Raspyni Brothers    

Guinness Record-Holding Juggling Team

Barry Friedman and Dan Holzman are the Raspyni Brothers. As one of the most sought after acts on the corporate entertainment scene, they appear annually at over 100 events across America and internationally.

Everyday objects come to life in the Raspyni Brothers hands. Golf clubs balance in impossible configurations and cabbages collide midair with flying blow darts while blazing torches, 16-pound bowling balls and razor-sharp garden weasels fly effortlessly overhead. Using audience participation, hilarious improvisation, and great comic dialogue, the Raspyni Brothers know how to win over an audience.

Since 1982 their intelligent mayhem has earned the Raspyni Brothers two International Juggling Championships, multiple appearances on "The Tonight Show" starring Jay Leno, and a place in the Guiness Book of World Records. In addition to the tremendous success they enjoy in the field of corporate entertainment, these unrelated siblings also tour as an opening act for dozens of superstars such as Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Howie Mandel, Dennis Miller and Tom Jones. Other audiences have ranged from the King of Spain and the Academy Awards to the sequestered O.J. Simpson jury.

Speech Topics


The VolcanoBall

It's easy to master the basic tricks while building self-esteem and relieving stress. This original toy has none of the preconceptions associated with juggling and can be used in small spaces. Business tools such as juggling priorities, cultivating relaxed concentration, and creative problem solving skills are perfectly demonstrated during a VolcanoBall workshop.

A body in motion is a mind in motion. A recent study showed that activities like VolcanoBall actually increase gray matter - something modern science believed impossible.
