Some years back I was Technical

Director of a circus in Lima Peru

that had a similar fantastic act

of casting & flying from North Korea

that we could never see here

For a time at least, the North Korean act was on YouTube. I was amazed, first that they had this act, then that with their national imposition of starvation, that anyone had the physical resources to achieve it.

Although they were under tight

security control they were very

friendly & appreciative of my

help & generosity with special

hardware I had brought & gave

to them at the show's close

They are very well treated as

well as well fed & housed as

long as they performed well

enough to generate financial

remuneration for the party

They have an incredible

circus training facility

in PyongYang where they

also give performances

to the ruling class as

well as wealthy tourists

The elder gentleman who

ran the whole operation

invited me to visit but

clearly is not possible

I was invited to dinner

at their North Korean

Embassy which I attended

A little spooky but fun

I was happy to return

to my hotel that night

They don't see ShowBums

from the USA very often

so I was a celebrity
