Hi My name is Ian Cole. I am a 20-year old yo yo player. I am currently in the Masters of Architecture Program at Kansas State University. In my off-time I am a professional yoyo performer. I started yoyoing at around age 13 after watching someone performing on TV. Before long, I was hooked on yoyos. Through performing,  I love to share my passion for yoyoing with others.

I travel around my home state of Missouri and around the country yo yoing for crowds of all types and sizes. I have performed in the following states: Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, Delaware, Wisconsin, Florida, California and Hawaii.

 I  perform in many different venues:

• schools
• libraries
• orphanages
• shopping malls
• nursing homes
• church events
• youth meetings
• private parties
• The City Museum in St. Louis

One of the most frequently asked questions during performances is....where do you get your yoyos? The answer is, I get them entirely on-line. I recommend YoyoPlay.com. They give on-line assistance to all players from beginner to expert. Plus they ship the same day.
