New for 2005! Rollicking Richard showcased his spectacular fire yo-yo at London's Snowfest to tremendous applause and gasps of delight!
Originally from Southeast London, England, Rollicking Richard brings a mix of pro yo-yoing, unicycling, magic tricks, juggling and comedy. Richard's show is more than that of your average yo-yoer - his exciting glo-yos and infamous fire yo-yo wows audiences far and wide. His dexterity, professionalism, and smart jokes delivered in a Cockney accent will catch everyone's attention. Not only does he charm his audiences with his infectious enthusiasm, he has an excellent manner with children, taking time to listen to their questions and give them a considered, meaningful reply. Richard's philosophy impresses upon people that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and are willing to keep trying until you achieve your goals
