An impressive demonstration of focus, balance, and physics at work.

@coolandnormal A woman starts by balancing a feather on the end of a carved stick. With great focus and concentration, she adds more sticks, one at a time, until she's built a towering contraption of sticks balancing each other and the feather. Using her foot, she raises one last stick, and balances the whole thing on top of that. At the end, she removes the feather and it all falls apart.
@coolandnormal It's pretty amazing. She's miked and you can also hear how much effort it's taking.

They look like bones - whale ribs or something similar. The smallest is maybe a foot long, the longest about six feet.
I saw this performed at a show called "Vegas Nocturne" many years ago, in a restaurant called "Rose, Rabbit, Lie". Picture a restaurant with a small stage area set up in the middle of the seating, and a hundred patrons all holding their breaths, awestruck.
