This is the fourth volume in a series where I try to provide updates on jugglers who were once in spotlight, either via the IJA conventions, performances, or otherwise, but who aren’t so much anymore. As I did in the first three of these articles, I hope that reading this either reminds you of this juggler, or introduces you to …
The Laziest Juggler – Tom Hearn
As I’ve stated in the past, many of my research projects, which in turn become articles for eJuggle, are initiated purely out of curiosity. I see something that is interesting about a long ago juggler that I’ve never heard of, and I want to learn more. This was the case with I saw the following postcard available on an online …
Jugglers In Love
Over the past few months, my monthly eJuggle article has been connected to a holiday, and this month continues the trend. For many people, February brings thoughts of Valentine’s Day, a day when much of the world recognizes the joys of love and when we celebrate those that we love romantically. With this in mind, I thought it would be …
Juggling New Year’s Hopes
Happy New Year. This time of year, many people make resolutions – things they “promise” to do during the next twelve months. Non-jugglers make resolutions such as losing weight, getting in better shape, saving more money, or any number of other goals which usually take work. Jugglers likely have resolutions like qualify eight balls, finally learn that difficult siteswap pattern, …
“Mystery” Vaudeville Jugglers – The Juggling Burkes, The Four Juggling Mortons, and The 3 Juggling Jordons
Background As I mentioned in my article on The Tennis Trio back in September 2016, which can be found here, researching information on jugglers from the Vaudeville era can be quite challenging. At least with The Tennis Trio, I was able to find several photos and the names of the performers. My latest project, which I’ll outline here, proved even …
The Twelve Juggling Days Of Christmas
I’m not sure how it is in other parts of the world, but in the USA, it seems like you can’t go anywhere without constantly hearing Christmas songs this time of year. Don’t get me wrong, I love many of them, and certain ones, in certain situations, help to get me into the holiday spirit. Unfortunately, there are stores that …
Young Juggling Stars of The Lone Star State
Historically speaking, the state of Texas (United States of America) hasn’t really had a huge impact on the world of juggling, at least not for an area of its size. However, that may be changing. There’s no doubt that there are some very good jugglers there now (though many are not native Texans), or that Texas has produced some good …

Scott Cain – Updates on Previous eJuggle Articles
For this month’s article, I thought I would do some follow-ups on my previous twenty articles. I’ve been writing for eJuggle for just over a year and a half now. I (usually) enjoy hearing from readers on my articles, some of which ask specifically for feedback, ideas, or assistance. In some cases, I actually go back into articles and make …
