Egyptian Revival – The Return of the 6 Foot Balloon

On: December 3, 2017

During my Egypt trip, they asked if I could do something different during my show. This being my 6th trip in 2 years meant they had seen all my stuff. Now we needed something new…It was time for the revival of the 6 foot balloon! The what? Years back, and I mean like 20, I was the 2nd (or 3rd) person in the USA to learn how to perform with a giant 6 foot balloon. The basic premise was to climb inside it and then back out. It was an odd thing that no one had really seen before. Outside of a cheesy used carRead More →

Egyptian Underwater Jump Rope Show

On: December 1, 2017

What a whirlwind it has been traveling around the world for the past 2 months! Yesterday included 30 hours of travel back to my camper from Italy. I had shows in Mexico City, Egypt and Italy since I left back in October. I will talk about my Italian adventures in a different post, but today I want to focus on a strange request for me to do some underwater jump rope during my show in Egypt. October was my 6th trip to perform in Egypt in the last 2 years. I’ve had a lot of fun performing for tens of thousands of people (over 15Read More →

We are a pre-K through 5 elementary school with approximately 550 students. Recently our school has focused on promoting heart healthy life-long lifestyles and with Peter, the Jump Rope Master, we have been able to integrate this program into our heart healthy focus. This program does focus and promote a lifelong style of exercise and there are lots of strong points in his presentation. First of all, he supports and believes in audience participation and many students were able to participate. It is motivational and inspirational as Peter assures each child that he or she can be a champion and do something in life. Also, he explains about research that shows that not enough children get enough exercise everyday. He teaches that we each need to get one hour of exercise each day and talks about the different ways that can be done. Also, another thing that I really liked about this program is that he included some very specific vocabulary and even math building skills. Imagine about teaching about 360 or 390 degree angle with jump ropes among many other things that he teaches. So I recommend this program and think that you'll enjoy it as much as our students.
