Student juggles EMU routine,
plans for European travel
By TOM VISOKY
Ol the Emerald
Most afternoons Tim Miller
defies gravity. And campus
audiences can watch for free.
A disciple of the art of "free
juggling,” Miller performs in the
EMU basement near the Ride
Board.
“I'm free and easy," says the
tall, thin blonde. “I get most of
my tricks through improvisa
tion.”
Miller embellishes simple
juggling patterns with dips and
doodles. But he never loses
control of a routine, even while
discussing politics and religion
with passers-by who stop to
gawk and talk.
Recently Miller debated the
finer points of Christian
theology with two Christian
campus missionaries while
maintaining perfect concentra
tion on the airborne balls.
Miller wasn’t always an ac
complished juggler.“I’ve been
at it for seven long years," he
says.
He started juggling at age 12
out of a desire to learn someth
ing new and different.
"I was in England and I was
bored. So I got this crummy little
book and taught myself.”
Seven years after picking up
that book, Miller is ready to
capitalize on his juggling skills.
In fact, soon he may return to
Europe with his enlarged bag of
juggling tricks.
Miller works with partner
Dave Lichtenstein, who Miller
refers to wryly as "my clone.”
Currently, the pair are working
to master the new routines they
hope to take to the sidewalks
and cafes of Europe next fall.

Tim Miller juggles pins, balls and whatever else comes his way.
“We want to go everywhere,”
Miller says. "Amsterdam, Mun
ich, Basel, Paris, Barcelona,
Rome, you name it.” .
Miller’s voice bubbles when
he talks about his European
plans. He can hardly wait to
pack up his 20 balls, six clubs
and seven torches and hit the
road.
But he is a bit apprehensive
about the upcoming trip. He’s
been to Europe before, but felt
like he was on a long leash to
home much of the time.
“Every time I’ve gone to Eu
rope I’ve been on a tight budget,
and I don’t want to do it again.”

This time, Miller says he
hopes his juggling act will bring
in enough money for he and
Lichtenstein to live in style with
out having to call home for
funds.
He is uncertain about his
long-term professional future as
a juggler.
“If I can make good money
doing it, I’ll continue as long as
people pay me," he says.
Well-paid or not, Miller prac
tices every day to refine his act.
In addition to his daily sessions
in the EMU, he juggles at home
during study breaks and in
between scooping ice cream
and serving sandwiches at a
local ice cream parlor.
Miller welcomes others to join
his act in the EMU but laments
that he doesn’t always have en
ough balls for everyone.
But there’s room for people
who bring their own equipment
and want to practice with Miller.
“It’s Juggling 324,” he says.
“There is no instructor. Just be
free and freaky."
