Juggling in Movies

Arabian Adventure (1979)

[Christopher Lee, Milo O'Shea, Oliver Tobias, Emma Samms, Puneet Sira]

An evil caliph (Christopher Lee) offers his daughter's hand in marriage to a prince if he can complete a perilous quest for a magical rose. Helped by a young boy and a magic carpet, Prince Hasan (Oliver Tobias), has to overcome genies, fire breathing monsters and treacherous swamps to reach his prize and claim the hand of the Princess Zuleira (Emma Samms).

As the film begins, near the end of the opening titles, we follow a hungry waif through the cruel streets of the Caliph's city.

At 04:09, and for the next 2 minutes, as he travels the streets, we see many people engaging in acts of ball juggling, knife juggling, diabolo, fire-breathing, and devil sticking.

At 37:17, and for just over a minute, there are a few glimpses of 3 ball and 3 club juggling in the background.

The entire movie may be seen here.
