Michael Moschen in Motion

Quite simply, Michael Moschen has revolutionized juggling, refining it into an art and a bit of a science.

With a penchant for discipline, choreography, and catching flying balls — and using props that include flaming torches, hoops, rods, and a ten-foot plastic triangle enclosure within which he stands, bouncing balls against the sides to achieve incredible patterns and velocities — he creates illusions of speed and light that push the envelope of what is possible within this age-old circus art.

“Mr. Moschen is a juggler. But that simple statement, though accurate, fails to do justice to the enchantment of his presentation. Mr. Moschen turns juggling into a fine art, so that it grows akin to dance … Mr. Moschen creates what could be called a visual music in space with his juggling.” — New York Times
