THE STAGE — I've seen people juggling balls, clubs and even dangerous items like knives or lit torches — but none of those juggling acts has been quite as mesmerizing as this act with cigar boxes.
It almost looks as if this juggler figured out how to overcome gravity as boxes hover in the air in front of him while he tosses and rotates other boxes.
The person who posted this video to YouTube said it shows Kris Kremo in a 1993 Christmas special of "The Generation Game." The Museum of Juggling History said Kremo is "one of the most famous and respected jugglers of all time" and won the juggling division of the Circus World Championships.
By touching only the two end boxes, Kremo is able to stack 11 boxes onto each other and balance them all on his chin.
There are parts of the video where I was almost certain the one box was somehow attached to his suit, until it moved — it seems there must be something helping the boxes stay, until they move, proving they were able to separate the whole time.
And the juggler does it all to music so he doesn't have any room for errors.
I hope you enjoy this flawless, gravity-defying act as much as I did, and if you want to see what Kremo can do with hats, it is just as jaw-dropping.
