Performers were trained to do demonstrations like in this picture on the left.
Men dove through hoops like what you see below.
The hoops were not glued to each other, and easily could fall apart if touched. The hoops were made of cardboard.
Performers here dressed as Chinese Dragons, and they danced and balanced on the ball without falling.
The most memorable demonstration in the show at the end was the bike with performers waving fans.
"Do not try this at home," Carpenter Performing Arts Center's Director Michele Roberge said. "They started training very young."This woman here only dropped one wine glass when she was on a see saw.
Having had performed at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the talented Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats amazed people of all ages at CSULB Saturday sharing their harrowing and death-defying displays with their extremely flexible bodies.
The worldwide experienced acrobats taught Americans that they can associate the fascinating Orient with acrobatic art, not just rice and sushi. The harmony of body and mind part of ancient Oriental tradition can be clearly seen in the acrobats, who easily could bend their bodies into angles unimaginable by the viewer.
