We love Richard for his mystique, professionalism and the effortless beauty and awe of his contact juggling.
His work is well-described as "sublime contact juggling". One of the most distiguished jugglers ...who can achieve a range of styles from classic pin-striped juggler to a mystical character. He recently achieved a Ziggy Stardust in Paris look at a Victorian French themed wedding reception. Guests rave about his performance. Richard achieves the intimate and the skillfullly sublime from years of experience busking around the globe.... 15 different countries so far!
