- Tuey | G.L. Berg Entertainment
Comic Stunt Juggler Tuey Comic Stunt Juggler Download Media Kit [object Object] Tuey goes beyond the usual display of juggling skills to include a wide array of manipulations. From the simplicity of tricks with a fifty-cent piece and yoyo, to the complexity of his ten part combination trick, Tuey runs the gamut, throwing cups about, spinning ropes, balls and rings, wearing flaming head gear while juggling torches perched a-top a seven foot freestanding ladder and one stunt involving three Nerf arrows, two spinning balls, and the ladder.
