Comedy juggling at the Martha Washington Library

"Fun with Jonathan Austin" was today's fun, family program at the Martha Washington branch of the Fairfax County Public Library. Austin performed comedy, juggling, and magic for a happy group of kids and their moms. The act started with juggling. The kids were immediately impressed with his ability to balance a club on his chin, merely a preview of events to come. He moved quickly from juggling to simple magic tricks and riding a six foot unicycle while keeping up a continuous, self-deprecating patter that kept the moms equally as engaged as their kids. Austin picked several kids from the audience to act as his assistants, thrilling them with the opportunity to shine on stage. The  act was well-suited to the audience, which ranged from two to nine year olds. Many thanks the Friends of the George Mason Regional Library for sponsoring the event.
