WHIP ARTIST
When a bullwhip cracks it is traveling at over 750 mph. The tip
of the whip is in fact breaking the sound barrier by ripping through the
air creating a vacuum. Air then rushes in to fill that vacuum. This creates
a noise known as a sonic boom. That is the loud bang you hear. Moving at
that speed the whip has enough power to tear apart flesh and even break
bone.
The whip has a history as old as man, early hieroglyphics depict rulers
with whips, however these whips were only used for punishment. The bullwhip
was created to herd cattle by noise. (Note: the whip is never supposed
to touch the animal, only scare them with the sound.)
Dai Andrews displays amazing skill with a bullwhip.
Watch demonstrations in whip cracking and the art of target taking with
a whip. Dai will actually hit targets held in the hands of members of the
audience. You will see many beautiful flourishes with the whip, as well
as a demonstration of its power by slicing open tin cans. The performance
concludes with the ultimate display of dexterity and skill, Dai will take
the flame off a lit candle with out disturbing the candle itself!!!
