Steven Ragatz Backstage

"The art of Manipulation finds new meaning as jugglers Patrick McGuire and Steven Ragatz, clad in Magritte blue suits and bowler hats, toss and trade red balls amid wave-shaped metal forms in a deft display of dexterity."

- Shout magazine (New York)

Really, really, bald... This is some backstage stuff. Beware, this is pretty self indulgent, so from here on in, consider yourself warned...

Below you will find links to picture pages about various shows that I have done over the past two decades along with some comentary.

As time permits, I will fill out the construction pages. I build many of my own props, so if you are a juggler, you may find something useful here.

I am also including some images of the family and homestead.
