Luke Burrage

From JuggleWiki

From the rec.juggling archive:

As others have said, the handsome fellow you spoke to would have been the juggling phenomenomenom, Luke Burrage. He is known throughout the world as a record breaking juggler. He recently broke his own record with 3 balls with an unbelievable 11 throws. And he is working on his holy grail, the fourminutemile of Lukes Juggling, 4 balls. He is rumoured to have managed 13 catches but hasn't managed to perform it in public yet but might have it on video. This is better than even those jugglers who take the drug antidroppolene, breaking the rules of the World Juggling Federation and who will not only damage their health but have their licenses revoked. At the moment Luke is training to join the circus. He has two more balls than most. He is a founding member of "The Real LAP", a terrorist splinter group of the LAP (which is now under ceasefire) . In his spare time he writes letters to juggling magazines which try to convince the Guiness Book of Records to accept unverified historic juggling records. Luke has a lucrative sponsorship deal with Barnesy Bag Inc. He is also a master prop maker himself designing both the rocket powered diabolo and the non-spinning juggling club. He has written three books on the subject of Juggling Zen (Juggling Zen: Throwing Life, Juggling Zen 2: Juggling Zen Follies and Juggling Zen 3: Too Freaked to Handle) and one book on his experiences of a plane crash he was involved in. A must read for all jugglers. Some people view him as a juggling idiot, visionary, some people rip off his routines, some people treat him with contempt. He gets along with Fergie but is in the kill file of Stephen Whitis. He is hated on this forum for posting large binary files.

He also had a great website Luke Burrages Thing On The Net, which you can now only view here: http://www.areyougullible.com/lukeburrage
