What Is Chainsaw Juggling?
Chainsaw juggling is an extreme circus skill where a performer juggles real chainsaws using precise timing, balance, and years of technical training. Unlike ordinary juggling, every throw must be controlled perfectly, because the danger is real and the margin for error is tiny.
The act combines danger, comedy, spectacle, and world-class object manipulation. It has appeared at festivals, theatres, corporate events, television shows, and Guinness World Record attempts around the world.
Ian Stewart is one of the most accomplished chainsaw jugglers in the world, holding the Guinness World Record for chainsaw juggling with 105 throws and catches. His chainsaw juggling has been seen by live audiences worldwide and featured on major television programs.
