Atilla is no stranger to the stage. We believe this is likely why he’s so comfortable and fun to watch at competitions. He started flairing professionally in 2000 by competing and traveling internationally to teach flair bartending and mixology. His influence is certainly apparent. Over 800 bartenders in 15 different countries have had the privilege of learning and working with this talented professional.
“Atilla has influenced and inspired thousands of flair bartenders with his unique style, tricks and passion for flair bartending,” said Christian Delpech, former World Champion flair bartender and co-host ofFlairLive TV. “The way he performs on stage, his interaction with the crowd, showmanship and ability of taking flair to a different level make him a ‘one of a kind’ flair bartender.”
Obviously a trailblazer, he is one of the first flair bartenders to choreograph his moves to music and one of the first people in Europe to embrace three- and four-object flair. Most European flair bartenders at the time he started had only done two object flair.
We were curious to know if Atilla had any flair bartenders who he really admired.
“I love many styles because they have all been created with different minds,” he said.
Competitive Achievements
He has competed in over 36 flair competitions and has won
over 80% of them, including the honor of earning the 4-time European Flair Champion
title. Atilla is most proud, though, of winning the 2001 Roadhouse World Open because
it was his first international competition. He later took second in the Roadhouse
finals that year, making him second in the world at that time. Quite an accomplishment
for a beginning competitor!
He is also grateful for being a 2009 Flair Battle Rome finalist as this is where he was able to execute some of his hardest moves in a competition. You can watch the video from that competition here:
“Atilla has an impressive resume of competition placement over the past decade…and we expect to see him place very well among the top competitors in the world,” said Ken Hall, President of High Spirits Enterprises, former world champion flair bartender and trainer for Walt Disney World and Harrah’s Entertainment.
Attracting the Attention of World Media
With his long list of accomplishments and
dedication to training other bartenders, it’s not a surprise that the media took
an interest in Atilla as well.
After competing on the TV show Britain’s Got Talent , he definitely became the center of attention in the European media. He has appeared on the BBC, ITV twice and served/performed with celebrities such as Madonna and John Travolta.
Where You Can Find Atilla in 2011
Selected as one of the few flair bartenders to work
at Las Vegas’ newest flair bar, Rock & Rita’s inside Circus Circus casino, Atilla
is back to Uk for a short while for a new project.
Atilla’s Dream: Reaching New Heights for Flair
Passion is a word commonly used to describe a professional flair bartender’s interest in flair. However, the word doesn’t do justice to Atilla’s definition of what he feels for flair bartending as a sport…
When I perform flair, it makes me happier than anything else. All I see are my hands…and when I practice bottles and shakers are all I see. The music is all I hear, while the surroundings behind and around me completely disappear. Flair takes me to another world where I can actually feel the high and all the excitement under my skin. It’s something that I could never quit…I can say for me, it’s a lot like making love.
He continued to describe his personal goals for himself which included reaching to the highest flair level possible.
“I want to bring a new vision to flair bartending and create new, original styles. My aim is to practice as hard as I can to achieve this.”
With practicing nearly seven hours each day, we believe Atilla is well within reach of next generation flair.
