NAME: Anton Reichel RESIDENCE: Playa del Pacífico HIS STORY: Anton moved to Pacific Beach about five years ago. He was studying at a culinary school when he met a friend named John. John introduced Anton to juggling and circus performing, and before long, Anton was hooked. Anton has been studying, practicing and performing juggling and circus tricks in San Diego for almost two years. He is inspired by the challenge of continuing to improve. Anton can often be seen along the boardwalk or in a few other spots around Pacific Beach working to improve his skills. “I’m just trying to enjoy life, and juggling definitely makes me enjoy life — working at it out there. I’m glad I can also make it my lifestyle and my job too. It’s just so awesome. It’s cool because you can be right in front of people and get their feedback. You’re not sure how people are going to react and some people react badly, but it’s all good. I like when people react for sure, good or bad. I get more satisfaction out of learning a trick and doing it right but people motivate me all of the time.
