SPINNING PLATES

Plate spinning is a ‘circus manipulation art’ where a person spins numerous plates atop long poles – with the primary goal of not allowing the plates to crash to the ground.

To put it mildly, the process requires flawless concentration and calculated movement!

The Guinness World Record for plate spinning is held by a gentleman named, David Spathaky.

In 1996, in Bangkok, with his assistant Debbie Woolley handing him plates, Spathaky rested plates on dowels and, with a flick of his wrists, sent them spinning for minutes at a time.

He was able to reach a total of 108 plates, before his record-breaking feat came to an end!

What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?

Not much, really.
