Boxes Act (2009)

Cigar box act I made in 2009, performed at school and a benefit show for a youth nonprofit circus I used to be in. Circus Smirkus tours around New England helping other nonprofits fundraise and performing at hospitals etc. (support them here: http://smirkus.org/htm/support/index.html )

Awesome!  What types of boxes are you using?

[EricBMcgill]

@JasonKollum- Dube's plastic boxes, they're awesome! They're pretty much invincible, i was stepping on the boxes and obviously dropping them a lot in practice and they hold up really well over time. Some of the ones in that act i got in 2000 and still use.

@EricBMcgill 2000?! I'd be elated to be even half the box juggler you are when I will have been juggling for eleven years.

By the way, what is the name of the musical piece that you performed to?

[EricBMcgill]

@hydrogyre Haha i think anyone could get way better than me in 11 years, i just started really getting into boxes (like 4 box stuff) around when i put up 'cigar boxes 1'. You can see my progression from there. Thank you though. The music is by Yann Tiersen. Thanks for watching.

I can't believe this video only has 5605 views ... it should have millions. Minimum.

Fantastic, this is art, this is a very very fucking good act, so congratulation. Beautiful the domino and the final tower. Very good rithme and high tecnique mixed together to create a fantastic act.
