Inscription.
A brother and sister who became two of the greatest of all jugglers.

He is renowned for his incredible speed, for using his entire body to direct the movement of objects and for being the first ever to juggle ten rings at a time. In his 60-year quest for perfection, he has combined superb showmanship with remarkable skills to elevate his craft to a high art form.

She served as his assistant in his 1948 U.S. debut on Ringling Bros. but later embarked on a solo juggling career. For 32 years, she thrilled audiences world wide, matching and occasionally exceeding the most difficult feats of the men jugglers. Honored in 1992 with the International Jugglers Association’s Historical Achievement Award.
