Freddy Kenton is the oldest living professionally working juggler with a career that spans over seven decades. In this book, you will read about his life. You will learn about his first juggling career as a student of the art, which leads him to perform in all the top venues of the European variety scene of the second half of the 20th century, including the Moulin Rouge in Paris, the Blackpool Tower Circus, and many shows in Japan. You will also read stories about his transformation from juggler to a businessman and his success in civilian society with his foam plastic business. In the second part of this book, you will read how Freddy Kenton returned to the stage with a completely new style of juggling, which resulted in a very successful second 20+ year-long career as a juggler and him receiving the Historical Achievement Award from the International Jugglers Association. Besides an insight into Freddy's successful life, you will also read about the masters of the generation before him, the friends that he made along the way, and the new jugglers that he inspired and mentored. If you like juggling, love showbusiness, or enjoy reading about an unusual yet incredible life, you will love Freddy's life story that's in this book!
