Chester Cable

The last of the great foot jugglers. I had the pleasure of working with Chester on many circuses.
The Toss and Catch
thecircusblog | January 2, 2009
This was Chester’s finish trick. He would toss it from one foot, catching it with both feet and then juggling this massive table end over end.
Chester’s One Foot

Chester Cable was a superior foot juggler. He was innovative with his juggling props as seen here where he is balancing a massive table.
Bruce Anderson

Bruce did it all when it came to high acts including a trapeze and rings routine and a one arm hand stand. He closed with a sway pole. He would sway so deep it would put the audience on the edge of their seats.
