Growing up, Anton Stephenson had a knack for flips and tricks.

"My parents got me a juggling kit when I was probably 8, 7 years old," the Fishers, Indiana, native said. "And I fell in love with it. It was pretty cool, I thought, and I wanted to show off to my friends."

"My parents thought it would be funny — they always called me a clown, because I could flip and juggle, and all I needed was a unicycle," Stephenson said. "So they bought me one."

Yes, Stephenson always has been a showman.
