For ease of sharing I uploaded a video of my diabolo routine, as performed at the Schmidt’s Midnight Variete in Hamburg a few weeks ago. This doesn’t contain any mindblowing tricks, nor is there anything special about the performance, it’s just what I do on stage with diabolo, the act pretty much unchanged for the past 4 or 5 years. Check it out:<\/p>\n

Some more info:
\n– I typically do this act with a spoken introduction as part of a longer show, either my theater show or as a street show. Not only do I introduce the act beforehand, but I make comments throughout the entire thing, and for the big trick at the end I do a long but fast-paced explanation. Here I arrive on stage, and have to win the audience over purely by my tricks.
\n– The above reason is why I’ve shared this version of the act, and not the many other times I’ve captured it on film, because it stands alone.
\n– I once had a 2 diabolo section at the end, but replaced it with the final trick you see here. This is much easier for me.
\n– I normally do the routine dropless; the drop of the finale trick is completely intentional.
\n– I hold the final pose as long as possible. This is a good demonstration of what you can do by taking complete control of the audience<\/strong>. As long I do the correct setup, either with or without speaking, they will continue their applause as long as I keep my diabolo in the air.
\n– There are a few original tricks in the routine, but a lot of standards. Just goes to show that to make a living with juggling, you don’t have to be at the highest level, but you must be GOOD at what you AIM to do. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
