in Europe's largest circus.

Group jugglers with the world's fastest juggler - Mario Berousek.
The lightening fast Czech delights the onlookers with 240 club throws per minute.

The Köln Press observes with great interest.

Mario Berousek gave approximately 40 children and youths a demonstration
of his skills. Afterwards, he offered some of his "tips and  tricks" of joggling.


Collegial support from Krone clown Jimmy Folco.

In addition, the Eleven, members of the instructional group "ZAK" - Zirkus and Artistikzentrum from Cologne Wibbelstetz were invited to participate in the pre show. They could ride, vault and allow themselves to be made-up by professional clowns to appear as real comic figures.

The "ZAK" - Zirkus and Artistikzentrum Cologne, offers circus instructions, artists, as well as a site for initial and advanced professional training. At the same time it is a place for circus fans of all ages to meet and share their circus experiences.

An interesting fact "among colleagues".
How heavy is a professional club? Exactly 250 g.
4 clubs weigh 1 kilogram and this weight is increased by the laws
of centrifugal force. "Kinder-Clubs" in contrast weigh much less.

Mario Berousek offers advice.
