One of the brothers, said to be the best head walker, was taken ill and the other went through with the performance. Personally I do not believe that this head jumping appeals to anybody except the degenerates in the gallery. It is shocking to those of finer sensibilities, and can only result in the mental and physical disability of the performer.
