Eric’s objective is to provide a one-of-a-kind breathtaking performance of object manipulation choreographed to music... to bring once stagnant objects to life as art in motion. An artist of over 20 skills Eric is a world-ranked yoyo player, a juggler of knives, a fire-eater, a stilt-walker and much more, I promise a unique show every time. As a role model Eric stresses the importance of following one's passions in life.

Performances Include:

Stage Performance: skills are choreographed to music and can include talking and interaction with the audience. Eric can provide his own sound system, or use yours. (2 min. - 1hr.)

  • Motivational Assembly/Show: skill show based around general motivation, following your passions in life, importance of practice and study (also can touch on related history and science) ... great for elementary and middle schools, scout troups, etc. (15 min. - 1 hour)
  • Workshop/Classes/Private Lessons: most commonly yoyo workshop after a show ... although any of the skills displayed can be taught.
  • Fire Show: amazing, exciting, great and warming time to be had by all...can also be done as walk-around. (5-30 min.)

“Eric has entertained at the Cubscout Day Camps I've run for the past six years. I've had Cubscouts ask each year, 'What day is the Yo Yo Guy coming?' The scouts and the leaders look forward to his performances. He has quite a following! Eric sends a positive message to the kids about practicing, doing your best, and it's ok to make a mistake - sometimes he's learned new trick from them.”
