Out of the Box Book Cover

  • Father-and-son team Iouri and Michael Petoukhov who combined their passion for pizza and love of LEGO into the ultimate plastic-brick, pie-making machine! Using only LEGO, the gourmet gadget can generate a full pizza, from sauce to cheese, peppers, and sausage. It even slices the pizza once finished baking!
  • Designer Penelope Gazin whose “scaled” fashion line features 20 different matching outfits for owners and their pet lizards!
  • The nothing-but-net talent of New York aerialist Amadeus Lopez who, while suspended by his mouth from a basketball hoop, can spin two balls on the forefinger of each hand and simultaneously shoot a basket with a third ball “thrown” from his foot!
  • Ambidextrous lawyer and artist Colin Darke of Detroit, Michigan, who can illustrate two halves of a portrait or design simultaneously — his right and left hands working independently throughout the remarkable process!
  • Astoria, New York-based Matthew Van Vorst who has given new meaning to the term “cutting the cheese.” His ongoing series of sculptures depict a variety of subjects, from sandwiches to suitcases — all made from cheese!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Out of the Box, is now available at major retailers and on Amazon.
