Chinese AcrobaticsⅣ
Unlike western magicians, whose props are part of a stage set, and employ smoke, mirrors, electronics and lighting effects, a Chinese acrobatic conjurer has to carry these items upon their person throughout their act, concealed beneath a loose gown till the climactic moment when they produce them to a stunned audience. Usually, that moment comes during a series of gymnastic feats including somersaults and spins that are awe-inspiring in their own right.
Such dramatic feats are possible only after many years of hard training, including study of the philosophy and a total devotion to perfecting the skills of KongFu.
