YoYo Related News From Around The World
There are a lot of people doing weird stuff on YouTube (weirder than yoyoing, I mean), but this one is new to me: a guy who invites guests to retrieve their own belongings from his claw machine.
I feel like I’ve reached the end of the internet.
Watch and enjoy as 1995 Masters Division World YoYo Champion Mark Hayward attempts to retrieve his stuff from this dude’s claw machine.
Professional entertainer and yoyo demonstrator Mark Hayward has been working lately as a motivational speaker, encouraging people to learn from their mistakes and probably still shooting marshmallows at his face. Check out his TEDxLawrence talk about turning failure into success…nice job, Mark!
I performed in Pittsburgh a few months ago with Mark & Jonathan’s Fireside Chat, a live variety/talk show hosted by Mark Hayward and Jonathan Burns.
They just sent me a link to a video recap of the show, so check it out if you’ve ever wanted to see me wearing a tuxedo, taking off my pants, yoyoing in a tutu, and/or running my mouth about how I starting yoyoing.
Shameless self-promotion!

Former World Champion Juggler and YoYo Player Mark Hayward and the ridiculously talented and entirely too flexible Jonathan Burns are bringing their Stunt Lab show to the Strand Theater on March 16th. If you’re in the Pittsburgh area, it’s definitely worth checking out….Mark and Jonathan are seasoned performers who never fail to leave an audience entertained.
Mark and Jonathan have been flaunting their useless skills for years, and are at the top of the circus/variety arts field, but now they have decided to get seriously scientific about their latest undertaking; breaking a Guinness World Record. Using everyday objects, their quick wit, and years of training, this duo creates unique and unusual tricks and stunts that are sure to please thrill seekers of all ages.
Join this unlikely pair in their laboratory as they prepare themselves mentally and physically to be the best at useless skills no one else would or should attempt in pursuit of “The Greatest Stunt of All Time”.
A world record will be broken at the show… We hope.
Tickets are available online now at The Strand Theater website, www.thestrandtheater.org.
