About us

The people behind the giants

Our stilt walkers, whom you can hire or book for your event, always love to perform, and it rubs off on the audience. Our team is made up of artists from all kinds of genres, from actors, acrobats and musicians to slackliners, who have by far the best sense of balance. All of them love to inspire the small folk at their feet.

Björn de Vil is the founder. For more than 25 years he has been on stage as a variety performer, magician and presenter, from Kiel to Dubai and in more than 200 appearances for the German broadcaster NDR. His experience and his love of unusual entertainment shape our stilt giants too.
