  Want a great tip for sleep-over activities for teenagers?  
 

Amazing...  That's how Kit Fox described his short stint on the May 18th edition of the Today Show. Kit did a great job teaching Anne Curry how to stack - live!  "It was awesome to actually be right on the set that I see every morning." Fourteen-year-old world-class sport stacker, Kit Fox, was invited to New York City to be part of a segment featuring sleep-over activities for teenagers.  What better than sport stacking with Speed Stacks? 

Monthly Today Show contributor Stephanie Oppenheim thought so and awarded Speed Stacks with an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award. (Check it out at www.toyportfolio.com)

 
         
 

Sport stacking is a hit in the Green Room, too... Backstage, the green room was filled with kids who were also going to be part of the segment demonstrating the other products...and once they saw Kit warming up, they all wanted to learn how to sport stack.

Kit gave the kids a quick lesson, and soon the green room was filled with the sound of swishing cups! 

   
         
 

All of the parents, NBC staff and even Larry King (who was also in the green room) were amazed at

  • how quickly the kids learned,
  • how much fun they were all having,
  • how it kept them occupied for the hour of waiting time before their turn on-air. Speed Stacks were definitely the hit of the party!
   
         
  As for Kit, the highlights of his experience included showing Ann Curry how to sport stack, watching Katie Couric run through the NBC studio on her way out to the plaza, meeting up with Eric McCormack in the stairwell (as in Will on Will & Grace),  and sharing sport stacking with staff and other Today Show guests (including Larry King) in the green room.  "It was a blast to be in New York City and be part of this show," Kit said.  "It's an experience I'll never forget!"
