Juggling in Movies

Crossed Swords (1977)

[Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch, Mark Lester, Ernest Borgnine]

Original title: The Prince and the Pauper. Tom Canty is a poor English boy who bears a remarkable resemblance to Edward, Prince of Wales and son of King Henry VIII. The two boys meet and decide to play a joke on the court by dressing in each other's clothes, but the plan goes awry when they are separated and each must live the other's life.

Early in the film, there is a street fair with someone juggling three clubs who appears three times. The first two are very brief and he is far in the background though clearly seen. The third is much longer and closer.

At 04:16, he juggles 3 clubs for 4 seconds and makes a high throw.
At 05:34, he juggles 3 clubs for 5 seconds and does some double spins.
At 06:01, he juggles 3 clubs for 30 seconds and does several tricks.
