Jason Garfield (born August 9, 1974) is an American juggler who was born in Norwalk, Connecticut and grew up in Seattle, Washington. He is the founder and president of the World Juggling Federation.[1]
Jason started juggling when he was 11, and at age 13 he won the 1988 IJA Juniors competition.[2] By the time he was 15, he had juggled 9 balls, 9 rings, and 7 clubs, and done 200 catches of 5 club backcrosses.[3]
After taking a six-year break from juggling, Jason went on to juggle 10 balls[2] and 10 rings,[4] and tied with Bruce Sarafian for the 11 ball world record (12 catches) in 1997.[5] In 2000, Jason beat Bruce's record with 14 catches.[6](video) (The record has since been broken by Alex Barron.)
Jason has been producing instructional materials for juggling since 2000, starting with the series of Juggling Master videos.[7] The latest versions of his instructional videos and book are:
- The Theory and Practice of Juggling - A video that teaches basic patterns for up to 7 balls, 7 rings, and 5 clubs.
- Etudes for Juggling: The Next Three Years of Your Life - A video that teaches siteswaps, overheads, halfshower, full reverse, shower, backcrosses, body throws, shoulder throws, 360s, and 180s (including dance training for 360s from professional dance instructors).
- JUGGLING: Fundamental Exercises and Practice Structure - A workbook that covers everything in both videos.
Jason founded the World Juggling Federation in 2000, with the goals of expanding public awareness of juggling as a sport,[4] producing sport juggling competition programs for ESPN, providing an incentive for jugglers to push themselves to their technical limits,[1] and increasing the number of good competitive jugglers in the world.[8]
Jason was voted the world's most popular juggler in the Top 40 Jugglers poll in 2004[9], and was featured on that list ten years in a row (2003-2012).
