Then back to nose and up to forehead. Performer then lies on floor, then back to feet, still balancing. The plug hat biz is the comedy gag of pulling down on the vest as hat is dropped to head. Next showering balls through hoop, balanced on mouthpiece. This eliminates the cramped position of showering when the hoop is balanced straight up from the chin.
Last pic shows cone balanced on rim of hat, most of above cone routine being done with hat on.
Take a bow, my lad. We liked Hugh Shepley's balancing routines in Doug's column this issue. If you've ever been up in the Bulletin offices and remember the crowded conditions you'll get a kick out of imagining us fiddling around with the cone routine. Looks like plenty of Jugglers will pass through Tulsa this coming fall. Cole Bros. Circus here Sept. 16th for three days, and hope to contact Otto Greibling, Meneses, and Joe Lee.
