| Description: |
Meadowbrook Public Library presents a Performance by Magician, Juggler & Entertainer Jonathan Austin on Monday, June 18, 2018. Jonathan Austin will entertain all ages with his magic tricks, juggling and jokes. Jonathan Austin is one of Richmond, Virginia's most recognizable figures and, despite his youthful age, one of it's most veteran performers entertaining for over 20 years. He's a juggler, a magician, a comic and unicyclist. Jonathan Austin's magic cuts across all lines and that's no illusion. His unmistakable performances combine the sensational and the subtle, which leaves adults and children, young and old, families and singles thoroughly staggered and astonished, and helplessly laughing from his audience interaction. Jonathan Austin engages people of all ages with his quick wit and fast-paced humor, often leaving them laughing at one joke while bellies and mouths play catch-up to roar at the next. A veteran of The Village Gate and The Comic Strip nightclubs in New York City, New Orleans' French Quarter and several resorts and cruise lines is a first-class performer, who also has been featured on ABC and PBS. Award-winning, full of action and critically acclaimed, Jonathan provides plenty of good times and great feelings through spontaneity and ad libs, and still manages to leave them wanting more. Everyone has a calling card and Jonathan Austin has his, Juggling. There is nothing Jonathan won't juggle: clubs, rings, canoe paddles, rubber chickens, baseball bats, a hodgepodge of balls, basketballs, soccer balls, bowling balls, tennis balls; even a torch and blade here and there (and only outdoors). Around his back, under his legs, with objects of varying weight and shape at the same time, at varying speeds and orbital patterns; nothing is out of question when there is a juggling emergency. It's no wonder Jonathan is one of the region's most popular individual performers and drawing crowds at major events all along the East Coast.
