- Our next act to take the stage Is ready to try and make his dream a reality.
- My name is frank miles, I'm 50 years old, I'm from san francisco, california, And I am a juggler.
I started juggling when I was 15 years old Because I was terrified of people.
I knew that if I juggled, it gave me an excuse To stand up in front of people, And then maybe I would get over it.
I had spent so much of my life in fear, And now that I was free of it, I wanted to celebrate that And do the scariest, biggest things that I could think to do.
These are the same style of stun guns Used by the police and the military, To incapacitate people.
People die that way.
And I'm juggling three.
I was a guy who let his dreams drift away Because I was too afraid to reach for them.
If I make it now, Then I'm there to tell people That if you don't get in your own way, Then your dreams are yours for the having.
[cheers and applause.]
