About Jonathan Austin
Heralded by many as “RVA’s most widely recognized and beloved artist,” juggler/magician Jonathan Austin has been spreading cheer and happiness throughout RVA for 35 years for first-grade classrooms, university auditoriums, corporate boardrooms, outdoor festivals, birthday celebrations, grand openings, and on and on. One of RVA’s hardest working artists, Jonathan’s annual schedule has included myriad ad hoc and volunteer performances as well as more than 250 paid engagements. He has performed at such venues as the White House, the Kennedy Center, and Disney World, but maintains his full-time performance home in RVA. All of his performances have the same purpose: to cause smiles, create happiness, and lift spirits!
