As challenging as mastering the skill...

For anyone who has a juggling act, it must be almost as challenging to come up with banter that stretches your routine into a full-fledged act as it is to juggle items without dropping them.  Otherwise, a juggler's act basically consists of him or her saying, "Look! I can juggle three oranges (or knives or chainsaws)," proving it, and then, the show's over.  Michael Davis, a juggler who appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in the early '80s, was adept at keeping the audience entertained, not only with his juggling but with the monologues he performed before, during, and after keeping various items in the air.  Juggling and bantering while juggling are peculiar skills to have, but the select few who master both aspects of the act can apparently have a successful career.
