Vladik is the son of Moscow Circus and showroom entertainers Anatoli & Irina Miagkostoupov.
Arriving in the United States at the age of six, Vladik studied with his father and is now considered one of the world’s finest jugglers. Vladik was born on January 27, 1984 in Ukraine. His parents began touring internationally with him when he was only eight months old.
By the time he was six, his avid interest in juggling encouraged his father to begin training him in that field. He started his career in the United States at the age of eight, participating in small shows and conventions.
At nine he started performing professionally, he was invited to feature in “Passion” in Wendover, Nevada and went on to work “Magic 2010” at Trump’s Castle in Atlantic City. In 1995, the same year he received a gold medal at the Juniors International Juggling competition, he opened at the Flamingo Hilton
with the New York City Rockettes.
In the last years Vladik has performed with some of the most known shows. He has worked 6 years with Cirque Du Soleil “Dralion”, the famous Lido De Paris and the cabaret in Monte Carlo. Vladik’s act incorporates an unusual combination of juggling, acrobatics and contemporary dance. His act is now known to be one of the best juggling acts in the world.
