Bio
Jim had learned to juggle by the age of seven but he still had no act. He began to seriously pursue juggling towards the end of high school and practiced up to 8 hours a day to juggle up to 7 balls with nearly successful attempts made at 8 & 10 ball juggling. Though he performed at local talent shows he still had no act. In 1986 he performed as a street act at the Houston Festival and realized he needed an act. From then on he worked on street performing and the ability to connect with a crowd and create comedic moments with the audience. Jim performs routines open to improv rather than a strict scripted act . No two shows are exactly the same. After twenty years working on an act Jim has finally began to practice juggling again with new routines in mind in the near future.
