I'm intrigued. So I had a look in "Learned pigs and fireproof women"
and he doesn't get a mention (the closest we get is a goose that
can count and do card tricks whilst blindfolded) If I had a copy of
"strange feats and clever turns" I'd have a look, but I've not gotten
round to buying a copy yet :-(
Those are the two books I'd most expect such an act to get a mention in.
I'm assuming you're interested in
http://www.collectorspost.com/Theatre/Photos_Signed/011542.html
though. (I notice they've also got a signed photo of Russ Abbot for
sale, which for some inexplicable reason I'm interested in)
Roger Montadon may be able to help you, I seem to remember him
having a large collection of archive material, and he has been known
to read rec.juggling. Alternatively, try emailing The Circus Space
(www.circusspace.co.uk) as they also have a reasonably large library
of archive material and may be able to help a little.
Good luck with the research, and if you find out any details, please
post back the results as I love this sort of stuff!

I have 'Strange Feats' and as far as I've seen, he's not in there, but he
sounds interesting at least...

I took the opportunity the other day to buy a copy of strange feats, and
I can't find him in there either. However, SF is lacking any sort of effective
index, it would be nice to be able to look performers up by name/act/style
etc.
If I get the time, I may write one. Initially for my own use, but I'd
happily make it available if others would find it handy. Unless of course
someone (Mr Holland perchance?) has allready written one that I could get
my hands on that is ;-)
