I also thought it was supposed to be cement & thought it was a clever way of saying 'anyone who is not Anthony Gatto'.

I'm flattered you think I'm that clever...

While I know what you mean about tube cameras (just watch any tv drama with a flashlight in it)

I find it hard to believe that it was the camera technology preventing people booking jugglers. I mean, Paul Daniels booked jugglers regularly on UK to, in prime time Saturday night slots all through the 1980s.

I think it's more likely that those acts weren't being booked because juggling just isn't cool :)

I have watched some clips from the Paul Daniels show, and I have found that it proves my point. I haven't seen any light bulbs or low angle shots. If Koblikov performed on the Paul Daniels show, the following shots would not have been possible with the older production gear:

• 5b mills mess 1:50
• 7b cascade at 2:14
• 10b multiplex cascade finale

Do you have any clips of jugglers performing 7 balls on the Paul Daniels show?

Yes, these particular shots might have been impossible... but do you really believe that would stop tv producers from including jugglers? Doesn't this problem rise with any performance art? Isn't the issue even much worse outside of the tv studio, even though there are many many older videos recorded in circus tents such as at Monte Carlo?

Anyway, here is 7 ball juggling at Paul Daniels, though I'd admit it looks boring.

Here is Bob Bramson at Paul Daniels, he skips the 7 hoops but I assume that had to do with his age, not with the studio. His 5 hoops are as high as any 7b though, and the camera seems to move very freely

And besides Paul Daniels there are plenty of clips of jugglers too, here is Anthony performing 7 clubs in a studio

Not the same shots as Koblikov, but doesn't make the juggling look any worse...

Gregory Popovich does 7 balls on the tonight show, 2:28

And some more clips of "numbers jugglers" in tv studios I stumbled upon while looking up the above:

Thank you for this list of clips. I do find the Koblikov shot to be much more watchable than all of the other clips you posted.

Recording and distribution is a problem (and opportunity) for any performance art. Jugglers have seized this opportunity by posting videos for technical review, and by making juggling tutorials.

Filming in a tent would be easier. In a studio, the lights are set up to film a desk and a chair. In a tent, the setup can be dedicated to capturing juggling.
