The Amazingly Flexible Jonathan Burns
The weekend at the beach was very successful. I met a mix of interesting performers on the boardwalk of Ocean City and even got to catch up with some old favorites. Look for the photographs from that trip to show up in a few weeks.
It’s time for another entry from my good friend and fellow photog Steph. I heard a lot of good feedback from the last time she wrote so it’s a real treat to have her add her two cents and experience to this performer profile.
While the audience rumbled with gasps of disgust, I was filled with complete amazement at the unbelievable flexibility of Mr. Jonathan Burns. All I could think was, “This guy is like a rubber band in human form!”
After squeezing into a slightly-too-small red coverall, Jonathan Burns captivates his audience with feats of incredible flexibility. Jonathan’s awkward demeanor is entertaining, but misleading once you experience his talent and unique abilities.
To wrap up his show of bending, twisting, and contorting, Jonathan manages to squeeze his entire body through a toilet seat, known affectionately as “The Hoop of Destiny”…a very impressive, very uncomfortable, mind-boggling finale.
Great pic. This guy performed at Villa Julie once. He was amazing to watch.
