Scheduled to appear:
Chris Rider- Chris has been declared “one of the strongest men on this planet” by strength historians. You’ll be amazed as he pulls a full sized pick-up truck loaded with six cast members…with his hair! Chris will attempt to break a world’s record for phonebook tearing.

Stanley “Stanless Steel” Pleskun- Stan is the only man that can bend a US quarter with his fingers. Stan will be performing a death defying feat of strength as he has a pick-up truck drive over his torso.

Chris “Wonder” Schoeck -Pound for pound, Chris is bending some of the toughest steel bars in the 26”-30” range.

Brad Johnson – Brad is a bodyweight strength training enthusiast. He is the author of “Bodyweight Exercises for Extraordinary Strength. He was inducted into the Grip Strength Hall of Fame in December of 2011 and has earned the nickname, “King of the Rafters”.

Sonny Barry -Sonny is in his mid 60’s and is the best at turning bottle caps inside out with his thumb, and if that doesn’t get you, he has the ability to break up to 3 pieces of stacked 2 by 12 construction lumber with NO spacers using only his fist.

Steve Weiner – Steve is a master of combination feats, such as hoisting a 200 pound fire hydrant with his head while lifting a 100 pound cement sphere to his shoulder and levering a 13 pound sledgehammer at the same time.

Baron Von Geiger – Known as the world’s strangest strongman, Baron holds a certified world’s record for lifting 100 pounds with his earlobes. He will be pulling a truck down the street…with his teeth.

Cardone – Master escape artist, Cardone will perform one of the most physically challenging escape acts, his version of Houdini’s potentially deadly ‘milk can escape’…let’s hope he makes it out!

Adam RealMan -Adam is a mainstay at Sideshows by the Seashore. He is an acclaimed sword swallower, fire eater and master and Professa of all sideshow arts. Adam will serve as host and master of ceremonies for this event.
