The self proclaimed “fastest juggler in the world”, Wally Eastwood, isn’t your run of the mill juggling extraordinaire! Born and raised by trapeze artists, Wally is a descendant of a five generation family of dedicated and skilled performers.
Wally was born in Alexandria, VA to Consuelo Padilla and Howard Eastwood on December 8th, 1964. Early in life and as a toddler Wally gained plenty of experience behind the ring of his parents circus acts and eventually ended up learning a variety of various skills to which he would continue to practice for years to come. Having the name to back him up as well, Padella was well known all throughout Mexico as “Ringling” was in America.
At the age of 7 Wally began to demonstrate his extraordinary ability to charm audiences, after long he ended up as a part of the act of famous Juggler Rejean St. Jules. Wally ended up breaking his arm while riding a unicycle for the performance, and from there he decided to set his sights solely on Juggling. Quickly Wally upgraded his act to using five clubs, while also learning to quickly juggle hats and even plates along with his clubs! By the age of 15 his skills had drastically improved, and through his own powerful showmanship managed to land his first solo juggling act with the Carson and Barnes Circus.
In 1980 Wally defied his fear of heights by training outside the realm of his technical juggling and learning the trapeze. For two years he quit juggling entirely and was a huge part of the Circus Tivoli in Toronto on the trampoline and trapeze. But after two years Wally began to again practice his juggling skills with the help of his new wife, he sought to increase his skills and land his own act. Always a fan of Las Vegas, Wally as a child saw Siegfried and Roy and other specialty acts and was forever inspired by the idea of being part of a huge, bright, loud and bombastic production on the Strip.
