There are several jaw-dropping moments in Cirque du Soleil's ECHO, and one of them consists of two performers spinning high above the stage by their HAIR. Does it hurt? Is it scary? What training is required? How do you build the trust necessary to pull off such an acrobatic feat every performance? Hair suspension artists Danira Quintanar and Penelope Elena explain to an astonished Adam Savage.
