There are at least 16 juggling scenes in this movie, most brief and in the background. 12 of these appear in the first 20 minutes. Tom Gaskin appears in 2 of these, juggling 3 cigar boxes in one, and walking a rolling globe and spinning 4 rings on his arms in the other. All of the remaining juggling scenes feature the Ethiopian brothers Mehari "Bibi" Tesfamariam and Binyam "Bichu" Tesfamariam. They are seen juggling 3 or 4 clubs each, or passing 7 clubs, in most of their appearances, but in one they are juggling red and white balls while dressed as clowns.

At 0:01:52, for 30 seconds there are 3 juggling scenes superimposed in the background. First, the Tesfamariam brothers juggle 5 clubs together side-by-side for 8 seconds. Next, Tom Gaskin manipulates 3 cigar boxes for 5 seconds, and then one of the Tesfamariams juggles 3 short knives for 5 seconds.
