Some Crazy Contortion

I found this sweet contortion clip by random. The title etc is in Russian so I know very little about him. When I run his name, Мухтар Гусенгаджиев, through the google translate I get Mukhtar Gusengadzhiev. From there I found some pictures, and this is what Limbermen have to say about him:

An excellent male frontbender, currently lives in Russia.
The first 5 pictures are from Alexander Zhukov's World of Contortion.
Thanks to Lee for the framegrabbs.
He's was apperaing in the theater play "Genesi, from the museum of sleep" which is currently playing here then has has been a part in Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity in Las Vegas.
The clip below is from the french TV show Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde, (the biggest cabaret in the world...)

And finally here he is from a Cirque de Soleil TV show.

Carnytube 12




Bob Williams and his Dog Louie. A great dog act where the dog does little to nothing with a stone face that would put even Buster to shame.

Arthur Worsley which one is the Dummy? Including his famous Bottle of Beer bit. (that being a frasze thought impossible to pronounce for ventriloquists.

The Toto Brothers. A "balancing and iron jaw novelty act" from 1918.

Kruger and Ward the tall and short of it. A strongman dwarf and a floppy contortionist rubberman also from 1918 it must have been a good year for Vaudeville.

Borrah Minevitch & His Harmonica Rascals
