The Passing Zone

Since then, the Passing Zone has won 18 gold medals from the International Jugglers' Association (IJA) and holds five Guinness World Records.

[6] A mutual friend introduced Wee and Morse at a jugglers' convention in San Jose, California, and they spent the next year corresponding regularly.

The two met again at the IJA convention in Akron, Ohio, and decided to pair up in 1988[4] for the Teams Championships in Denver, Colorado, where they took the silver medal only "two weeks after their first performance together."

[10] They were hired as juggling stand-ins for Raúl Juliá and Christopher Lloyd in The Addams Family (1991), performing "in the climactic Mamushka dagger-passing scene.

"[11] In 2005, the pair took part in Penn Jillette's comedy documentary The Aristocrats,[12] and appeared as juggling chefs in an episode of Hell's Kitchen.

[1] They have performed to stress the value of teamwork for such diverse organizations as Boeing, Deloitte and Touche, Hewlett-Packard, Mattel and the United States Army.

[14] The Passing Zone made its first appearance during season 1 of America's Got Talent, as part of the Chicago auditions aired on July 5, 2006.

[15] Wee and Morse replicated "people juggling" for the semi-finals on August 2, 2006, winning over the audience and Hasselhoff ("I think I have just gotten out of 'I Hate Jugglers Anonymous'.

The act was put through to the Judges Cuts round,[18] where their knife-throwing routine ended with Mandel in a dunk tank and earned them a trip to the live shows.
