So you want to learn to juggle? Perhaps a little street performing is what you have in mind. Jeff
offers workshops on a number of different topics and has taught people of all ages and skill levels
from coast to coast. In fact, in 1998, Jeff taught more than 150 workshops for a total of more than 2,ooo students!
While there are a number of prepared workshops to choose from, Jeff prefers to customize
his classes to fit the organization. Workshops can range from 1 hour to full day seminars or may be broken up to run over a
number of days. As an example, the street performing workshop is best run as a day long seminar, while the beginner magic and juggling for kids is a
program which runs 2 hours per session for 4 sessions.
