Robert Nelson "The Butterfly Man" the king of the street performers died today of throat cancer at his home in Hawaii. He is not especially famous among magicians, but he is a legendary comic juggler who has been all over the world many times. If I knew how to post a picture on this forum I would post one of him. He was the first professional juggler I ever met back at the Akron IJA jugglers convention in 1987.

Thanks Marlin his picture needed to be posted, and I only had the computer skill to post a video of the man at work.
On my previous post I wanted to say "for those of you who HAVE never seen Robert"
