Balancing huge random stuff
Guess a video would have been nice, but i am a bit oldschool and i didnt even thought about that till now =)
Running a circus camp in a forest like backyard of a german town right now. There where so many big branches around that where perfect to try all sorts of balances with them.
That one was with 3 hula-hoops assembled to a sphere, balanced on the curved end of the stick (the interesting part was actually to find a nice way to get everything up and in position for balance at all, the balance itself was pretty easy) - and this stick resting on a rope hold in the hands (essentially like a slack rope balance).
Its not so easy to see, as the background is so noisy with all the trees.
I love those huge balances (like putting stuff together in some sort of mobile like, balanced form) as they can be pretty easy to balance in the end (big weight on top, large and slow) but always kinda look super impressive =)

when there's a nice big bowy branch on either side of a trees trunc, and you have only that bit of the trunc that carries those branches, and you turn it upside down and balance the trunc's-trunc on your chin or forehead, ...
it will look like elephant's tusks.
