About John
Over 3,000 children's parties to date, and still loving it!
Juggling John (aka
John Hayns) is an accomplished physical-comedy-circus type
performer, never happier than when doing clever, funny, stupid and/or dangerous
things with people watching. His recent engagements have included
a medieval banquet, an 18th birthday at the (very posh) Benenden
Girls School, a group of Norwegian businessmen in an Indian
restaurant in Soho amd teaching a group of nuns how to mime...
to say he is highly adaptable is an understatement!
Apparently John made eveyone sit down at his own 6th birthday party to watch him perform magic tricks! He was taught to
juggle at the age of twelve by a friend of the family. He
went on to enjoy free entrance to many a May ball when studying
for an Engineering degree at St John's College, Oxford. This
was also where John received his grounding in fire eating,
street performance and children's entertainment.
After university
he was a professional children's worker for four years before
leaving to take formal mime training at the Desmond Jones
School, one of the top three mime schools in the world, where
he was a star pupil.
As well as being Juggling John, he does grown-up walkabout magic as magician Johnny Oxford (www.johnnyoxford.co.uk) and runs the entertainment agency Jugglers Etc (www.jugglersetc.com) for children's entertainment and children's parties in and around London and Oxford with his wife Clare.
Past clients include
Universal Pictures, Microsoft, The Conran Family, Jack Dee, Disney Channel,
Children's ITV, Carlton Kids, Discover Card, IBM, BMW, Dell Computers, Comic Relief, Cambridge
Consultants, Hewlett Packard and Pretty Polly to name but
a few.
John is married with three boys under the age of ten. He is fully police checked, is a member of Equity and the Magic Circle and has full public liability insurance
