Haven't seen all these folks in the past year, but here's my list du jour:

Get the Shoe
Anthony Gatto
Viktor Kee
Sharp Brothers
Raspyni Brothers
Vladik Miagkostoupov
Gandini Juggling Project
Ivan Pecel
Sean Blue
And...I'll second Matt Henry. He's super entertaining and is a very talented juggler. (I used to juggle with him at Carmine St. in NYC. : )

If you asked me again tomorrow, the list might be entirely different.

I agree with the lists; I would add Wally Eastwood for shear entertainment.

Get the Shoe... Probably my favorite juggling act of all time. If you've not seen them visit: http://gettheshoe.de/flash/

Also Wes Peden ( http://www.wespeden.com ). I saw him at BJC last year. Awesome!!!!!

Isn't Vova Galchenko supposed to be the best? Just a non-juggling expert chiming in.

Vova has amazing skill. He's not as skilled as an entertainer. Whether he makes your top 10 or not depends on your view of what makes a juggler "good."

Thomas Dietz falls in that same category for me. He is an extremely talented juggler, but I haven't seen him put a routine together (yet) that earns him a spot on my list.

I completely respect that people have very different views about this. So...let me preemptively say, "THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!"

Amazing technique he has.

thanks for the link.

The only one I have seen live is Matt Henry. That was a few years ago but he was amazing.

Mark Nizer.

Somebody must have forgot to put Al Angello. I know because I've seen his video before.
