Hankie Trick #1
Posted By thecircusblog on September 14, 2011
It’s really not an easy trick. If you have never seen it , it’s like this.
A handkerchief is laid across the tight wire. Then the performer goes to his knees and bends down, taking the hankie in his teeth as you see here. Notice his right arm is behind the wire and his left is in front. It is rarely noticed, but this is the support needed to do the trick.
