Meet the 'acro-juggling' couple who travel the world performing stunts with knives and fire

 The 'acro-jugglers' perform stunts such as juggling knives on fire while in unusual acrobatic positions
Bob and Trish Evans travel the world performing nail-biting acrobatic juggling stunts, where a single slip could mean the difference between a perfect show and an accidental knife wound. 
 Head over heels: Bob and Trish Evans travel the world performing nail-biting acrobatic juggling stunts, where a single slip could mean the difference between a perfect show and an accidental knife wound
Their unusual hobby has seen the pair explore far flung corners in Asia and the United States - and even set some world records in the process. 
 Before their travels their crazy talents saw them quit their jobs in 2011 and head out on a nine-month tour of every state in the US (minus Nevada by accident, they said). Here pictured in Michigan 
Performing jaw-dropping stunts in spectacular places, the touring 'acro-jugglers' secured four Guinness World Records for joggling, which is where you run while juggling 
 The duo are currently in love with Chiang Mai and have decided to eventually have a baby there 
Bob and Trish, who are from Wisconsin and Nebraska respectively, met in 2003 when they were studying at Michigan Tech University 
The pair dedicate an hour each day to perfecting their individual skills, and 20 minutes on top of that for their pair stunts. Here they are pictured in Hong Kong 
Next the pair are doing another five-month tour of the US, this time focusing on the midwest region
Trish had a bit of prior experience but Bob was a total novice to the sport, and has developed his skills over the last ten years 
When they met, the pair, who saved their first kiss until their wedding day, were fairly new to the acro-juggling world 
Their skills took them to South Korea, where they stayed for two years teaching English and they even ended up performing on TV
Americans Bob and Trish Evans tour the world with their nail-biting shows

They've performed in nearly every state in America and are now in Asia

They have Guinness World Records for joggling (running and juggling)
After their next tour they hope to continue travelling and performing or teaching in Southeast Asia
