About Anthony Gatto
 
  Born in Manhattan New York in 1973 Anthony Gatto was destine to forever change the face of the juggling world. Early in his childhood his family moved to Ellicott City, Maryland and it was there at the age of four that Anthony picked up his first ball to embark on a most incredible journey as a professional juggler. Coached by Nick Gatto an ex-vaudeville entertainer and member of the famous Los Gatos acrobatic trio, Anthony seemed to have a profound feel and understanding of object manipulation. At age 8 Anthony entered his first international juggling competition only to walk away with a gold medal. From there he made an appearance on the television show "That's Incredible". It was on this television show that he was noticed by a talent agent that would later bring him to Paris to compete at the Festival Mondial. Anthony was just nine years old. Again he came away victorious having won the gold medal competing against all types of circus artists. Anthony was offered numerous contracts from America to Australia and by age ten Anthony was playing the Flamingo Hilton on the famous Las Vegas strip. It was the only time such a prodigy had been a featured act in the glamorous shows of Las Vegas.     Anthony Gatto Child Phot

During these years Anthony made periodic appearances throughout Europe even performing at the Royal Command Performance for her Majesty the Queen Mother. In addition he competed in circus festivals in Italy, Belgium, and Mexico and earned the gold medal at all of those festivals. He performed steadily and practiced diligently while growing up. During his late teenage years Anthony broke every major juggling record that existed and continued breaking his own records consistently. Even to this day Anthony's records still hold strong .In the year 1998 Anthony performed in Branson Missouri where he met his wife Danielle who was then a professional dancer. They were married in 1999 and just six months later Danielle joined the act and added a new flair as Anthony's assistant.

One of the highlights of his career came in the year 2000 when Anthony competed in the Festival International Du Cirque De Monte Carlo. This is the absolute most important competition in the circus world and no juggler had ever taken a gold home. This pressure did not seem to faze this amazing juggler. Once again Anthony's ability would lead him to victory and he walked away with a gold.
