Here is a nice article with video links about local jugglers Jake and Marty LaSalle. They grew up just down the road in Kennett Square and are some of the best jugglers that I have ever known. Enjoy

They were just on the news. Marty thinks you can tell that he just woke up, but the question is can you tell which one is Marty? The video is under the famous faces section, titled "family circus."

Geez, talk about Great Minds Thinking Alike (that would be Janelle and my spouse Deb)!! Deb and I just got back from a weekend in New York, where she and I saw the Big Apple Circus -- including, of course, the LaSalle Brothers!! We were all set to post something on the blog about them when we got home, but Janelle beat us to it. So good for you and thanks, Janelle!! It certainly is a really nice article.
And I'm happy to report that the twins are as superb an act as ever: everything they do is just so clean and precise and so much fun to watch. The athleticism and gymnastic talents that they bring to their performances matches their juggling expertise and (in my humble opinion) raises the bar of juggling performace several notches above anything else I've ever seen.
They have a website (no great surprise here), which is www.lasallebrothers.com which lists their previous performance jobs (including tours of Europe), and sample videos and some remarkable still photos.
Here is a really cool picture of them.

I am reading this article second time today, you have to be more careful with content leakers. If I will fount it again I will send you a link
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
