Since winning first place in the International Juggling Championships, Mark Nizer has been making the impossible possible. Whether juggling four brilliant lasers at 1,000 revolutions per minute, throwing five ping pong balls 20 feet in the air using only his mouth or even juggling a burning propane tank with a running electric carving knife and a 16-pound bowling ball, Mark Nizer’s talent is outstanding! It was Nizer’s own mother who enrolled him in a juggling class at age 13, starting a journey that has enabled him to thrill audiences for more than 20 years.
Nizer has taken his one-man show to venues around the world including The Improv, The Comedy Store, Walt Disney World, the Kennedy Center, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Recently, Mark performed in Zimbabwe and with a performing arts tour of Hong Kong. Mark’s Juggling Across the Curriculum program (for ages eight to 80) explores the artistic components of juggling and the fine arts.
He has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, George Burns, John Byner, Gladys Knight, The Temptations, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, and Barry Manilow. As stated by Entertainment Magazine, "Without a doubt the hottest juggler on the entertainment market, Mark Nizer is simply incredible."
