Laura Ernst does all of this and more! Following Laura’s performance on America’s Got Talent, Howie Mandel said, “I love you! You are my soul mate.” SHOW Laura has created innovative props and brought new life to old favorites, never settling for average. In her show, you will be delighted by a human-sized hamster ball, side-splitting humor, exciting audience participation, award-winning juggling, and astounding acrobatic feats performed 25 feet in the air on her aerial fabric rig.

Laura can provide a variety of strolling ambient entertainment: Acrobatics & Balancing Stilt Walking Hula Hooping Human-Sized Hamster Ball (or Human Snow-Globe) Juggling PORTABLE AERIAL RIG Laura can bring the "awe" of aerial performances to your event with her portable rig! >> Career Highlights When Laura was little, her dad told her that if she picked a career that she truly loved then she would never have to work a day of her life. This probably wasn’t what he had in mind. It started innocently enough- learning to juggle for a middle school play in her small Iowa hometown. Her first performances were at street festivals in that hometown, wowing audiences with fire manipulation. Several years later, Laura has made a career out of her passion for entertaining. After joyfully juggling her way through college, Laura graduated and began her first job…behind a desk. This is where the journey really begins. After a couple of months, Laura realized that a “normal” job would never be fulfilling for her; she packed everything into her car and moved to the East Coast. After many trials and tribulations, she began to achieve the success she had worked so hard for. In 2008 Laura won 1st place at the World Juggling Federation, placing her among the best jugglers in the world. Then, on the 5th season of America’s Got Talent, Laura performed inside of her human-sized hamster ball- a prop so impressive it caused Howie Mandel to exclaim, “I love you! You are my soul mate.” Never settling for average, Laura has invented innovative props and brought new life to old favorites. In a career that is dominated by men, she has risen to the top. She has performed all over the world, and currently resides in Des Moines, Iowa with her wonderful husband Ryan. >> Testimonials “Laura was absolutely wonderful!!
