Francis Brunn (1922-2004) remains one of the most iconic jugglers of all time. His incredible speed, amazing ball spinning and manipulation skills, and original combination tricks, such as the Brunn Finish pictured above, made him a superstar among variety artists for over fifty years. Combining his unmatched juggling skills with flamenco dance, Brunn was a true artist.
