The perfomance by circus artist Valeri Tkach is original and unique in it's own new way of juggling.

Original Juggling:
A breathtaking rhythmical performance, perfectly synchronized with captivating music. Valeri juggles, balances and spins 9 hoops and 4 sticks all around his body. His technique of catching stick on stick and throwing the sticks with a knife that he's holding in his mouth is exceptional.

Vertex:
This show full of mystery and rhythmical beats blurs the borders between reality and imagination.Valeris incredibly skilled juggling makes the audience believe in supernatural forces. Rings and sticks are thrown through the air with breathtaking precision using hands, feet and even the mouth. At the same time, Valeri is spinning additional rings around his arms and legs. Even the most critical spectator is entirely convinced as Valeri juggles the long sticks with mouth and hands high over the heads of the stunned public. This act is the ultimate highlight of every show!
