Chinese Acrobat Extend What is Humanly Possible
Can you believe this contortionist? I couldn't believe what these guys could do. Chinese Acrobatics is an ancient activity, practiced as a family sport to bring pride for the household. I've been on tour across America discovering amazing things so I'm documenting the coolest things I see.
Special Head Levitation
He is best known for his appearances on America’s Got Talent in 2013 /2014 and subsequent viral videos of his Levitation acts. His America's Got talent performances were viewed by more than 40 million people on YouTube alone!
The popularity amongst Children across America following my viral appearances really inspired me, That I've been given an opportunity to be a good roll model for kids. Thats a great reason to wake up in morning -Wolverton
My artistic Vision is greatly influenced by my upbringing in the Native American Peyote Way Church and the Baha'i Faith. I realized that 1,000 years ago all art, performance, music, and dance was done through spiritual inspiration. The original performances were ritual and Ceremony. It wasn't until the Renaissance that making a living through art became more widespread. Through my performances I intend to bring us back to an age of mysticism. Reminding people that performance is a ritual and that magic can be spiritual.
The Special Head show goes beyond a traditional magic show. Not only does Wolverton perform Music while simultaneously performing magic illusions, Wolverton also incorporates thought provoking theatrics into his many acts. Danny uses illusions to cause the viewer to question what it means to be human. His show is flexible and can be adapted to entertain many different age groups.
Wolverton first began his entertainment career street performing as a human statue. And Danny continues to use the chaotic stage that is the street in his internet TV series. In the Special Head Show Wolverton acts as a host to a travel show adventures, and hidden camera practical Jokes on the street in different places around America.
Wolverton's performances have been featured in many well known shows including America's Got Talent, Beacher's Mad House MGM Las Vegas, The CD release parties's of Miley Cyrus, and Paris Hilton, Good Day New York, The documentary “Spark: A Burning Man Story Tengo Talento Mucho Talento, Das Super Talent, and The Matthew Silver Show.

“I can’t say enough about Special Head and his levitation act. Not only was his illusion incredible, but it was like looking in the mirror. And I realized walking away from last night’s show that I, too, have a special head!” — Howie Mandel, Parade
Special Head Has a Surprising Talent. What I love about the show it's fun for the whole family. for the first time in the show's history last night Howard put the x up as in go home, and then took it down. I though that was fantastic, the Floating Man!

I made a big mistake and I failed at Levitation. I went to Wilmington North Carolina to perform at the Port City Ribfest. It seem like a good idea when someone suggested I perform in the wrestling ring with pro wrestlers fighting me. As you can see it turned out to be a very bad idea. The most important thing is for you to be able to prize your shortcomings as funny humorous learning lessons. But I was redeemed because my uncle also lives in Wilmington North Carolina took me for a flying lesson and his airplane.
I want you to question reality so I'll let you figure out for yourself how this is done. Weather you boast conclusion is a test of humility.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
