Juggling is a journey filled with paradoxes and intricacies. This book, "The Paradoxes of Juggling," reveals insights that all the juggling legends understood by grasping these paradoxes. While many books teach you how to juggle, few focus on the art of learning itself. This book fills that void. You might say that the book you're holding is the vital link within a trilogy of juggling guides stemming from the golden age of the Soviet circus.

Michael Staroseletsky, the author, hails from the same era as many of the Russian school dynasty greats, such as Kiss, Ignatov, and Rudenko. Think of Alexander Kiss, renowned for his insights into the juggler's mindset in "If You Are a Juggler," and Alexander Bauman, whose work "The Art of Juggling" served as the textbook for Soviet juggling education. Staroseletsky's new book bridges the gap between theory and practice and features a foreword by the exceptional American juggler Albert Lucas.
