Excellent! I'm sure that Mark's quiet self-confidence has had a lot to do with his career success.

I really enjoyed the video, Job Well Done!!!!  It has been a while since I have seen Mark he's always a great person.  I hope that Covid is finally slowing down and we can get back to a normal spin top life.  It would be nice to have a year where we could have a World Contest, Nationals and Miamisburg and everybody could attend without fear of Covid.  I have my fingers crossed.

I really like this guy.  Well-spoken, incredibly talented, and a joy to watch.

He has some pretty recently-published content on his YouTube channel.  He has some videos demonstrating entry-level spin top tricks.

I couldn't watch it.....some kind of error from that page! (I see Mark for a second, then gone....)

I am sure it is awesome though, I have seen Mark a lot, and he always has great stuff!
