Yes, the Beijing Acrobatic Fantasy was in town today for a single show. Judging by the age of the performers (generally young), and the number of mistakes (many), this is a trainee troupe. Still, the event was for charity and it was a good show, spoiled from a photographic standpoint by the totally crappy lighting at Tiffany Theatre, which is normally used to scatter assorted colours across dubious looking transvestites and does not do a good job of spotlighting an acrobatic show. So I was shooting in the semi-dark with various lurid colours being cast across the stage; which meant 3200 ISO, too-slow shutter speeds and generally awful results.
The above is eight still shots sewn together to show how you get two pots onto your head without using your hands. He also did it with three pots, but the lighting changed half way through the stunt so I can’t animate it.
