It's always funny to me when they show someone doing an easy trick in a movie and the crowd is enthralled.. And I'm all 'I can do that! I learned that in a week!'<br /><br />Pretty much anytime there is a fair going on, there's a juggler in there somewhere. :)AJ Lauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354238149097137060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-58520600069063894012013-04-12T02:25:35.477-07:002013-04-12T02:25:35.477-07:00After reading this post, I'll definitely be on...After reading this post, I'll definitely be on the lookout for any juggling in any movies I watch in the future!

None of your movies are familiar except for Jewel of the Nile (really like this movie). Also wanted to add my thanks for hosting and starting the A-Z.

It's been many years since I've seen this, but I seem to remember one market scene or something where they where juggling large scimitars or some such weapons.<br /><br />StMc -- Agreed about W.C. I think some of his humor was so subtle and refined that modern audiences miss it. Have you seen the film I've mentioned and the amazing juggling act he does? I thought it was very good especially considering his physical condition at the time--pretty good stuff for an older overweight drunk.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
