The woman does the contortion while the man performs the strength portion of the act. She does some bending on a raised platform then disappears to allow the man to swing gents from the audience around in the air while they grip his hair. The man also bounces chairs on his head without any apparent injury.
The act seems to be appearing on the work of a fellow named "Barry," but it is not. The novelty will get over well.
