Whip manipulation
His amazing skill in the control of the long stock whip appeals strongly. During his curious feats the audience is constantly impressed with the chances his assistants are taking. The pistol-like reports from the vicious goad impress one with its force, and when the manipulator flicks the ashes from a cigar in the mouth of his assistant one is rather startled at the risk of injury.
