Karl-Heinz Ziethen is known in show business not only as an expert on juggling but of circus and variety arts in general. He was a vital part of the revival of variety arts in Germany, through his assistance in providing knowledge and advice to several variety theaters such as Tigerpalast in Frankfurt and Quartier Varieté (now the Wintergarten in Berlin). Karl-Heinz Ziethen has also been active as an exhibition designer and adviser to projects such as the Rastelli exhibition in 1996 at the Chamäleon Variety Theater in Berlin. Along with Hacki Ginda, he produced a three-month Chamäleon Variety show with different performers called “Liebling der Götter,” a homage to the legendary Enrico Rastelli (1896-1931). He is an honorary member of “L’École Nationale de Cirque” in Montreal and has shown films and lectured on various areas of performing arts at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque (CNAC) in Châlons-en-Champagne, Marne (France).In 1989, Karl-Heinz Ziethen received the first Extraordinary Service Award of the “International Jugglers Association” in Baltimore (USA) for his long-term devotion to juggling. The Saltarino Prizer 2005, from the German Society of circus fans “Die Gesellschaft der Circusfreunde,” awarded for outstanding journalism in the circus and the performing arts domain is a well-deserved acknowledgment of Karl-Heinz’s contribution to the art.

If you are interested in improving your juggling skills, now with this English translation and long after the collapse of the Soviet Union, you can finally study juggling from the same textbook that the official Moscow School of Circus and Variety Arts used to teach their students. Nikolay E. Bauman was a well known Russian juggler who graduated from the Moscow School of Circus and Variety Arts in 1930. Bauman became a professor at the Moscow School of Circus and Variety Arts in 1947. In 1962, he published this juggling textbook, “The Art of Juggling. With 125 pages and 169 drawings, this manual will teach you the proper technique, mindset, and training methods to become a solid juggler and performer. In the first few chapters, the author covers the basics. After that, you will see and learn about much less common juggling and balancing stunts from a bygone era.
