This is French “magic” champion Yann Frisch. Yann started juggling and practicing slight of hand at 10 years old and joined a circus school at the age of 17. He now is well-known for his fresh, “absurdist” approach to the classic cup and balls routine (shown above in this viral video from the 2012 Beijing International Magic Convention). Has the kid seen this?!

Thanks, @cosentino.

The 2012 Japanese Juggling Festival was held in Tokyo in early October, where contact juggler Yanazo wowed the audience with his incredible balance and speed control of just one ball for half the performance.

Interested in trying out a few contact juggling tricks? Check out Yanazo’s well-practiced skills more closely:

Thanks, @farleykj and @laniharmon.
