Scheduled to appear:
Chris Rider- Chris has been declared "one of the
strongest men on this planet" by strength
historians. You’ll be amazed as he pulls a full
sized pick-up truck loaded with six cast
members…with his hair! Chris will attempt to break a
world’s record for phonebook tearing.
Stanley "Stanless Steel" Pleskun- Stan is the only
man that can bend a US quarter with his fingers.
Stan will be performing a death defying feat of
strength as he has a pick-up truck drive over his
torso.
Chris "Wonder" Schoeck -Pound for pound, Chris is
bending some of the toughest steel bars in the
26”-30” range.
Brad Johnson - Brad is a bodyweight strength
training enthusiast. He is the author of “Bodyweight
Exercises for Extraordinary Strength. He was
inducted into the Grip Strength Hall of Fame in
December of 2011 and has earned the nickname, “King
of the Rafters”.
Sonny Barry -Sonny is in his mid 60's and is the
best at turning bottle caps inside out with his
thumb, and if that doesn’t get you, he has the
ability to break up to 3 pieces of stacked 2 by 12
construction lumber with NO spacers using only his
fist.
Steve Weiner - Steve is a master of combination
feats, such as hoisting a 250 pound fire hydrant
with his head while lifting a 300 pound cement
sphere to his shoulder and levering a 35 pound
sledgehammer at the same time.
Baron Von Geiger - Known as the world’s strangest
strongman, Baron holds a certified world’s record
for lifting 100 pounds with his earlobes. He will be
pulling a truck down the street…with his teeth.
Cardone - Master escape artist, Cardone will perform
one of the most physically challenging escape acts,
his version of Houdini’s potentially deadly ‘milk
can escape’…let’s hope he makes it out!
Adam RealMan -Adam is a mainstay at Sideshows by the
Seashore. He is an acclaimed sword swallower, fire
eater and master and Professa of all sideshow arts.
Adam will serve as host and master of ceremonies for
this event.
Special appearance by Slim “The Hammer Man” Farman
Special guest of honor, Mike Greenstein, son of
legendary Coney Island Strongman, the Mighty Atom

art of the strongman.
If you don’t think it can be bent, twisted, smashed,
broken, torn, shredded, pulled or demolished by a
human being…you’re in for a surprise, because it’s
all real, it’s all alive, and it’s only at the Olde
Time Coney Island Strongman Spectacular!
