Known for his inventive approach within the juggling community, Jack has claimed several gold medals and set world records. In 2006, he co-created the Extreme Juggling Competition to showcase the creativity and thrill of juggling. Recently, Jack developed an augmented reality light show, blending juggling with multimedia effects, adding a modern twist to his repertoire. He continues to perform alongside his wife, Jeri Kalvan, a talented juggler and acrobat. They reside in Los Angeles.

Jeri Kalvan's journey in acrobatics and stunts started in her early years, which paved the way for her to explore diverse skills such as skydiving and cliff jumping. Holding a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, Jeri spent a decade teaching movement and circus skills to elementary school children before transitioning into the entertainment industry as a performer and circus trainer. Her film and TV credits are extensive, including stints as a stunt double for Kirsten Dunst in "Spider-man 1&2," and performing stunts on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "The Bold and the Beautiful." Jeri's career has not only encompassed stunt work but also roles as a stunt coordinator and aerialist, working in the U.S. and Australia. Today, she performs extensively with her husband, Jack, showcasing a dynamic variety show that features acts like knife juggling, acro-juggling, and the world's only Synchronized Flowerpot Drill Team. The duo's family-oriented shows often involve their sons, Max and Oz, and are known for integrating humor and danger, with acts like fire juggling and stunts on a flaming teeterboard. Jeri resides in Van Nuys, CA with her family, continuing to inspire audiences with her daring performances and innovative circus skills.
