Yes, I am a little biased when I feature this man’s work (I’ve been a contact juggler for the last 10 years), but I am a sucker for people who put a new spin on contact juggling, and Jeffrey Calafato’s work with geometrical shapes is unique both in the juggling world and in the busking world.
Building a full 30-minute contact juggling show is difficult to say the least. Any “skill based” show can get boring and/or disconnected if done wrong. Contact jugglers don’t do comedy, as comedy breaks the magic, magical effect contact juggling.
Jeffrey pulls it off with his addition of the geometric shapes. His work is captivating, scientific and spiritual wrapped into one!
I am going to have to travel to Taipei and see Jeffrey Calafato’s show one day. Until then, we will keep an eye on his profile (and viral videos of his show) for updates.

Jeffery’s Response:
Thank you Dawn for the kind words in your article. You have warmed my heart at just the right time when I needed it the most. Sometimes art can be tough on the soul. Smile emoticon. The cultural architecture you give back to the community will always be paramount.
Even though we have never met, I know you are a great performer and beautiful person, just the kind of people I enjoy collaborating with. Humankind needs more people like you. I look forward to meeting you someday, until then I hope life finds you pleasantly surprised on the path of synchronicity.
Thank You so very much. 你真棒!
