Cirque du Soleil’s yo-yo master shows off

Things that most people can do with a yo-yo: flick it towards the ground and watch it not come back up.

Some of the things Tomonari “Black” Ishiguro can do with a yo-yo:

• Create pentagrams.
• Twirl it in every direction imaginable without breaking radio equipment.
• Let it “sleep” for up to half-an-hour.
• Manage to make yo-yo interesting for Cirque du Soleil audiences.

Ishiguro is a four-time world yo-yo champion and an unlikely highlight in the latest Cirque touring production Kurios. He stopped by the Eyeopener studio to show off.
