[QUOTE="tcudoc, post: 2731112, member: 44"] He tried out a few years back. A few other even better jugglers have as well. The truth is juggling comes with drops. It is a fact of life for even the best of the best. The judges and the audience for that show demand perfection in the later rounds. That simply can’t happen with juggling. So, people don’t make it very far. Additionally, having non jugglers judge jugglers is a challenge. They will upvote gimmicky stuff ahead of truly difficult stuff every time. For example the juggling three items and taking a bite out of an apple or bounce juggling in a preprogrammed piano key floor mat. Or even the chainsaw bit. But if you get a true juggler that can do a run of 40 catches of nine or ten balls, they will land that trick 5% of the time, but it is tremendously difficult. The audience wouldn’t tolerate the several failed attempts nor appreciate the true difficulty of the trick. It just isn’t flashy enough for television. So, you will likely never see a juggler get too deep into AGT for those reasons. [/QUOTE]
