This is a gem! I just couldn’t believe that I’d never seen this clip before, I was so happy to stumble upon this old footage from
the Lotte Francis Brunn Documentary. and shows that Lotte was also an INCREDIBLE juggler too, although over-shadowed by her brother Francis.
And just for anyone who might have missed it, here is the the most famous video clip of Francis in Action on the Jack Benny Show.mpg 74Mb.
Same video as a 30Mb avi
Same video on youtube – lower res The assistant is Lotte, not showcasing in this clip.
Brunn, a Master of this art.
A hero of the MoM crew, and of the whole Juggling and manipulation world. More videos to come this week in Brunn week on MoM.
Enjoy, Drew.
i read an interview with him the other day and after a little research found that he was 73 at the time and still performing two shows a night, with a plastic hip, smashed up fingers and two cracked ribs. thats just unreal. definitely one of my biggest inspirations. thanks for the links drew, that first one is new to me.
WOW. That was simply inspiring. I have a nice warm feeling inside after watching that. I think I’ll be practicing for the next 6 hrs now 😛
