Yowsa! This was the first guy I ever saw do Fei-Cha in an old Internet Video called “Janitors”. In the interim he appears to have gone to Circus School in Montreal and has gotten some pretty sweet tricks nailed in his act. He also does slick combined hat manipulation and has a cute goofy ending. Win.

i found this video via Lewie Wests’ favourates. Why isn’t he a blogger yet anyway?

Hi guys,
My year-long juggling film project has finally been released (on world juggling day) and I was wondering if perhaps you could feature it on your video blog?  I would be eternally grateful.  The film is a combination of traditional toss juggling and innovative non-traditional kinetic-based art.
I think it would greatly appeal to your audience of followers.
Spark is available to purchase here as a $15 digital download.
