Oh my gosh. That was incredible. Beautiful, mesmerizing. And when she removed the feather and the rest collapsed it was even more meaningful. One seemingly small thing insignificant thing can make an impact on creating something even greater. And it is no longer insignificant. The light as air feather was the strongest component of the entire creation. It was foundational to the whole thing. When it fell it brought tears to my eyes. Not because it came apart but because I felt there was an underlying meaning and message a person can take away from this beautiful piece of art.
@@tinymcgoo1195So the notches and tacky substance knew exactly when to give way when she gently removed the feather? Yea, right. Its called Sandhorn Balance. It relies on locating the center of gravity of each component ( beginning with the feather) as you progress stem by stem requiring concentration, precision, and determining the exact point along the stem where one component perfectly holds in balance the previous component. You can learn more about how this "art form" ( based on science principals of center of gravity / center of mass) first developed. I have watched others online demonstrate this technique. To me its mesmerizing and mind boggling to watch. But apparently critics and skeptics look at it as trickery.
@@tinymcgoo1195 Give me a break. The technique its called Sandhorn Balance. It is based on determining the center of gravity of each component - beginning with the feather and then determining the exact point of center of gravity as you add the next component and so on. When the feather is removed it disrupts the balance at the centers of gravity of the remaining stems. It takes concentration, precision, not to mention gentleness. You can read about the technique and when it originated. And see others perform it. I find it mesmerizing and incredible. Apparently skeptics just jump to calling it trickery.
@@tinymcgoo1195 Oh, give me a break. The technique is called the Sanddorn Balance technique. Its been around for 15+ years. It is based in scientific principal of locating the center of gravity ( beginning with the feather) then finding the center of gravity of each palm stem that is added. It takes concentration, focus, precision and scientific accuracy. ( not notches and glue) Tbe creator of this " artistic" balance technique won awards and notoriety for his unbelievable skill. If it was discovered he used "tacky stuff" he would have been labelled a fraud. He went on to share his skill, knowledge and technique to a few others. Each person that has learned how to do this no doubt adds their own drama, style, music, etc to the mesmerizing technique but that only adds to the incredible skill and beauty to the demonstration. Look up online Sanddorn Balance. You will see a lot of info and explanation how science and art come together. Not notches and tacky stuff.
Nothing small is insignificant, it is the foundation and strength of existence. Truly meaningful, and something we should never forget. I remember a lady once sending me a card with a packet of seeds, I planted the and my garden literally blooms ever spring. No expensive flowers come close to that gift for me.... Nature is truly magical! ❤
It's such a great performance. Many years ago I have seem exactly the same performance, it was conducted by a Japennese lady. Her performance video could be found in YT, sorry I forgot the Japennese lady's name.
Non potevo crederci. è stato così incredibile. si dice che sia leggero come una piuma e tuttavia mantenne tutti quei rami al loro posto finché la piuma non fu rimossa.
Imagine the collective exhale that moment if it were to fall. Hahaha! Everyone is so captivated that they don’t even realize they aren’t breathing or making a sound even. Lol like don’t even blink.
１０数年前に、日本人が米国でやってたのを思い出した。同じ演出だし、関係者だろうか？ I remembered that Japanese people were doing this in the United States about 10 years ago. It's the same production, so maybe they're related?
Ce numéro génial a été présenté il y a une dizaine d'année par une chinoise (je crois) qui en est l'initiatrice. Ceci ne retire rien à la performance de cette artiste.
As fantastic as that performance is, what comes next? What’s her repertoire? Can’t just do that again. I’ve seen that before by another. It’s always stunning.
Next, she will use a bowling ball to balance a semi truck on top of a drill while eating chocolate fudge brownie and all to the tune of "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night
I wish the American version had more interesting acts like this. Unfortunately though, it would likely not be appreciated. The US needs more culture. It's just singers, magicians, ventriloquists, etc. The same old stuff.
