The Pole

Having had sufficiently shaken off the dizziness of spinning around in that hoop, Pancho Libre started to set the stage for his finale.


It involved bringing in some men from around the audience to hold the lines linked up to his pole. Which he was going to climb.


Some acrobatics were at hand.


The only thing holding him up there is one foot kind of wedging into the pole and locking him in place. You try that.


One more volunteer- a woman out of the audience. In typical busker fashion, he was flirting with her and asking if her boyfriend was in the audience. In fact, her husband was- he's the fellow in the black shirt holding one of the lines. Pancho got a big laugh out of the audience as he realized he'd better behave.


She was to hand up to him when asked this final extension for the pole.

    1. It's a different texture but same flavour. I tend to buy them in tandem and eat them with jam.
