2012 - London Paralympic 2012
Laszlo has performed at the 2012 London Paralympics Closing Ceremony with the Motorbike act. His partner was Lyndsay Adams. Lyndsay lost her left leg 2 years ago. It did not stop her to train on the trapeze, and so she took part at the Opening Ceremony as well on her trapeze. At the Closing Ceremony while Laszlo were riding the bike, Lyndsay was taking care of the balance on the trapeze under the bike. At the end of the act she lit the Energy Ball with a torch 30 m high up in the air. An wonderful example of human will and determination. Bravo Lyndsay!

2012 - London 2012 Olympic
It's done!!
High wire on the Olympic!
Laszlo and Olga have performed in the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Olga has performed at the beginning of the show, she did few tricks on the wire, tightened on the top of the Tower Bridge model.
Laszlo performed his high wire walk on the top of the Stadium 45 m high, while Ed Sheeran was singing Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here".
With this act director Kim Gavin symbolized the 1975 "Wish You Were Here" albums cover, where 2 man shake hands, one is burning.
The original idea was to use two high wire walkers, but it was not possible to lit safely someone at that great height, so they decided to use a puppet. It was an exiting task, and a magnificent experience taking part in the show.
