Experience
Juggling


A juggling virtuoso, Octavio Alegria manipulates bowling pins, soccer balls, hats and ping-pong balls with his hands, feet, head and even his mouth.

"A young man bursts onto the stage to perform a unique, high-energy solo juggling/ manipulation number. The juggler is dressed in a "jester" costume (the same costume worn by the porters in Icarian Games, but with a blue and fluorescent green/yellow colour scheme). The music for the act is up tempo with a South American/Brazilian influence. The juggler begins with regular juggling pins, then switches to manipulation and juggling of soccer balls. He then juggles ping-pong balls with his mouth, spitting them and catching them in rapid succession. As a finale he takes straw hats worn by the Water Meteor boys (who act as characters/assistants during the act) and throws four of them like Frisbees, but so that they return to him like boomerangs. He continues to juggle the hats making, a dramatic dive to catch the last one. This is definitely a high-calibre act and a real crowd pleaser..." (Wayne Leung, Fascination! Writer)
