So here's the Angel Egea story. Angel's grandfather and parents were jugglers, but he was raised by another relative and didn't juggle. At the age of 18, he went to visit his grandfather, Bernardo Egea, who showed him his props and photos and such. He told him about ball and mouth stick work and about bouncing two balls on his head. Angel told him that he would try bouncing two balls on a mouth stick. His grandfather said that if Angel did that, it would make him the happiest man on earth. Keep in mind that Angel couldn't even do a three ball cascade, let alone anything else. Nevertheless, he promised his grandfather that he would learn it and eventually did. He told me recently that he had taken it out of his act. When I asked him why, he said that his grandfather is now dead and the trick hurt like crazy!
