And now 11-year-old Simeon Graham will enter the big top for its Black Country show.

The schoolboy from Great Barr impressed Gandeys Circus ringmaster Joel Hatton during its residency for Butlins at Minehead.

The youngster stunned the team when he juggled three clubs, before proceeding to juggle a whopping 10 balls for the performers.

Simeon, who attends Circus Mash in Birmingham, runs his own YouTube channel, with videos of him juggling for audiences across the UK.

The young performer has been invited to meet the cast of Gandeys Circus once more for an audition on October 30 to join the cast as a guest artiste at its upcoming Dudley show.

"Simeon is only 11 years-old and taught himself to juggle up to five balls, then we have had a teacher for a year to help correct posture and technique," said Simeon's mother Tracey.

"Simeon had taught himself juggling from the age of seven and has just qualified to do nine ball juggling.

"We are currently in the process of applying for a Guinness world record and he is trying juggling with 10 and 11 balls."

Gandey World Class producer Phillip Gandey, creator of The Chinese State Circus and Sky’s Cirque Du Celebrite, said: "To put this in perspective, this is usually possible after years and years of practicing, and to our whole team this is truly is remarkable.

"This young man is incredible and a very exciting new talent. If he was older we would sign him on the spot and send him across the globe in our productions.’’

Gandeys Circus comes to Dudley's Flood Street car park from October 25 to November 1.

The show, which will take place in their Big Top venue, will be supporting Birmingham Children's Hospital.
