Title

Kingsley Archer dancing on broken bottles

Description

"Believe it or not, this man dances on broken bottles for a living. As if that isn't enough. Kingsley Archer takes up a handful of the splinters at each performance and rubs them over his face! Usually, a gasp goes up from the audience as they watch in sheer disbelief. But rarely does Archer cut himself and he explains why: "It's all mind over matter and the power of concentration." At 39-years-old, Archer is still a superb acrobat, also and he performs each Tuesday night at poolside at the Rose Hall Holiday Inn, Montego Bay, where he is pictured doing his thing, so to speak."
