Kit first took up juggling because of his love of things different and unusual. Learning to juggle in 1975, at the age of 15, Kit knew early this is what he wanted to do for his life's work. After winning first place on "The Gong Show" at the young age of 16, one of the next things Kit did was he taught juggling and performing at Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College at the young age of 18.

Kit went on to perform around the world and achieved the position of "featured performer" at Ballys Park Place Casino in Atlantic City. Performing at Ballys , he was doing 2 shows a night, 6 days a week, about 15 minutes a show. So, Kit was working about 30 minutes a day, doing something he loved, and paid very well for it!  

At this point, Kit's juggling was at a high level and he was trying to master juggling 7 clubs, a world record at the time. This would be the same as the first person to run a four minute mile, or pole-vaulting 20 feet. Kit didn't work on 7 clubs for publicity or fame, but as a personal challenge to see how far he could take his juggling. He got a run of 30 throws with 7 clubs and knew that he could improve on this trick. The juggling of 7 clubs was witnessed by a number of people.

While on the way to the show at Ballys one rainy night, while crossing a busy street, a truck was approaching. "There is no time to get out of the way!" Kit was thrown onto the hood of the truck, broke the windshield with his head, rolled off to the side and tore off the side mirror with his body, then he laid in a crumpled heap 30 feet away from the truck. Kit went into a coma and slept for 37 days.
