Bill Berry has spent a lifetime mastering the impossible. A three-time world champion juggler, Guinness World Record-holding sword swallower, and award-winning variety entertainer, he has performed in over 80 countries, on seven cruise lines, and across 350 college campuses. From daredevil stunts and comedy variety shows to yoga instruction and thought-provoking storytelling, Bill’s life is a testament to relentless curiosity, personal transformation, and the pursuit of excellence.

 

As one-half of the legendary juggling duo Rootberry, Bill helped redefine the variety arts scene, earning multiple world championships and captivating audiences worldwide. His work with Distinguished Daredevils, alongside Noah Royak, pushed the limits of what a modern stunt show could be, blending humor, danger, and unparalleled skill.

 

But his journey didn’t stop with entertainment. A profound awakening on the yoga mat led Bill to explore the deep connection between mind and body, a realization that transformed both his personal practice and his teaching. Now a certified yoga instructor, he integrates his 10,000+ hours of extreme focus—from juggling, sword swallowing, and endurance-based performance—into workshops that challenge students to tap into their inner strength and self-mastery.

 

Writing has always been Bill’s quiet refuge. Decades of travel, risk-taking, and personal growth have filled his vault with stories—raw, humorous, and deeply human. His first book, “Stories That Move,” showcases these moments, offering allegorical nonfiction that resonates with readers in the same way his performances do: by inspiring, provoking thought, and leaving a lasting impact. BookLife praised his work for its “humane, harrowing stories of a life facing violence and danger,” highlighting his ability to translate life’s hardest lessons into universal wisdom.

 

Beyond the stage, the mat, and the page, Bill is a mentor, guide, and community builder. Whether coaching up-and-coming entertainers, leading men’s groups focused on personal growth, or turning his St. Pete Micro Farm into a beacon of sustainable living, he continues to challenge himself and others to grow in unexpected ways.

 

If there’s one thing Bill Berry’s journey proves, it’s that mastery isn’t about conquering a single craft—it’s about embracing the adventure, learning from every moment, and sharing those lessons in ways that move, inspire, and ignite curiosity in others.
