Thanks for posting this.  I am pretty excited for them.  It was pretty special to have him at our place just a short time ago and to hear him making plans.

If wit and banter doesn't hurt them, try chubby or your dart tube.
Looks like a very fun time for all.

Mark I told your bff from jugglefest about the show. He said he will be there with his brother and your niece. Can they crash with you is all he needed to know? He will let you wear his fivefingers.  ;D

Here is a great review about Stunt Lab.  It sounds like they are doing well....

Nice review!  I am very glad that their show is well received.

But . . . no mention of tops? I'd bet Mark threw some. Perhaps the reviewer considers tops as a kind of yo-yo?

Yea!  My wife found this article about Mark Hayward on facebook.  In it he talks about spinning 26 tops at one time.  Go Mark!!!

They are back!!!  My wife just told me about something she received from facebook.  Just 86 shopping days left until Mark and Jonathan are back in action again in New York City!!!  I can't wait to hear some of the details.  What kind of top spinning will be in the show?  What new things await the audience?  What crazy and wacky things do they have up their sleeves?

I would love to drive over to see this.

That is great news. If the theater wants them back they must have done very well the first time.



Perhaps Mark can break his own record for most consecutive boomerangs to the face while on stage  ;D

December in NY? That should be perfect for entering the Major League Dreidel competition.  The 2012 contest has not yet been announced on their website, but it should be around middle of December.  I am sure Mark will want to show them that gentiles can also finger spin  ;)

WHAT A HOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was not able to see their show when it was in NY so I went to the Allen Theater in Annville PA today to see the Stunt Lab show.  Very, very funny.  Lots of skill too but SO FUNNY!! Mark set the world record for the longest walk the dog and Jonathon set the world record for the fastest time to pass through a toilet seat 3 times.  Did I say the show was really funny?  Yes, Mark did the mouse trap to eat a jet buffed marshmellow and they took it to a much larger ending.  Terrific venue and a good audience made for a fun day and the drive was only 3 hours each way.  If there is any chance that you are near this show do not miss it.
