There is probably nobody else in the world
who juggles the clubs faster than Mario Berousek,

with his parsonality, presence and artistic proficiency:
He won the first prize in the Enschede Circus Festival in 1997,
the silver medal of the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris
and most recently in 1999 a special price at the
23rd Circus Festival of Monte Carlo.
