Christian Stoinev is a fifth generation circus performer who started at the age of 5. He was one of the youngest acts in the Big Apple Circus at the age of 13, and eventually became a part of the ISU family as a student and performing for the Gamma Phi Circus. Big things have always happened for Christian, and you may remember seeing him after ISU as a semi-finalist on America's Got Talent. He is known as the shirtless hand-balancer (and for good reason)…

WOW! He balanced on a wine bottle WITH HIS PINKY! Soo amazing! 

Christian has been traveling and performing all over the world, but took some time out of his shirtless, hand-balancing schedule, to perform at the Illinois State grad and America’s Got Talent star Christian Stoinev will be performing at halftime of this Saturday's Illinois State men’s basketball game. Good news…Scooby will be with his as well! He hasn't decided whether or not he will be performing shirtless, so that still remains to be seen.

Of course we had to have a little fun with Christian in the B104 studio…
