Rob Murray – Australian Juggling Legend

Rob Murray was an Australian juggler born in 1909. He was best known as a talking comedy juggler, but he also was quite talented technically. He had many television appearances on many top programs, usually performing without music, but instead telling jokes during the tricks. Rob was a protégé of juggler Rebla, and was quite versatile. His routines included ball / hat / billiard cue, 3 to 7 balls, 3 and 4 clubs, 3 plates, a Salerno ring while juggling 3 balls, the 3 golf clubs and ball balance trick, spinning various items like a plate, 4 ball bouncing, juggling billiard balls and catching them in pockets around his body, and various balances. He performed into his 70s, and passed away in 1984. He was reported to be the world’s first juggler millionaire. Let’s take a look at some photos and videos of Rob from throughout his career.
