The Great Throwdini with Special Opening acts, Brianna Belladonna and Amanda Jane

  • Coney Island USA 1208 Surf Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11224 United States (map)

Throwdini, The 'World's Fastest and Most Accurate Knife Thrower,' performs 'MAXIMUM RISK — The Impalement Arts with a Touch of Magic and Comedy.' Sit back and relax, if you can, as knifes, axes, tomahawks and machetes are thrown with lightning speed and surgical precision around his lovely, daring, and talented assistant.

The Great Throwdini, internationally known as ‘The World's Fastest and Most Accurate Knife Thrower’ has proven himself worthy of standing amongst a hand full of impalement artist legends, both historically and contemporary. His unique style of performing in a tailed tuxedo as well as the innovations he’s created identify him immediately.

Amongst those innovations are his veiled stunts with both one and two assistants hidden behind a paper veil, creating the technique of catching knives, and closing his act with the stabbing of a signed card. After being the fourth person in history to perform ‘The Veiled Wheel of Death’ he became the first and only to perform it with 2 assistants — subsequently featured in the Centennial Edition of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Likewise, at the straight board, two assistants are unseen behind a paper veil as he throws knives on either side and then in between them — in a black theater to a strobed light.

In 2022 Throwdini received one of the magic community's highest honors presented by The International Magicians Society: The 24K Gold Merlin Lifetime Achievement Award recognizing his Outstanding Performance and Contributions to the Impalement Arts. The Merlin is magic’s equivalent to the Oscar of the Academy Awards. This is Throwdini's second Merlin, the first was in 2009 for Outstanding Performance in the Impalement Arts.

Tattooed beauty Brianna Belladonna performs daredevil stunts including Sword Swallowing, Fire Eating, Glass walking and other jaw dropping acts. One of the only female Emcees in her field, she brings next level circus entertainment to stages all over the world.

You have seen her on network television featured in "How I Met Your Mother", "CSI", "Auction Hunters", "Inked" and AMC's "Freakshow" just to name a few. She was a starring cast member in the Las Vegas show "Freaks". Brianna has also performed with The Jim Rose Circus, Coney Island Sideshow, and with the haute couture circus, Lucent Dossier. In addition she’s toured the US, Europe & New Zealand and also holds two world records in sword swallowing!

Amanda Jane is a variety performer from Beacon NY. She specializes in aerial entertainment and chaos.
