Looks like Hans Van Dan Elzen is going to be promoting hard at London Toy Fair this year…check out the press release below from their UK distributor. Sounds like fun! London Toy Fair isn’t open to the public, unfortunately, but we’ll post an update once we find out what record he’s going for and if he hit it or not.
Wilton Bradley is to host a world record attempt with professional YoYoer, Hans “YoHans” Van Dan Elzen at their stand at this year’s London Toy Fair, the firm has announced.
YoHans was a driving force behind the massive yo-yo craze twenty years ago with numerous TV appearances and live tours. In 2003, Hans launched YoYoFactory (distributed by Wilton Bradley), a yo-yo brand with a focus on creating unique patented technology that would make playing with a yo-yo a more enjoyable experience for beginners and world champions alike.
Hans will be attempting an official Guinness World Record Challenge at the Wilton Bradley stand (E89) at 11.00am on the first day of London Toy Fair 2018. He will also be joined on the stand by the YoYoFactory team including World & US National Champion Gentry Stein as well as superstar Ann Connelly, who will be on hand to demonstrate the range and challenge you to perform tricks and give out prizes.
Wilton Bradley’s YoYo range is selling well, boosted by the fidget spinner trend and a mention from TV and radio personality Chris Evans.
Come along and see if you can remember how to ‘walk the dog’ at Wilton Bradley’s stand: Stand E89, January 23rd at 11.00 a.m. and throughout London Toy Fair 2018.
