This video is of a performance in Turkey where an acrobat shows off some mind-bending skills that most of the audience has never seen before. This performer is so amazingly talented and is performing stunts that are not common. This is not your regular acrobat show at the circus where different people perform the same tricks over and over every year to the same old music and props and the same old audience. This show is truly unique and contains new stunts that are incredibly interesting and mind-blowing.

The performer is balancing a four-legged table on her feet as she lies upside down on a chair. She has a spotter behind her, assumingly for safety or other control purposes. She begins the show with the table balanced on her feet at an angle, and at this point, it only looks like a large square. Viewers do not see quite yet that it is actually a four-legged table. If it were just a wooden box, it would seemingly be easier to balance; however, adding 4 long, skinny, spindly legs onto this table would and should make it a little more difficult to balance. The legs also pose a potential problem for getting caught up or caught on something, ruining the performance entirely. Thankfully, though, this acrobat is obviously very seasoned and very practiced, and she does not have any of these potential issues. She moves through her routine with ease and agility, as if she has been performing this stunt since she first learned to walk. She does not stumble or stutter once through the entire routine. There is no telling how many hours and hours of practice this performer had to do for months and months, possibly even years, before actually ever performing this for a live audience.

The show really heats up when the performer starts moving the table in all different directions, her balance never faltering for a moment. With a running motion, while she is upside down, she moves the table with her feet. It spins and picks up speed, and audiences cannot help but flinch a little, waiting and expecting for the table to fall or something to go wrong. Of course, though, nothing does go wrong. The obviously seasoned acrobat spins the table continuously with no issues whatsoever.

There is also a fellow performer in the background, which is assumed to be a spotter, but that is not one hundred percent certain just yet at this point. He dances to the beat and claps to the beat; he is not still in the background as most would expect someone to be if they were just the spotter. It makes us wonder if there is another reason he is back there; we cannot be completely sure, though.

Regardless, the performer spinning the table is a pro and definitely a show stopper. This performance is one that audiences will not readily forget. This is what a true and professional and talented acrobat looks like.
