Fake Yo-Yo Master Duping TV Station After TV Station (VIDEO)

First Posted: 05/10/10 06:17 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 05:25 PM ET

Just give this guy a chance when viewing this. It's a bit of a slow build, but oh my, what a pay off. His name is Kenny Strasser (or "K-Strass," as he goes by in the Yo-Yo community), and he's been making the rounds on numerous Midwest morning shows, showing off his skill. And that "skill" is convincing rube after rube that he is in fact a Yo-Yo master. He is not. (via Deadspin)


WATCH:




Here's K-Strass on another program. Same yellow hat and suspenders. Same trickery.

Come on. This is guy is joking. It was funny watching him wave those yo yos over his head.

This is a high quality, high investment scam. Nice. Right up there with Sacha Baron Cohen.

That was brilliant! This guy may be the next Ricky Gervais. How did he keep a straight face?

"Oh, that's probably my dad..." "This one really gets the kids going." "We have so much fun with this that we sometimes don't even get to the environmental stuff." Did he say "muscle memory?" Oh my God!

Brilliant.

It's funny & hard to watch @ the same time.
Just like 'Tim & Eric Awsome Show, Great Job'.

Was in our recent local news in Minnesota. So it finally made the national feeding stream. Interesting. I find it somewhat funny and somewhat gosh, felt sorry for the guy.
