I have been involved with the circus and variety arts my entire life, making a living as a performer since 1968.
Comedy Magic, Juggling, Plate-Spinning, Announcer for circuses, stage shows, television, etc. are my specialties. I also used to present a Roly-Boly Act until my legs and my back protested too strongly against it :-)
My wife, Marites, is Filipina by birth but is a naturalized - and very proud - American citizen.
Our daughter, Mabelle, is a graduate of the Institute for American Musical Theatre in New York City and currently lives in Philadelphia. She presents a world-class Hula Hoop act as "Miss Mabelle, The Texas Tornado!"
I authored a biography or circus and variety personality Arthur Duchek: "Born on the Highwire: The Autobiography of Arthur Duchek as told to Pat Davison". The book is available on Amazon Kindle.
