[New Act] Hand Balancing, 10 mins; full stage. Man and woman. Man seated at table opening. Phone rings. He answers. Partner enters. Somebody wants to engage them for a show. The decide they need practice. “Let’s try a few tricks before we go over to fill the date,” the man says. Business of man peeling off coat and woman exiting and changing from street to athletic costume. Routine of hand to hand stunts follows. All of the familiar lifts and balances are offered and neatly executed. Several lifts from the floor to a hand to hand brought applause responses at the American Monday night. Good small time openers of closer of the standard variety.
