Hi! My name’s Emmanuël! I’m from Montréal Québec. I learned to juggle in high school and the passion was so strong I couldn’t stop unless my health made me! I always thought I’d become a juggling teacher at some point so I developed a lot of introspection to discover the secrets of the discipline. It made the journey even more fun and helping others with my knowledge is something I cherish.
I’ve dreamed of having a TOTM video since the series started and it motivated me to train a lot of new tricks since this last spring. Before that I was training to get my skills back, I couldn’t juggle for a few years after finishing l’Académie Fratellini. It feels amazing to have this opportunity to juggle again and share what fuels my life. Expect more from me! Also go check my insta and YouTube where you can see my improvised sequences that have a very unique style.
Big love to all the jugglers who’ve supported me through the years. Juggling makes miracles a reality!

Lyrics:
I’m already passing the torch.
I know you know how to lighten up and be there for each other.
You’re at the top of using props so you know how to pick someone up.
Thank you for juggling together. It’s time to do the pirouette that brings us all together.
Pringouette! (bring a what?)
It’s a pleasure to be here.
Let me share my treasures with you.
There ain’t no measures that would make me do a skip on this.
I’m no kangaroo.
I do hope that my juggles make enough ripples to make their way to you.
Well if you’re hearing this it’s probably because they do.
I’m happy to say that I get to be in the same community than you.
(Our community!)
Game recognizes game,
I know you’ve got game too.
Look what we came to,
they’re giving us these looks as if we’re off the hook.
They understood what they witnessed is amazing.
They’re so engaged they want to arrange a booking.
But not like a referee!
We’re the ones who mean business with our cards.
Our hands are full with magic to fulfill the traffics of the hearts.
(Blood flow)
What the em og says is for real.
You’re as real as me if you didn’t realize it yet, wait until we’ve met.
You’ll see what’s next,
it’ll be a moment that we won’t forget.
I hold you in my heart like a multiplex.
Even when we’re not throwing a party we’re still a throwing party!
There’s no catch to flowing but sometimes there’s a lot of catches.
You’re not just alright you left me sparked like if you were matches.
The connections aren’t only worth points in competitions.
These friendships are the point of focus.
The rest of what we do is often called hocus pocus.
The fact might be bogus but the reflexes are an appreciated bonus.
Ours hands are agile they could mold argyle while saving something fragile.
But what really makes us smile is when they help us express our style in a way we find truly worthwhile.
Gotta give each other our flowers for the way we impress.
But I’m pressing you to make a promess to you, to yourself,
to find a way to make your juggling confess
what kind of process you’re going thru and how you’re making progress on the path that’s the truest to you.
To be able to share that is a real prowess.
I’ll take the lead. With a real prowess.
My life used to be a real mess but sometimes even illness is for the best
it brought me back to my humanness
at my lowest point I was homeless in Paris with no compass on which to rely for which steps to go for next.
I might not have accomplished much professionally ever since then
but now I’m feeling blessed forever to be able to take care of my health the way I do.
That’s a real blessing.
I know what I need now and it’s not for the people to come out only with a “wow”
when they experience what I’m about.
I wanna encourage them to go on their own route and discover for themselves what they’re all about.
I’ma give myself my flowers I took the powers to be and made miracles that turned me
into a flowering human of the people.
Hopefully these syllables
find whom they concern and may their ripples
turn out into waves that are the vehicles
that will lead us on the way to miracles.
Juggle, juggle, juggles.
That was a bouquet from the Em oG
