Now featuring: Grandpa's Juggling Trunk

What happens when a young juggler finds his famous forebear's old prop box in the attic? Out come the clubs and rings, and each souvenir of grandpa's journeys has a story. More about this show.

From balls to boxes to bowling pins, they all fly through the air with the greatest of ease when The Amazing Aaron takes the stage. Join him for an exploration of juggling and balance, with ancient Chinese secrets, vaudeville classics, and a finale so complex it leaves even Aaron speechless. One way or another, he'll have you saying, "That's amazing."

Audience Ages

My shows, while suitable for all ages, will appeal to children three and up. Small children should not be left unattended during the show, and they must be restrained from entering the performance area unasked; this is for their safety. Likewise, I will not be able to make sure a child does not wander away from the performance, except by providing a riveting show.

  • Teachers say:

    The Amazing Aaron's "Balance and Motion Juggling Show" created a balanced learning environment, where our kids were able to concretely relate the balance/motion TEKS and vocabulary concepts with an exciting visual dimension. The presentation, itself, was clear and concise yet thorough and valuable. Aaron's positive and genuine attitude connected with the students and made them become almost hypnotized by his performance. I hope that we can get Aaron to come to our school again next year!
