When did you realize that you were going to work as a juggler?Did you want to be anything else (like a dentist, or a porno star?)

The real question is when will I realize that I will no longer work as a juggler-
as soon as possible.

What is your opinion about Anthony Gatto and Bruce Sarafian?

Anthony Gatto- Good juggler Bruce Sarafian- No opinion

Do you prefer number juggling,(like eleven balls, siteswaps), or an artistic juggling?

Numbers.

When you were very young, did your friends understand what was juggling or did they think that you were training to be a clown or something?

Only my friends understood because they were the only ones I wasted my time explaining it to. Everybody else thought differently and could have kissed my ass in the process.

How many people have you punched because they told you that you were a clown?

9

How do you feel when a club or a ring falls?

Like punching the person nearby who says,"That was better than I could do" Really, ya think?

Do you think that some or all the people in the IJA are not so open minded to understand the jokes?

Fuck 'em.

Does your unusual attitude influence the final score in the championships?

It shouldn't if the judges remain professional. So probably.

Have you ever been to any south american juggle festival? Did you know that they exist in south america?

I never thought about it. I was just in South America. I noticed that some street beggers would wait for traffic to stop, put on a clown nose and juggle in the street for the cars hoping for tips. I don't think I want to go to that guy's juggling club.

What is Juggle kung fu master, how are the sales going??? What brought you more money, selling the medals or selling your movies?

Juggling Kung Fu Master is an epic sage that parody's the IJA juggling competitions. (For a description of the movie, refer to my website) Sales are through Todd Smith and Serious juggling. Serious juggling seems to be selling them every now and then. I sold quite a few when it first came out and at the convention in Madison. Now the sales appear to be slowing. The medals didn't generate enough income to be considered for comparison to my movie sales.

The kickmovie.avi clip is very hard to do. Can you do that trick always or you were lucky? What was harder to learn?: That trick or the eat an apple trick?

The kickmovie I did just for the video. I worked on it for about an hour one day, and then the next day shot the video in about an hour and a half. I did the tricks many times, but only a few times the way I wanted them to look. According to public knowledge, the eat the apple trick is by far the most difficult juggling trick of all time.

What do you think about Devil Stick, Diabolo,Contact juggling and mimes?

I try not to think about those things.

Anything else to say?

The world will be a better place once everybody follows the rules posted on my rules of life page, which will be updated soon.
