The street show got interesting in a hurry. Two guys with unicycles were standing around a couple of sawed- off broom sticks and a bunch of big blocks about three feet wide. The guys started stacking the blocks on top of each other. Then they put pitchers of water on the top block, so as they stacked the blocks, the pitchers went higher and higher.

After stacking five blocks each on top of the other with a pitcher resting at the top, each guy picked up the fifteen-foot stack carefully and managed to get the broom stick underneath it and balance it. All I could think was, no way these guys could throw a unicycle into this mess.

Then I watched incredulously as they each picked up their teetering stacks and hopped on a unicycle.

Quite a few people had stopped to watch, and every- body was clapping when I spotted Bones across the crowd, holding his phone up for a photo, and moving straight into the act. Another Instagram opportunity for Bones— what else?

That was when one of the unicycle guys called out for a volunteer from the audience, and Bones walked right into the ring.
