It is a sad day for jugglers everywhere. Robert Nelson the Butterfly man has been admitted to a hospice in Hawaii. Robert has had throat cancer for some time. He is in no pain, and resting peacefully. Here is a video of him at the Universal City buskers festival in 1992. Please keep Robert in your prayers.

Thanks for letting us know.
Prayers and thoughts for him and his family. I believe I first saw him on the Pier in San Francisco. As I recall in order to keep from going back to his day job, he got the tattoo. Be safe, well and creative. Harris

Robert was a chemical engineer before he attended his first juggling convention and after that convention he never went back to engineering again.
