Bongie’s Head Stand

This was usually our closing trick. Bongie every now and then would  balance on his head and then let go of the gimmicks. I did not want him to do this and I would shake the perch pole just a bit to stop him. This day was one of those times. It was a great trick….. balancing without holding on but I was afraid he might fall.  My concern was his safety and it was not really necessary as the audience didn’t know the difference. Comedy is what sold the act.
