The Invisible World of Science.
There’s a magical world of science all around us, exerting forces that shape our reality. Professor Wow uses his mind-boggling circus skills to reveal these invisible forces that are right under our noses. Using floating objects, he brings the concept of lift to life, helping kids understand how airplanes fly. He breaks the sound barrier with the crack of a bullwhip to give students a visceral understanding of speed’s powerful forces. With expert juggling and balancing skills, plus help from audience volunteers, Professor Wow demonstrates Newton’s three laws of motion, and more.
Since 1998, Aytahn Ross has wowed and educated one million people around the world as a solo artist as well as with his signature character, The Great Balanzo. He’s had repeat invitations to Just for Laughs, performed a solo for Canada’s Governor General, and produced a theatre series at the National Arts Centre.
“Professor Wow teaches the big science concepts in a fun, engaging manner. His circus artist skills add wonder and “wow” to the performance! He knows how to get a laugh but also how to pull his audience back in an instant to a whisper. I wholeheartedly encourage all schools to book Professor Wow! ”
