                                        Local News Headlines  "Challenge18 year old Max Laurino is
hardly your typical high school senior. While most students are taking a seat in the
classroom, Max is flying high above the crowds

Max was born in Argentina, into a circus family. He and his brother are a tandem tumbling
act and have traveled the world fulfilling a dream. Right now they perform daily at Circus
Circus in Las Vegas and next it's on to Europe.

But Max has another dream, to graduate from high school.

"Of course I'd like to get an education besides this. I can't do this the rest of my life", says
Max.

Max would be one of the few in his family to pursue a higher education, but he needed a
program that would allow him to travel the world while completing his senior year.

"I started thinking I'd miss a lot of school so my mom started researching on-line schools
and Beacon Academy showed up.

Beacon Academy of Nevada is an on-line program that allows students to get the credits
they need to receive their high school diploma.

It's a flexible, standard based curriculum combined with elective courses. It's something Max
needed in order to keep working and to graduate

"I log on and keep in touch with my teachers. I e-mail them once a week", says Max.

Although Max's goal is to one day perform with Cirque Du Soleil. He knows ultimately he
needs more than his brother to fall back on."

Chicago Sun, Times review
BY HEDY WEISS Theatre Critic

.                                                  " Perhaps best of all is a pair of Argentine brothers
(Maximiliano and Roberto Emanuel Laurino), whose act of fiercely propelled, acrobatic
"foot manipulation" -- in which one is the motor and the other the juggled "object" -- is a
marvel of strength, timing and trust".

                              "Brothers Maximiliano Laurino and Roberto Emanuel Laurino
(Argentina) are policemen that become Foot Manipulators, and create one of the most
daring and stunning acts of the show, "Flipping Out,"
when one brother flips and catapults the other brother every which way using only his
feet, where the airborne brother flawlessly lands."

                                 "One of my favorite acts was brothers Maximiliano and Roberto
Laurino. They were dressed as cops, but their cycle doubled as a stand for one brother
to lie on and use his feet to balance and toss the other like a spinning ragdoll.
At one point, the spinning brother did 22 somersaults in rapid succession on his brother’s
feet and the audience of about 1,500 went wild."

                                    "Argentinean brothers Maximiliano and Roberto Emanuel Laurino
also kept the crowd applauding with their impressive acrobatic foot juggling routine, with
one using his feet to flip the other multiple times in the air."

When the brothers Max and Emanuel Laurino from Las Vegas, boarded the "Got Talent" stage
(24.09.) kept primarily at the female audience breath away. Trained by the body in elaborate
costumes let the ladies just simply melt away. A touch of Las Vegas was blowing in the studio.


With a Foot-juggling, brothers thrilled the audience and jury. Emanuel twirled his younger brother
Max with his feet through the air. That alone was a masterpiece. But the incredible speed and
ease with which happened, was breathtaking.

Suddenly stopped for a brief moment, all the air in the room at Max landed with his feet on those
of his brother - and threatened to lose his balance. He waved his arms .... until then even on the
neck of his suit again brought into the correct position - what a scary moment in the "super talent"
studio. But Max smiled knowingly at the audience - the joke hit the mark.

Thunderous applause was the reward for this performance. The "Super Talent" judges (Dieter
Bohlen, Sylvie van der Vaart, Motsi Mabuse) swooned. Motsi (30) was not enough words for the
performance: "That was cool. That was bombastic. "

Sylvie van der Vaart (33) was for only one word: "Sensational!" And Dieter Bohlen (57) had to
lend his enthusiasm for this service in three languages of expression: "Fantastic - fantastico -
fantastic" with a triple 'Yes' they then moved into the next round.

Whether his brother Max Emmanuel faster, even more spectacular is whirling through the air - the
next appearance on "The Super Talent" will tell.
