Francis Brunn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis Brunn (1923-2004) was a notable German-American juggler. He was born in Aschaffenburg in Germany and after the Second World War made his home in New York. He took up juggling in 1939, joining a traveling show that played all over Europe. He moved to America to join the Ringling Brothers circus and twice performed for President Eisenhower. He finally retired from juggling in 1994.

Though he is believed to have been the first performer to juggle 10 hoops [1], he was best known for his seemingly simple routines, often involving a single ball, that required great control to perform.
