    It's slow, so I fast-forwarded to see what she was doing. Impressive body control, blah blah blah. That's what "stillness" and being "centered" means, blah blah blah. But, it was how she undid all those sticks that really impressed me. When the sticks came down I was all, "Wait -- what? I thought that was a feather!" (I also wondered why the vertical stick didn't drop.)

    :jawdrop: But anyway, wow, maybe there actually is something to the feather that broke the camel's back!

    I saw this exact act performed live last year in NYC, was done by a bloke - same wood, shapes. creating the overall leaf shape, may even have been more links in it. Mind was blown.
