John Ray
The Eagle

John Ray has had many occupations in his short lifetime, but none so thrilling as his current one.  "I have always wanted to to be a street performer, and I have always loved to juggle," says Ray.  "It has been my passion ever since I was a small boy growing up in Ireland."  Ray was born in a small fishing village on the northern coast of Ireland, and as a child made money for his family by juggling in the nearby town of Belsonfastgard.  He learned the skill from his great-great uncle Patrick, who was one of the 5 Great Masters of the WWII era, thrilling tourists and connoisseurs alike all over Ireland and redefining the art form for future generations.  Ray feels he has some big shoes to fill; "Everywhere I go, I hears stories and legends of my great uncle and his friends, and the best compliments that I get are from their old followers who have said that I honor my late uncle with my talents." Ray continues, "To me there is no greater honor than pursuing one's dream, and changing the world at the same time."
