Overview
Get the Ball Rolling with a Variety Show Like No Other!
With something for everyone, this show has a variety of stunts that range from death-defying to ridiculously funny.
The show gets rolling inside a human-sized hamster ball - how's that for thinking outside the box? Add to that international award-winning juggling, astounding acrobatic feats, and high-flying aerial fabric stunts performed over 25 feet in the air and you’ve got a show beyond compare. This performance will be remembered long after the event.

Laura went ABOVE and BEYOND for our church event. She interacted well with the kids, met all of my expectations, balloon twisting skills were top notch and super speedy but took time to listen to each request for a LONGGG line of children who kept coming back for more!
If you need someone with a passion for their work to help you for your event --- Book Laura!

About

Then on the fifth season of America's Got Talent Laura performed inside her human-sized hamster ball, a prop that was so impressive that it made Howie Mandel exclaim, “I love you! You are my soul mate.”
Never settling for average, Laura has invented props and brought new life to old favorites. She has performed all over the world - at theaters, amusements parks, conventions, schools, television, corporate events and festivals. She now resides in Des Moines, Iowa with her wonderful husband Ryan and her two daughters.

We were extremely pleased with Laura. She was on time, very professional, pleasant and most of all...entertaining. The guests enjoyed her!!! I strongly recommend her for events.

Our party was fairly eclectic - a voodoo-themed fundraiser for Haiti. Not only did Laura deal with the strangeness, but her face painting was the highlight of the event!
