American juggler and unicyclist (1957–2023) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Mills (1957 – June 3, 2023)[1] was an American juggler and unicyclist from Morristown, New Jersey. He was the inventor of the "Mills' Mess" juggling pattern.[2][3] Mills was taught to juggle by Ron Graham, a juggler and mathematician.[4]
In 1978, Mills married Carol Sue Haines.[5] They began performing a juggling and unicycle act,[6] later accompanied by their children Michelle and Anthony. Together the group became known as The Dazzling Mills Family.
They had performed at venues such as Harlem Globetrotters basketball games,[7] the Arnold Fitness Expo, fairs,[8] and schools.[9] Television appearances included PM Magazine, The Statler Brothers Show, The Penn and Teller Show, Daily Planet, Most Daring, Smoking Gun Presents, and The Shotgun Red Variety Show.[10]
Carol stopped performing in 2004 because of a nerve disorder.[5] Kris Groth, who married Michelle in 2009,[11] joined the group in 2008.[12] In 2011, a baby girl, Chloe, was born to Kris and Michelle.[13] In 2014, the group's web site stopped advertising for the group and was moved to advertising Steve as a solo act.[14] The web site subsequently went dark in late 2017.[15]
Mills was a winner of the International Jugglers' Association Championships in 1975, 1976 and 1978.[16]
