flair bartending! Bronx Cheer

Bronx Cheer

Have you ever heard "flair bartending"? It's a rhythmical performance
using the bottle of the cocktail.

First, he performs a "Hand Balance". Which means he juggles the
bottle and then he puts it on the backside of his hand. Next, he puts
the bottle into the shaker which is called "Cup In". Finally, the
cocktail will be served to the audience.

He has 15 years of career as a bartender and 3 years of career in
flair bartending. He will be participating in the Japan cup of flair
bartending on the 4th of November.

He started this performance because he was influenced by the
movie "Cocktail". He usuallly trains after his work. These days he
trains all the time if possible. You can see his performance in
Bronx Cheer in Ryogae-cho in Shizuoka. Why don't you go their
and enjoy his cocktail!

Closest to the First Prize!?　N'Dux Malax

N'Dux Malax, the Ghana smiley three guys, have came to Shizuoka
for the first time. They are from the same area in Ghana and have
been together training for the circus since they were very young.

The show started with upbeat African music and dance. The beat
wouldn't stop and, in fact, it heated up more and more. With their
well trained flexible bodies, unbelievable performances came to the
scene one after another, like a human tower, various expressions
on their faces, and even putting a body on fire!

Actually, William, the person put the fire on his body says the taste
of fire is quite delicious. You see the show, I am sure you will be
completely blown over! This is the group will get the first prize!?

ガーナから日本上陸の人間タワー　エンダックス マラックス

静岡初上陸のアフリカンサーカス3人組、エンダックス マラックス。　
ノリノリのアフリカンミュージックと3人のあふれんばかりの笑顔で、こっちまで元気にさせてくれるパフォーマンスが楽しめる。柔軟な体を使って、1人を軸に、他の2人がバランスよく乗るパフォーマンスはまさに人間タワー！！
自国ガーナで儀式などの際に披露する、燃え盛る炎の上でのダンスや火種を口に入れる大技を見せてくれる。炎の上を踏んだり、飛んだり。3人の中で唯一火を食べるパフォーマンスをしてくれたウィリアム（29）は、「火の味は最高！！食べているときも最高！！」と火を食べるという未知の世界を教えてくれた。
静岡の印象を聞いてみると、「観客があたたかくてとてもよい。静岡のすべてが好き。」と、嬉しいコメント。
陽気な音楽と、柔軟な体からの驚くべき技、そしてアフリカの力強さを感じさせてくれるエンダックス マラックスのパフォーマンス！！一体感が味わえるパフォーマンスをぜひ見てほしい。

Performance with greatness "Trio Csaszar"

2005 World Champion has come back to Shizuoka! This year they'll
perform springboard acrobats again with a new member.

First, they juggled beautifully as if the club is a part of their body.
Then, they showed us humorous jokes involving audiences.
Sometimes they even let the audience try a bit.



They finished up the show with springboard acrobats.
Jump up, spin, and land on shoulders!!!
You'll be impressed by the new member's fantastic jump!
