. David Lichtenstein - Though Lichtenstein recently left to see Europe, his original and topical act was seen for several years in the scheduled locations as well as around Pier 41, Jefferson Street and the cable car turn-around. Using a casual verbal comedy, Lichtenstein performs balls, boxes, three and four clubs, lariat and a finale of social commentary while juggling a globe, MX missle and broom, all on a six foot unicycle.

. Mitchell Barrett and Aly the Wonderdog - On the streets for two years, Barrett's act presents comedy juggling with the help of Aly and various child volunteers. His act builds toward a three torch juggle on the slack rope which prominently features a volunteer. He will soon be performing a partner act with a young woman who also walks the rope and juggles.

· The Butterfly Man - Long the enfant terrible of San Francisco's streets, Robert Nelson's act of snappy repartee (and solid juggling) has been a model for how to walk the line between comedy and vulgarity on such controversial issues as race, sex, religion and family. Known also for his skill in deflecting hecklers, Nelson features five balls, a wild unicycle ride through the crowd, machetes, clubs and club swinging.

· Ray Jason - Most famous of the street jugglers, Jason's act is sure-fire family style comedy featuring torch juggling while blindfolded, a cascade with three 14-pound bowling balls, and eating an apple while riding on a unicycle and juggling two hatchets.

· Fred Anderson - On the streets since 1975, Anderson worked with Kit Trueblood as The Mizmos for many years, but now primarily works solo. His act includes comedy juggling with devil sticks, balls, boxes, machetes, torches, inventive lariat tricks and a masterful finale juggling a torch and battle axe while eating an apple - all on a tight rope!

· Dana Smith - A Bay Area performer for five years (although on the streets for nearly ten), Smith presents a variety show which include juggling, acrobatics and stunts with Sunshine, his trained Belgian Shepherd. Dana displays prop balancing, ball spinning, three clubs, rhythm stick, and a human and canine duet on "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?"

· Vaudeville Nouveau - Dan Mankin, Mark Sackett and Jeff Raz, all veteran street performers, present a fast-paced variety act combining choreographed juggling, tumbling, physical comedy and verbal repartee. The trio performs balls, clubs (with a wonderfully idiotic rubber chicken), three ping pong balls from the mouth, and the gravity-defying "Jump Rope of Death." Their indoor work at theaters and fairs is leading them off the streets now.

American Dream Juggling Team Scott Meltzer and Jon Parker came to the streets four years ago and now have a fastpaced collegiate-style act of boisterous comedy and brash humor. Tricks include passing eight clubs, juggling three torches on top of a two-high wlth an-under-the-Ieg-throw, and eating an apple juggled with two machetes on a six-foot unicycle.

· High Street Circus - Wheeler Cole and Andrew Potter arrived here over three years ago from Rhode Island and have prospered with their down-homey characters and casual humor. Using balancing feats for an opener, they move into fire-eating, skipping rope on a tall unicycle, and passing six mismatched objects on tall unis. Their endearing finale presents a catchy, original ballad, "The Juggler and the Gypsy," sung in two-part harmony while they half-juggle balls and use their other two hands to share strumming and fretwork on the mandolin.
