Eddy Carello Jr.

 

Edouard Hunziker (his real name) is a 19-year-old Swiss citizen, son of an artistic family, who began juggling at age 11. From then until now, he has worked basically in German and Swiss cabarets, but says he is very interested in the circus. He put on a very classical act with balls, clubs, and balancing. He finished with torches, which pleased the jury. Eddy put on a flawless act that was rewarded by a silver medal and the Michel Oks Prize.

 

Tees Csaba

Csaba is an 18-year-old from the Budapest Circus School. He was inspired mostly by Kris Kremo, but unfortunately for him he was badly served by a poor audiotape which prevented the spectators from fully appreciating his act. He worked

with a cane and bowler hat, three balls, then three cigar boxes, before finishing with five boxes aligned in a vertical balance. He received a special prize from Coca-Cola.
