Mitchell, my circus performer best friend, has described to me, in detail, why the back flip of Cary Grant’s in the last scene of Holiday<\/i> is so unbelievable. Back flips are bread and butter to circus folk – but this one is extraordinary because of how he sees her approaching – while he is facing the floor mid-air<\/i> – and then – instead of landing on his feet – like most backflips end – he falls flat onto his body from a height of 3 feet in the air, the only cheat being his hands dropping, but it happens so fast it doesn’t come off as a cheat. Mitchell has never seen a back flip like it.<\/p>\n

He starts with a hand stand. Then he jumps back onto his feet and launches into his backflip from there.<\/p>\n
