Yoyo (1965)

[Pierre Étaix, Claudine Auger, Philippe Dionnet, Luce Klein]

France. This story begins in 1925. A wealthy man can have anything he wants as witnessed by what he asks his multitude of servants to do for and with him. But he's not totally satisfied in his life as he longs for the only woman he's ever loved, a woman named Elle, her whereabouts of which he has no idea. One day, he notices a traveling circus passing by. As a man who loves to be entertained, he follows the circus and finds Elle among its troupe, and the son he never knew he had. After the 1929 stock market crash, the man loses his vast fortune, and thus is free to join the circus with Elle. He dotes upon his son, who they nickname Yo-Yo, as the yo-yo is perhaps the man's favorite toy. Under his father's tutelage, Yo-Yo grows up to be an accomplished circus clown and magician. As Yo-Yo grows into adulthood, he longs to restore his father's mansion to its former glory. Though World War 2 and the advent of television changes the entertainment landscape, can he accomplish such working as a circus clown?

At 0:18:48, in an outdoor scene at the circus, Kach Maht practices juggling 4 rings, with the juggling being seen for 2 seconds.

At 0:51:58, Kach Maht juggles 3 clubs, which are soon stolen by another juggler, all for 7 seconds.

At 0:56:12, a man seated on a train juggles 3 balls for 40 seconds with a few simple tricks, and then a minute later he is seen juggling again for 5 seconds.

At 1:09:15, Kach Maht juggles 3 clubs in a hotel room for 3 seconds.
