The last two acts of Arty Dodger’s vaudeville-type floor show had the audience at the annual “Fifteen Under 40” awards banquet holding their collective breaths. Picture a man balanced on the tops of three wine bottles successfully juggling three long metal knives. Dodger, of nearby Athens, LA, has spent 30 years developing his show, which features his wife as his trusted assistant. He calls himself the “Southern Gentleman Juggler” in a show that features comedy (did he drop that on purpose?), juggling, and balance tricks. (Photo by Marilyn Miller)
