It was great to have the Amazing Sladek back in Portland again this year. As usual, Sladek delivered another death-defying performance that had our fans holding their breath and on the edge of their seats as his tower of chairs grew higher and higher. Thanks again for another great show – Rip City is already looking forward to your next appearance.
The Amazing Sladek is one of our favorite halftimes for our fans, and always puts on a fantastic performance. Sladek is a yearly staple for both of our Timberwolves & Lynx entertainment!
I love working with The Amazing Sladek because he never fails to amaze our audience–and even me. The relationship I have built with Sladek over the years is unmatched. He is outgoing and friendly while remaining professional and dependable. He always puts on an edge-of-your-seat performance and even though I have watched him perform many times, I cannot take my eyes off of his show.
Hi Patti! – Just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your help! As always, Sladek was absolutely AMAZING and Philly loved him. I’m VERY excited that we are able to have him return at the end of the season!!!
The Amazing Sladek is just that… AMAZING! His daredevil act filled the arena with energy and brought the crowd to their feet. If you haven’t seen this act, you have to. It’s simply one of the greatest entertainment acts you will get the chance to see. We cannot wait to bring The Amazing Sladek back to Sioux Falls!

Patti, Gary – thank you for last night, the performance was AWESOME! My favorite halftime of the whole season. And Broadway Jim is an unbelievably great new addition!
Thanks so much.
