What to expect

The audience leaves with seeing tricks they didn't know where possible, more styles of yoyoing than they knew existed and an amazing story to tell their friends. Get a one-of-a-kind show with audience interaction, my personal story in yoyoing, a brief history of the yo-yo, and a world-class yo-yo performance!

I provide packages that include new yo-yos as party favors so after the show the audience can learn the basics of how to set up their string and yo-yo to make sure everyone gets yoyoing!
