Jugging Personality: Anthony Gatto

The man, the myth, the legend, Anthony Gatto. Some call him the best juggler in the world, some call him God. He happens to be the guy who was performing in Cirque de Soleil the day I went, and the guy who I give complete credit to for inspiring me to start juggling.

Gatto started performing when he was ten in Las Vegas, and hasn't stopped since. He also happens to hold 12 world records including longest time juggling 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 rings, 6 ,7 and 8 clubs and 7, 8 and 9 balls. Totally not a big deal. When you watch the video below you will understand that this man can not possibly be from this planet.

Anthony Gatto can be compared to Neo from the Matrix. They both have absurd amounts of skill in their field, and Anthony Gatto is most definitely The One in juggling terms. Neo can stop 12 bullets from simultaneously hitting his face, and Gatto can stop 12 balls from doing the same thing. Maybe they are brothers!

Again....Just watch the video and your mind will understand
