This hand balancing act was seven minutes long on the full stage.
The Shenk Brothers are dressed in modern costumes and perform hand balancing tricks. The understander sits at a table and rests his elbow on it. He then holds the top mounter with one hand, rises from the table, and proceeds to walk about the stage.
The trick with the table puts the act far beyond its contemporaries. Their tricks are new and original and have broad appeal. They work neatly and effectively.
