WITH MORE than 40 Guinness World Records under his belt and more tricks than a Jedi master, local performer The Space Cowboy will offer a string of local shows this weekend.
If you have seen him before catching arrows while blindfolded, swallowing swords, bending spoons with his mind or juggling a chainsaw while up in a tall monocycle, The Space Cowboy (aka Byron Bay’s own Chayne Hultgren) has brand new amazing acts to keep you on the edge of your seat once again.
The son of a gymnast and a painter, Chayne says he was always encouraged to express himself through performance and arts.
“My dad taught me to juggle when I was eight years old, and my sister had a little unicycle so I learned to ride that,” he said.
“I started performing at the markets in Byron when I was eight and people threw money at me so I knew I was up to something good.
“When I was 17, after travelling around Australia doing street shows, I bought a ticket to the UK so I started doing shows around England.”
Chayne has now moved on to become a festival performer around the world.
