Just moments before we welcomed international yo-yo champion Jensen Kimmitt to BT, one of our production team members approached me with a smile on her face.
“He wants to knock a coin off your ear with his yo-yo,” she smirked.
Right. I could think of experiences I’d rather have on a Monday morning than taking an errant toy to the chops but what was I supposed to do – say no?
Having never seen Jensen perform in person, I decided to place blind faith in his championship credentials. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? Even if I did lose seven teeth in the process, we’d no doubt reach a million hits on YouTube.
As you’ll see in the video below, Jensen rose to the challenge…and then some!
