Juggler Matt Jergens has been making audiences laugh for over sixteen years. Whether he’s performing on five-star cruise lines or in theaters across the country, he has enjoyed tremendous success with his amazing variety show.
His show involves electrifying routines that showcase the talents of one the top jugglers around. He fills the stage with razor sharp knives, 16-pound bowling balls and a multitude of other unique props. He doesn’t forget the most important part of the show either, the audience. There are many opportunities for volunteers to come up and help with a trick or stunt and, as always, they come out looking like heroes.
During a recent two-year tour, Matt performed for such places as Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut, Universal Studios in Florida, and on the high seas with Holland America Cruise Line.
So, see for yourself why Holland America boasts,
"You won’t believe your eyes… this is one of the top variety acts out there!"

About Mike Hemmelgarn, Magician, Comedian, and Ventriloquist
Mike has been fascinated with the art of ventriloquism since the age of eight and juggling since the age of sixteen. He went door-to-door selling newspaper subscriptions to earn enough money to purchase his first “dummy”, a hard wood puppet named “Bob”.
Bob is now in retirement and Mike uses mostly sculpted foam and latex puppets. He first learned to juggle with tennis balls and has evolved to bowling balls, knives, machetes, torches and other ridiculous things! Finally, magic and balloon sculpting were incorporated to compliment one of the most unique acts in the business.
Since graduating from Wright-State University in Dayton, OH. Mike has performed at thousands of Corporate Events, Schools, Libraries, Fairs & Festivals, and Theatres.
