Senior Citizen on a Bottle

I have no idea who this guy is, but his performance is impressive for his age. The youtube info only says that he's a performer in Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt. The video was uploaded in December 2006.

Forty-odd years ago, outside an all-night restaurant in Santa Clara California at 3:00 in the morning, I lost a $20 bet to a drunk who could barely stay in his seat at the restaurant, but who managed almost exactly the same performance. The guy told me afterwards that he was an 'equilibrist' who had performed feats of equilibrium (balancing on top of ladders, wire-walking, etc.) in the circus for over 20 years.
*Could* be the same guy...

If he really wanted to cause a sensation I'd like to see him get into the bottle.

Somehow he just doesn't fit into my mental image of a genie.

I was thinking more of those bonsai cats that were a sensation some time ago.

Impressive for a man half his age, amazing for a man his age!
