@Dr_Bombay @globalmuseum I saw the original version of this act by Lara Jacobs at the Amaluna Cirque du Soleil show. Want to give credit where credit is due. It was created by her father.
Here is a really good video of her performance from 2013

I saw this live at TEDxEdmonton way back when. Just amazing. -
@globalmuseum #ALT4me if someone feels like adding descriptive alt text that would be super appreciated, it won't load and the alt text is the caption.
@coolandnormal A woman starts by balancing a feather on the end of a carved stick. With great focus and concentration, she adds more sticks, one at a time, until she's built a towering contraption of sticks balancing each other and the feather. Using her foot, she raises one last stick, and balances the whole thing on top of that. At the end, she removes the feather and it all falls apart.

Shame about the appalling camera work - I had to give up watching part way through. -

They look like bones - whale ribs or something similar. The smallest is maybe a foot long, the longest about six feet.I saw this performed at a show called "Vegas Nocturne" many years ago, in a restaurant called "Rose, Rabbit, Lie". Picture a restaurant with a small stage area set up in the middle of the seating, and a hundred patrons all holding their breaths, awestruck.
