About a year ago I was eating fire at the Lexington Farmer's Market WAY too early on a Saturday morning. Wile searching for a pitch I spotted in the distance what could only be juggling balls flying well above the crowd. I finagled my way into a spot where I could see what the hubub was about and my jaw dropped. Here was a kid no older than 18 juggling more pieces than I'd ever seen any professional attempt with the ease of riding a bike. He went on to showcase many ball and pin tricks I'd never seen in any circus or sideshow. And I'd seen a few.
After only a little begging he agreed to do some shows with us and I've never ceased to be amazed by his talent. It seems like every time he performs I see something I've never seen before.
Which is what all this is really all about.
His name is Michael Sikora. And you can see him this Saturday. At The Boomslang Carnival.
