancing, throwing and tumbling of the boxes is tightly choreographed to a big band jazz piece that is 5 mins and 9 secs. Comical yet skilled, this routine is a great crowd-pleaser.

GLOW BALLS
‘Glow Balls’ is a spectacular routine involving the performance of various vivid and artistic patterns. These vibrant glow balls strobe, fade and flash in a variety of colours and effects that are a delight for any audience to watch. This routine is perfect for stage and is also more than suitable as walkabout or meet and greet entertainment for nightclubs, etc.

MIXED JUGGLING
‘Mixed Juggling’ is a routine that uses balls, rings and clubs. The element that makes this routine different from most other juggling routines is that there is never one type of prop juggled at one time. Sometimes 2 balls and 2 rings are used; sometimes 4 balls and a club; and other times 2 balls, 2 rings and a club! This routine is set to a funky hip hop track with a good beat (4 mins 8 secs).

FIRE
Jon is able to supply daring displays of fire diabolo, fire devil sticks, and fire juggling from 3-5 clubs. Fire juggling can be used in a street show (on request) or as a meet and greet.

WALKABOUT/MEET AND GREET
As a professional juggler, Jon has moulded himself into a specific character who is a smartly dressed, comical street entertainer. During his walkabout routine, he moves around the audience/guests chatting to them while juggling and encouraging audience participation (where appropriate) and showing them close-up tricks and juggling skills.

WALKABOUT GLOW BALLS
Jon becomes a very elegant and graceful character for his glow balls walkabout routine. This character is used more as a piece of art in motion for people to view as a spectacle as opposed to the above, that is more communicational and comedic.

STREET SHOW
Jon performs a street show that lasts up to 40 mins. This show contains a lot of juggling and manipulation of different types to a high skill level as well as lots of comedy and audience participation. This show can be altered in length for your needs and is suitable for any venue.

WORKSHOPS
Jon is also available to teach circus skills workshops which include such equipment as juggling balls, rings and clubs, diabolos, cigar boxes, hats, devil sticks, spinning plates, unicycles and more. This is the perfect entertainment for weddings, fetes, festivals, family fun days, parties and more.

Juggler Jon is perfect for: Circus events, corporate events, weddings, birthdays, receptions, ceremonies, awards ceremonies, street entertainment, workshops, product launches, festivals, carnivals, fetes, family fun days, hotel and restaurant entertainments, private functions
