Michael Grab must have a deep sense of balance.

But now, watch Grab make a design like this, from scratch, in three and a half minutes.

I have done rock piles where I am "simply" trying to stack rocks as solidly as possible. Grab seems to relish the challenge of piling rocks in such a way that each one touches the rock beneath on a single point or line:

Awe-inspiring dance

I will confess I am not normally a fan of ballet, but . . . sometimes . . .

Maybe this one will bring a gasp to your mouth or a tear to your eye.

How do you do an en pointe while standing on someone's shoulder? Or on his head? And a pirouette in the same position?!?

I would hate to be the woman in this dance. Although I would hate to be the man, too. If he made one false move, could he live with himself?
