SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2007

In the autumn revue of the Starclub Varieté Kassel, Gentleman Juggler Jeton was not only active on stage but was also responsible for casting and directing the whole programme. It was reviewed by the press in the following words: “More wonderful than reality – for its eleventh anniversary, the Starclub proved once again with its new programme “Admission free … and other lies” that a variety show is able to create poetic alternative worlds. In this case, Jeton has succeeded: Congratulations, monsieur!” (HNA)

JUNE – AUGUST 2007 On August 23, Jeton will be seen by a specialist Swiss audience at the EMEX Trade Fair in Zürich (www.suisse-emex.ch). At the 15^th Jubilee of the festival “Les étoiles de la magie”, Gentleman Juggler Jeton appears in the closing gala. Other stars of the evening are Juan Majoral (Spain), Huang Zheng (China), Magic Wave (Netherlands) and Gaetan Bloom (France). In the encyclopaedia “Virtuosos of Juggling” Jeton is described as the last virtuoso of the classical “Gentleman Juggler” in the style of Kara, Salerno and Adanos. He is, so to speak, almost a “dinosaur” of his guild and therefore his appearance is highly appropriate for a company event in Frankfurt’s Senckenberg Museum (www.senckenberg.de). Shortly afterwards, he presents himself in completely modern manner at “Kaufleuten”, probably Zürich’s most “in” venue, for an event of UBS Bank. In addition to his act, Jeton visualizes the contents of a speech by a UBS bank director. With special crystal balls he choreographs a juggling act that symbolizes the specific contents of the speech while it is being delivered.

MAY 2007 In the second half of the month, Jeton will present his show in “Viva la Bodega” in Lyon/France.

APRIL 2007 “Surprize, Surprize” is the name of the best-known Rumanian TV show in which Gentleman Juggler Jeton appears live. The show has been presented for many years by the charming Andrea Marin.

From March 23 – April 4 the show “Hier geht ein Streifen ab…” can be seen at the “Konzertscheune Calden” which is presenting its annual Easter variety show with Gentleman Juggler Jeton.

MARCH 2007 The new product of a major German insurance company is being presented in 20 cities to the group’s sales staff. Jeton’s elegant act has been chosen, as his extraordinary balancing talent is ideally suited to visually portray the content of the new product.

FEBRUARY 2007 Gentlemen Juggler Jeton is a popular artist who people like to watch at festival occasions. He will therefore be appearing at the “Ball des Sports Niedersachsen” (the Sports Ball of Lower Saxony). Another swinging highlight is Tom Gaebbel and his Big Band. The presenters throughout the evening are the moderator of the “Aktuelles Sportstudio”, Wolf-Dieter Poschmann and Romy Hiller, moderator of “RTL Niedersachsen” (a TV channel in Lower Saxony).

As already in Palazzo Mannheim 2004, he will conduct the evening in his role as “gourmet critic of Guide Michelin” together with the artistic trio “Les Castors”. To appeal to your finer tastes, no less than André Jaeger will be there at your service. He is a master cook in a class of his own. With his highly inventive touch, he is a virtuoso of the art of creative cooking. Since 1995 André Jaeger has never held less than19/20 Gault Millau points.

Harald Wohlfahrt, head chef at the Black Forest inn "Taube Tonbach", who was awarded three stars by the Guide Michelin, is responsible for tickling palates during the three-and-a-half hour dinner show. Jeton is one of the visual highlights of the evening, and this is what the press says about him: "Silver top hats spin through the air; the guest in the check jacket involuntarily holds his hand over his glass to protect his exquisite red wine. No need to worry, though – Jeton knows what he's doing. With sublime elegance, the man in the smart suit balances the accessories of high society: cigar, walking-cane, billiard cue, mirror. Jeton is a juggler. His extraordinary variations on his chosen theme soon have the audience whooping with delight." Weser Kurier
