Jens The Gentleman Juggler-Moisture Fest 2010

A great show lined up for you tonight. Let's get things right off the bat. Let's get the show started. Our first act has come all the way from Europe, I believe, judging by his name. Please give a warm Moisture Festival welcome to Monsieur Jeton. Half of my props are gone. I need them. Thank you. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening, boys and girls. It's a very big pleasure for me here to perform here tonight at the Moisture Festival. I would like to use that opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Jeton. I'm half German, half French. German from my mother's side, French from a good friend of my father's side. I'll give you a little bit more time. We always have some guests from Canada. As you can see, I'm a gentleman juggler, an art form that comes from the Roaring Twenties. And in those days, gentlemen jugglers used everyday objects. The next routine that I'm going to present to you is going to be a routine with cups and saucers. And I hope you'll enjoy it. Music, please. People come up to me and they ask me, How did you learn all that weird juggling and balancing stuff? I can't really tell you because unusual things have been in our family. For example, my grandmother. She started jogging at the age of 85. And she did 5 kilometers each day. Today, we don't know where she is. At least you guys like it. Thank you. I would like to apologize to the band over here. I'm turning always my back to you. And that's not really nice for a gentleman. But please believe me, this side doesn't have a better view. They look right in my face. Okay, another 30 cups and the number is finished. By the applause, I can hear that all that didn't impress you much. So, I would like to raise the technical level. I will try to do the almost impossible. I have here a little white sugar cube. And I will try to throw this little sugar cube from my foot to the top cup. If that would work out, I would be surprised myself. Thank you very much for that nice round of applause. I would like to take a bow. But now, as a finale of my act, I would like to show you my last trick. I would like to show you the throw with a spoon from the foot to the top cup. For all the younger ones between you, please remember the last concert of Tokyo Hotel. I can see in most of the faces that name that doesn't really ring a bell. So, for all the others, please remember the last concert of Tom Jones, The Beatles or whoever. If it really happens, just freak out. Pressure, please. Hey, Paul, it's just a show. Paul. Part of the act. I just called to say, where are you? I got him, the little bugger. I hope you are not in a hurry. Yesterday took me half an hour. Audience. Some call it ground coffee. Oh, ----. I'm happy that you're still here. You know what we do? I'll try one more time. If it really works out, I will be more than happy. If not, please come back tomorrow. Gentleman juggler, Monsieur Jeton.
