What about Vova Galchenko? (One of the other jugglers mentioned in the article - the one Anthony inadvertently got into a "competition" with). As far as putting on a show and performing with poise, Gatto easily wins. In at least s

This is the right approach. Just ask a simple question that shows you read the person's profile and ask them to expand on something you would like to know more about (and it should be something you are genuinely curious about). Also, s
