Juggling in Movies
Casino (1995)
[Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods, Don Rickles]
Sam 'Ace' Rothstein, a mob-connected casino operator in Las Vegas, attempts a civilized lifestyle with his money-conditional wife, Ginger. Nicky Santoro, a boyhood friend of Ace and now a Made-Man of the Mafia, arrives in town with an ambitious agenda of his own that soon disrupts Ace's life. Before long, Ginger and her long-time leeching lover Lester, along with Nicky's mistakes, cause problems.
At 1:48:38, Robert De Niro
juggles three white balls
for about 15 catches, using many edits to make it look like he was
juggling for a while, though he is only shown making a few throws
in each edit. The scene ends with him chasing the balls around the
Las Vegas stage he is on.
Listed in the credits as a juggler is the excellent professional juggler
Gil Dova, who was likely only used to teach De Niro to juggle.
