How to Nose-Balance Almost Everything

Have you ever considered the possibility that your nose isn’t there just for breathing? Don’t limit yourself, use it in every possible way.  Let’s see, why not trying to balance stuff with it and get yourself a new talent while you are an it. It is easy and besides, it will only take you five minutes to learn how if you just read ahead. The real trick here is mastering the talent, but let’s have a look, shall we?

The first thing you have to do is choose the object you are going to show off with. It is of vital importance to choose the right object for the desired effect. For example, if you are about to present your act to a large audience, a long and big object would be appropriate for the occasion. The larger the object, the easier it is to balance, and the shorter it is, the harder it is. This is a basic fact when learning to balance things because you don’t want to begin your learning with a small object, for it will be almost impossible to complete your act. It is said that the best object to practice with is a large, thin object like a broom or a tennis racquet. A ball is also a popular choice.

Now that you have the material, focus on the position and movement. The object should be positioned on the tip of your nose. Let’s say that it has a better grip and control there. The position of the material is not as important as the posture of the body. The way the body looks is as follows; Head facing sky, straight shoulders, legs slightly spread open and knees bent. This is the base position to begin with.

Movement is probably the hardest part because it is where the equilibrium works. The whole idea is to keep the object as still as possible. It breaks down only to move the neck, waist, and knees the way the object moves to counteract the gravity effect. Thought you were never going to use physics, huh?

These three basic points explained before, come together to resume a series of words: practice, practice, PRACTICE. Now that you know what to do, you better not waste a second. Start developing this easy to achieve talent. Good luck.
