Interview With Nick Pike
In a recent interview on Remote Patrolled, Nick Pike opens up about his America’s Got Talent experience. He discusses the three acts he was able to perform, his minor feud with judge Piers Morgan, and his post-AGT plans.
When asked if he would have done anything differently, Nick says:
I have no regrets. I achieved what I set out to do – and then some. I had a lot of fun performing and meeting all the other contestants on the show. I would love to thank all of my supporters and fans out there, and challenge any of my critics to get out of their arm chair audition for the show, make it to the top 48, and then get back to me!!

No commentsA Juggling Muppet on Sesame Street
We were recently clued in to this piece of Sesame Street gold from ToughPigs.com, a website “for Muppet fans who grew up.”
It seems that Dexter only appeared on the childrens’ show twice, but we were impressed with the skill that must have gone in to creating a Muppet that can carry on a conversation and juggle.
We wonder how far Dexter would make it on America’s Got Talent. (Still feeling for you Nick Pike!)
No commentsResults In, Nick Pike Out, On America’s Got Talent
Despite a fiery performance, Nick Pike couldn’t overcome the judges’ negativity and win the vote on America’s Got Talent.
Our hat’s off to Nick for getting as far as he did in the competition and showing great class by apologizing for some angry behavior exhibited the night before.
Nick has a lot of skill and a lot of passion that comes out every time he performs. We appreciate him representing jugglers this year on AGT!

3 commentsNick Pike Receives Second Chance on America’s Got Talent
Apparently America’s Got Talent wasn’t done with Nick Pike after all!
The cruise ship juggler–who suffered the fate of nearly all jugglers on the popular talent competition last week–was invited back to join the top 48 line-up in Hollywood last night.
Nick received this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the sword swallowing act of Twisted Trystan and Krystan withdrew from the competition.
Here’s his performance from last night:
That’s right, even though they brought him back, the judges gave Nick nothing but grief. Luckily the judges no longer decide who moves forward. Nick Pike’s fate is now in the hands of the American public.
1 commentJugglers Ousted Again on America’s Got Talent
We should have seen it coming.
Last week, the few jugglers that got through to Las Vegas on America’s Got Talent were quickly sent packing.
In what seems like an endless supply of rejection, the jugglers were once again dismissed from the summer talent show, despite demonstrating skill far beyond many who were put through to Hollywood.
Those of us in the Juggling Subculture are once again left scratching our heads, wondering if any jugglers will ever be given a the chance to present their talents to the American public.
Here’s Nick Pike’s Vegas performance:
1 commentBaby Juggling in Megamind Trailer
Just like millions of 4th of July weekend moviegoers, we cried our way through Toy Story 3 this weekend. (How does Pixar do it every time?!?!)
It was an extra bonus to see some baby juggling during the trailer for Megamind.
We doubt Dube will be coming out with a line of stage babies any time soon, and we don’t recommend trying this with the real thing unless, of course. you happen to have superpowers!

Kristen Stewart–of the Twilight movie fame–recently showed off her hidden juggling skills on an episode of Lopez Tonight.
Now that we know this vampire lover can juggle, sign us up for team Bella!
No commentsTwo New Juggling Films
A couple of new films have recently popped up in the juggling subculture.
Olga Kay just released Olga Kay’s Circus. This beautifully filmed short bills itself as “YouTube’s first interactive circus,” letting you chose your own adventure towards the end.

Here’s the trailer:
Also, Michael Karas recently released his film Spark.
He describes it as “a combination of traditional toss juggling and innovative non-traditional kinetic-based art.”
Here’s the trailer for Spark:
