Two poles of different lengths balanced simultaneously on the head, as well as some other balancing tricks. This is know as a dual or twin inverted pendulum in control systems engineering. In the first 2 clips I use a long pole that is 4 times the length of the short pole. In the 3rd clip the long pole is only 3 times as long and is more difficult. The poles fit together in sections so that I can pack them in my bag. They're made from a cheap Argos wardrobe. The ball on the end of the long pole is mainly there to make the end more visible. I'm using rubber chair leg feet at the bottom end of the poles. Music is 'Heartbeats' by The Knife.

Have fun and thanks for watching. Music: George Benson - Affirmation.

Sponsored by Drop Props!/nI did a performance at the Cleveland Fest that was WAY droppy and I was pretty down about it for a while. To try to cheer myself up, I tried to make a list of tricks/patterns that I liked that I could do, then figured it would make an okay video./nThanks to Nikki, Mike, and Princess for help with recording. And Quinn for encouraging me in the fight with inverted sprung cascade./nThe music is Dr. Wily Symphonic by Blue.Nocturne, one of many great remixes at OverClocked ReMix

Can Opener - Literally flipping your lid! Reach over your shoulder and head, and hold the hat in an inverted pinch grip Flick the wrist upwards and release the hat, which will execute a perfect single spin (honest). Coat-peg catch above your head. Minus five style points if you have to look... Plus 10 points if you can catch the hat on your head blind, and without the coat-peg grip.
