"Steven Ragatz... bring(s) polish and panache to the kind of idiosyncratic balancing act you might encounter on a city street."

- Peter Marks, The New York Times

The Surreal

It is called show business.

When this gentleman enters the stage, there is little question that he means business. This eight minute act explores the surreal. Balls, briefcases, umbrellas and hats are tossed and balanced in eccentric and varied ways.

The Classic

This dynamic routine utilizes a wide variety of props that seem to have a life of their own as they dance in the air. With a fire juggling finale that is guaranteed to captivate any audience, this act is seven and a half minutes that won't soon be forgotten!

Note: In response to the recent tragedy in Rhode Island, I will only consider including fire juggling/manipulation into the act under the strictest of controlled environments. No mater how careful one is, fire is dangerous, and poses obvious risks.

These fantasy creations wander the crowd, prompting stares and gasps of surprise. Some walk on two legs, while others walk on four. Expect something unexpected!

Note: Roving stilt characters are appropriate for open areas or areas with high ceilings.
