Act 2 - Al Millar, 2008

Alakazam aka Al Millar aka The Human Knot is a contortionist who also happens to have a wicked sense of humour and a great rapport with his audience.  It was fun to capture everyone's faces as he wriggled and twisted and squeezed his body through tiny spaces.

Here he fits himself through racket #2, finishing off by manipulating his limbs through a toilet seat; a trick he likes to call Trainspotting.  The guy is a mad talented genius. Just look at how enraptured his audience are.

His grand finale takes place high atop a pole while he juggles knives.
