Patrik & Wes – Between Someonesons

July 8, 2013 By Steve Brown


Patrik Elmnert (Sweden) and Wes Peden (USA) are two young men with short hair and kneepads. In 2008 they started creating juggling together and went on to perform shows in Spain, Ireland, Finland, Norway, USA, Germany, Poland, England, Italy, and for the royal family of Sweden. Their juggling is scandinavian in aesthetic and playful in nature. With the use of space, bodies, time, and objects these two jugglers build a unique and vibrant atmosphere.

The new flamboyant juggling show from Patrik and Wes has jumps and slides that you’ll like and secret tricks that might turn you on. Throwing, lifting, and pushing each other combined with juggling objects flying around their bodies creates giant movements and bizarre twisted tricks. When confronted with the juxtaposition of a 14 club eruption and the single balance ring rolling lightly from forehead to forehead, the viewer can not help but think that perhaps giraffes are not as tall as they look.

CLYW – Sight Unseen (ft. Yeti)

July 8, 2013 By Steve Brown

Ernest Kahn and Palli dropped this video and it’s everything you’re hoping for; hyper creative and almost absurdly original tricks from two of the most fun and talented players on the CLYW team.

If this video is any indication of the quality of the upcoming Yeti yoyo from CLYW, we’re going to recommend that everyone buy at least three of them the day they’re released.

In The News – Zafran Aqil (Malaysia)

July 8, 2013 By Steve Brown

zafran aqil yoyo

Malaysian yoyo player Zafran Aqil got a nice write-up in The Star Online, a Malaysian newspaper. Article excerpt below!

Get personal with Zafran Aqil, one of Malaysia’s top yo-yo players.

THE yo-yo craze might already be dead, but someone clearly forgot to tell art student Zafran Aqil, 19. And it’s a good thing no one did either, because the guy is now one of the best yo-yo players in the country!

Zafran has been successful not just in local yo-yo competitions, but in overseas ones as well. He placed third in the Central Malaysian Yo-yo Contest 2012, and was once invited to the Philippines as a guest performer at a competition!

He’s now sponsored by Singaporean yo-yo brand Diamont Noir, as well as clothing label Menagé.

He specialises in the 1A category, where the player performs string tricks with a single “sleeping” yo-yo. A sleeping yo-yo is one that continues spinning even after it has reached the end of the string.

Zafran admits that he was one of those who got caught up in the trend as a kid. He bought his first yo-yo when he was 14, and it cost him RM40. Now he has over 15 yo-yos, collectively worth at least RM3,000!

World’s Largest YoYo For Sale

July 8, 2013 By Steve Brown

Beth Johnson World's Largest YoYo

The Guinness-certified World’s Largest YoYo is currently sitting in a barn in Richwood, Ohio…and it’s for sale.

Beth Johnson, builder of the 4,620 pound yoyo, decided to build the yoyo after undergoing surgery and chemotherapy for breast cancer in 2001.

The yoyo is 11 feet, nine inches in diameter and it took several years and failed attempts to get it to actually work. After three failed attempts in Jacksonville, Florida, the Johnsons towed the yoyo back to Ohio for one final attempt in Cincinnati. This last-ditch attempt proved successful, and Guinness officially recognized it as the largest working yoyo in the world.

No word on price for the giant yoyo, but supposedly Mrs. Johnson wants to tackle building the World’s Largest Skateboard next.
