This beautifully smooth flow of keeping things moving through the air is the ancient circus art of juggling. These days the term can include a dizzying assortment of styles &#8211; everything from flying chainsaws to \u201ccontact\u201d juggling in which the balls never actually lose contact with the artists\u2019 hands, but still appear to defy gravity as they are manipulated through space. Whatever the style, Phare productions would not be complete without a juggling act or two\u2026<a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/juggling2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1299\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/juggling2.jpg\" alt=\"juggling(2)\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The picture at the top shows a depiction of juggling from an ancient Egyptian tomb. Although there is no telling when exactly humans started juggling, it is safe to say that they were one of the earliest civilizations to perfect the art.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the current world record, set by Alex Barron in 2013, is thirteen beanbags juggled at once. Remember, that is just with two hands!\u00a0 Also impressive, in 2009 David Slick juggled three balls for twelve hours and five minutes straight. The real magic of juggling is that a truly talented performer can make even just a couple balls seem to dance with a life of their own. Phare jugglers show a true creative flair by using props, other performers, and even bouncing balls off the floor and wall to challenge their skills.<a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/juggling3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1300\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/juggling3.jpg\" alt=\"juggling(3)\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When most people think of juggling they picture three round orbs, but don\u2019t forget juggling isn\u2019t just about balls. Anything from knives to vegetables, if it can be thrown, it can be juggled.\u00a0 Phare\u2019s juggling repertoire includes balls, rings and clubs\u2026 and for something truly spectacular, you won\u2019t want to miss them juggling with fire. Performing feats that would be impressive on their own, these jugglers bring the heat by substituting flaming torches for juggling clubs. If the fire juggling performance leaves you burning for more, don\u2019t worry. Phare has an arsenal of fire arts at their disposal that you will have to see to believe.<a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/juggling4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1301\" src=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/juggling4.jpg\" alt=\"juggling(4)\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get your dose of juggling, as well as an astounding array of other circus arts, at Phare &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pharecircus.org\/tickets\">every night at 8:00pm.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juggling at Phare Have you ever been amazed by a circus artist continuously tossing any number of objects in the air one after the other and miraculously catching them?
