ROLAND WEISE - GERMANY

Two young Egyptian jugglers will be fixed in the Central Study of Entertainment in Berlin - German Democratic Republic. Through an agreement between the Egyptian National Circus, and the director of the German Entertainment Study, these two Egyptian boys will study for one year in Berlin. One will be a juggler with bottles and rings, and the other will be an antipodist. Because the teacher-in-chief, Richard Hardy from the German school, will be in Cairo for two years, the old and well known German juggler and antipodist Walter Hauenstein from Halle will teach these Egyptian boys. This summer their first debut will be in the variety program of the Worlds Youth Festival in Berlin-GDR.

JUGGLING QUESTION

For a novice juggler, what would be a good basic three club juggling trick? First the cascade and then under both legs, but what next?

One of two "next" tricks to "learn might be doubles. Instead of doing the cascade with single turns, learn to do it with double turns of the clubs.

The other trick to learn would be two in one hand. There are many club moves that require this skill and also it is a step toward juggling four.

FROM TONY CURTAIN

Am currently touring South America with Holiday On Ice. Francis Brunn is now in Sao Paulo with Circo Tihany. Wish I could catch the show as it is excellent, but it looks like this will not be possible.

BOB GOOD WRITES

The Ringling show was on television and I imagine that you saw it. Picasso was about the only juggling on the show, but I thought that they did a real nice job covering the acts.

Also, I recently saw Albert Lucas on Runaround. He did the five ring color change and another move involving three rings on each arm, two on the raised leg, and three spinning plates on a mouthpiece.

I get to see Billy Tirko every so often and he can still juggle up a storm. One of his four ball moves is to cascade three while the fourth ball moves up and down on the one side. r have never worked on the trick but perhaps you have tried it and could give some tips on doing it. (Ed.-The tip is to practice it a lot]
