records as of 15 May 1995
Viktor Filipovich and Anatoly Myakhostupov performed 10 clubs from about '81 to '92 with Russian circuses. They stood about 25 feet apart at the finale, going from separate 5 club patterns directly into passing 10. Then one would collect all 10, and usually drop so we could see them pass 10 again (many references). Handmade clubs. The Afanassievs troupe from the former Soviet Union performed 10 club passing by two members. (_Juggler's World_ 38.4, Win. '86-'87, p.9, or _Kaskade_ 28, 12/92, p.13. They are pictured doing so on a rotating arm in "Juggling: the Art and Its Artists" (p.248). J. Akifjew, M. Tschernow, G. Gratschew (The Gratschewi Trio) were the first to pass 10 clubs between two people. They graduated from the National School for Circus and Estrade [stage] Arts in 1951 ("4000 Years", Vol. II, p.161, and "Juggling: the Art and Its Artists", p. 352, which calls their alma mater the Moscow Circus School.)
