    nah, that’s not a danger moment, that’s showmanship.

    It’s a show and part of the thrill for the audience is the perception of danger, so the performer makes it look scary. Another thing is the audience has to think it’s difficult. Now these performers do this all day until it’s second nature, but then the audience doesn’t see the skill and practice in it. Hence they have to make it look difficult or the audience won’t appreciate it.

      I’m not entirely sure the skipping rope misstepped was showmanship there. I think he messed up. Music went off and stopped the whole thing.

      Maybe you are right, but I didn’t get that impression based on the show as a whole.
