Paul Perry

This strong act was nine minutes long. Paul Perry has an act similar to Paul Conches. He does heavyweight lifting. He also catches a heavy ball on the back of his neck which is thrown to him from a trap. He also handles giant car wheels and claims that he is the smallest heavyweight lifter that can do so.
He tends to let his act drag, but with some showmanship he could make it out of the "pop" houses.
