i`m doing some research for an article i`m writing on the top 10 gimmicks of all time. if you have seen an act live or on video with an amazing gimmick or burlesque trickery, tell me about here Smile

i personally always like a girl who can twirl sparklers instead of tassles...

its hard to do & those little things get hot enough to scar tissue.

Stella had a go with sparklers recently but it was getting the darn things lit was the problem. A most awkward situation!

Julie Atlas doing burlesque inside that giant balloon was pretty wicked!

Anna Fur Laxis with her bible & flashing cross tassels was brilliant too.....

the classic is the girl in the glass surely... catherine d'lish and dita.
and finally al murray in the pint glass!

i was going to bring up my swinging saloon doors to LBF but dont think they'll fit backstage at madame jojos! might have to bring the fluffy dice instead! at least it doubles up as a seat on a crowded tube
