Some New Jugglers are Born

Today we had a visit in the Circus Hostel from a very talented man – Declan Mee – who is popping in twice a week to give juggling lessons to anyone who is interested. Having helped develop Andrew’s skills, he gave a lesson to Scott and Leslie. In fifteen minutes he took Scott from being an ordinary man with no visible juggling skills to keeping three balls up in the air at once, with only a slight danger to the people and things around him. According to Declan, Berlin has more jugglers than anywhere on the planet…we don’t really know how to test that claim, as it is unlikely that the question “Do You Juggle?” is on any census form, so we’ll have to take his word for it. Here’s some pics, and if you scroll down, you can see a video of Declan in action from his Youtube channel. Declan will be back in the Circus next Tuesday morning.

And finally…Declan’s video:
