Rope as Art


There is no doubt that Shibari is an art. But there are people out there taking it to knew levels.I personally am amazed at what people are capable of with just some rope and a little spare time.


Human rope sculptures are quite amazing.
 
Some are truly astounding.


Making designer rope is another art. Clothing and costumes out of meticulously tied knots and patterns.







The Great Gordo Gamsby


Gordo Gamsby is an entertainer. Though not your run of the mill entertainer.
He has been on the forefront of contemporary sideshow for some years now. Decades in fact. He leaves onlookers Shocked, amazed and stunned. He does acts like Sword swallowing, Neon light swallowing, Chainsaw  juggling, Cigar box manipulation, Blockhead, Feats of strength, Suspension, Dark clown, Human canon target, Cranial Corkscrew. He has 9 Guinness world records. A pretty crazy amazing guy really.

The thing that got me interested is the First Ever Human Rigging With Suspension.


An incredible sideshow feat of human rigging suspension. The Great Gordo Gamsby performs a world first with four meat hooks pierced in his back, while acrobat Ben Lewis performs his straps act.
Have a squiz at the vid :)
