EIGHTEEN-INCH PACKING CASE HOLDS CONTORTIONIST (Jan, 1929)
EIGHTEEN-INCH PACKING CASE HOLDS CONTORTIONIST
CAN YOU wedge yourself into a packing case only a foot and a half square? The feat sounds impossible, but it is only an incident in the day’s work for a Berlin contortionist. The photograph shows him tied into a knot inside his narrow quarters, with his assistant looking on. Just how comfortable his position may be, is open to question, but it is at least certain that there is very little space inside the box that is not occupied by the actor. According to the contortionist, there’s nothing to the feat. He’s the ideal type of renter for a kitchenette apartment.
who is that contortionist? any more information? any more contortion info?
His assistant is Princess Leia. He’s not a contortionist. She is just a compulsive packer. Just never knows what to bring on an overnight trip.
She did not really ask the genie for a a guy IN an 18-inch package….
What she REALLY asked for was a 10-inch pianist . . . .
