Towson, MD---When one goes into a magic or variety show, sometimes he or she might feel the magician is no more than a one trick pony, but “One Man Show” Christopher Ruggiero was quick to dispel that notion in Paws Friday, Oct. 12.

He can juggle three balls, five clubs and three knives while standing up and can balance on a large exercise ball or on a six-foot unicycle.
