My Life by James Bustar
People say they love to travel — but try doing it while hauling a pogo stick and explaining juggling knives to airport security. It’s like a stand-up routine before I’ve even reached the stage.
While most travellers juggle boarding passes and kids, I am juggling actual knives. With 50kg of bizarre props, a pogo stick and a suitcase full of gear that leaves customs scratching their heads.
What most people don’t see is the exhausting, exhilarating world behind the curtain. My days are often a blur of early flights, customs checks and stage lights — all while keeping up the energy to try to bring the house down every night.
