Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Albert Lucas (juggler)" in English language version.
I named this trick after Albert Lucas, who was the first person that I saw doing the trick, even though others, such as Fudi, Ron Hennon, and Rudy Horn, did it earlier.
The finishing routine is three torches, culminating with continuous throws of the torches through his legs from front to back. I mentioned to him that these between-the-leg tosses have become known to many jugglers as "Albert throws" and asked him what he called them. He was flattered (noting he certainly wasn't the first person to perform the trick), and said he had no name for the move although he used to call them "a pain in the neck!"
Tom Breen pens, '...Wonder if some one would write a description of Morris Cronin's Act... Cronin was first man to Juggle three clubs and shoot club through legs while both feet are on the floor. He was also the first to throw a club back thru legs and catch it while juggling three.'
Morris Cronin, who was formerly acknowledged to be the best single club juggler in every way, is getting away from that kind of work...
