Rhode Island Yo Yo Champion Larry Sayce Makes World Record Run
Larry Sayce, 41, of Pawtucket Rhode Island, is described as the world yo-yo champion with nine titles, though his last win was in 1964 and no recognized world meet has since occurred. The former acrobat recounts eight hours daily practice, exhibitions across 25 foreign countries and 36 states, and his plans to revive a world meet while promoting his own yo-yo firm. He shares playful anecdotes about tricks like rocket-in-the-pocket and yo-yo limbo, and notes his lifelong love for showmanship. The second brief item reports KYMS radio in Santa Ana California losing $20,000 worth of equipment to burglars.
