The Flying Karamazov Brothers are a juggling and comedy troupe who have been performing since 1973. The "brothers" took their act's name from the Fyodor Dostoevsky novel The Brothers Karamazov, drawing parallels between themselves and the novel's characters. Though they refer to themselves onstage as "brothers", none are actually blood relatives. The current troupe is led by its sole remaining co-founder, Paul David Magid (Dmitri), who is also its Director and Producer.
