a delicate balance.

THE EGG. Play with your spoon before breakfast, uneat a few eggs, and follow up with a glass of what could be wine. And, finally, swords.

(Poki is an old friend; found this today while checking to see what he's been up to lately and was both entranced and amazed!)

I'll watch it in bits, super intense, daringly poised, Poki's mage-level, the swords things was way more than edge-of-seat. Thanks for posting, I didn't know what I was getting into at the start.

He has a website too - POKI

I found that weirdly disturbing, but I'm still surprised at how few subscribers/views/likes that has.

Cracking an egg and getting black goo - that's never a good sign.

The first half wasn't quite my style, but the second half, wow! Absoluetly amazing balancing acts. Really cool, great skill.

It's amazing how much visual and auditory horror movie tropes can make something as silly as balancing a spoon on your nose (or as genuinely impressive as all that other balancing) feel TERRIFYING.

There is no spoon.

I went to a raft circus that he was performing at Cathedral Park in Portland maybe last year? Regretfully, what I found the most memorable about the whole performance was that because it was an unpermitted event, there was a huge crowd but no public toilets (the park's toilets were closed) anywhere nearby.
