George DeMott (1907-1986) was a professional juggler, magician, and clown throughout the U.S. and Canada for 45 years, touring with circuses, in vaudeville, and for school assembly bureaus. He was the author of a book on specialty juggling technique entitled Want to Be a Juggler?, published in 1962.
