 Thomas Dietz (born 19 May 1982) is a professional juggler from Regensburg, Germany.[1] His father taught him to juggle three oranges when he was three years and nine months old.[2] Thomas started practicing seriously in 1990,[1] and introduced himself to the world in 2003 by juggling 5 glow balls for over an hour on the renegade stage at the EJC in Svendborg, Denmark.[3]

In 2003 and 2004,[4][5] Mark Probst produced a series of ten Thomas Dietz juggling videos, which Thomas now has on his Juggling.tv account. In 2009, Thomas made an 11th video in the series, which he posted on his Youtube channel and his Juggling.tv account, and released a DVD that includes videos 12 and 13.

In 2004, Thomas competed at the IJA and the WJF for the first time and won two IJA competitions and two WJF competitions. He continued to compete for the next few years and won the WJF Overall Championship every year from 2005 to 2008.[6][7]

Thomas was voted the world's most popular juggler in Luke Burrage's Top 40 Jugglers poll in 2006,[8] and he was in the top 40 list every year from 2003 to 2014.
