Raspyni Brothers

Keynote Speaker: Guinness Record-Holding Juggling Team & Corporate Entertainers

Raspyni Brothers Biography

Barry Friedman and Dan Holzman are the Raspyni Brothers. Known for their unique blend of humor, juggling, and entertainment, they are prominent figures on the corporate entertainment scene, performing at over 1000 events for major companies such as IBM, General Electric, and Apple. They appear frequently across America and internationally, engaging audiences at over 100 events annually.

In their performances, everyday objects such as golf clubs and garden weasels become part of an intricate act where balance and timing meet comedy and audience interaction. Their dynamic performances include cabbages colliding midair with flying blow darts while blazing torches, 16-pound bowling balls, and razor-sharp garden weasels fly effortlessly overhead. Their act also incorporates hilarious improvisation and engaging comic dialogue, making every event memorable. Additionally, they offer interactive workshops on Total Team-Building and Juggling the Principles of Success, and serve as Masters of Ceremony.

Since 1982, the Raspyni Brothers' intelligent mayhem has earned them two International Juggling Championships, a place in the Guinness Book of World Records, and multiple television appearances, including on "The Tonight Show" with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. They have also had the honor of performing at notable events such as a Presidential Command Performance at the White House, a Showtime Television Special, and the Academy Awards. Besides their success in corporate entertainment, they have toured as an opening act for celebrities like Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, and Tom Jones, performing for diverse audiences ranging from the King of Spain to the Academy Awards.

Raspyni Brothers Speaking 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.

Head Line Entertainment: Everyday objects come to life in their talented 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 pack their time on stage with a dynamic mix of skill and style. Performing together since 1982, these two catchers in the wry never fail to win over even the most demanding, hard-to-please crowds.

Success, Teamwork & Risking Taking Keynotes

Johnny Carson and Jay Leno have both done it on The Tonight Show - and now your CEO can do it too! Let the top-brass prove their commitment to success by standing between the blazing torches and razor sharp knives of the Raspyni Brothers.
