Appearing at the library

Matthew Noel, the “Yo-Yo Man”, will be at the Centerville Branch Library June 28 at 10 a.m.; the Franklin Branch June 28 at 2 p.m. and the West End Branch June 29 at 10a.m. Noel showcases what wonders can be done with the use of a yoyo. Acquiring his love for magic at an early age, Noel was inspired by the PBS special “In Motion” that motivated him to attempt juggling. As an adult, he and his brother learned and practiced their yo-yo ninja skills during their stay in Singapore. Noel placed second in the East Texas Regionals, and he placed fourth in his division at the World Yo-Yo Competition. For the past 14 years, his passion has helped him improve his skills, combining this with his comedy and juggling act to provide a comedic act for children and their parents to enjoy.
