Tightrope Walker Provides Dictionary Definition of Multitasking

Bounces soccer ball on foot, plays guitar all while balancing on tightrope.

If you happen to be visiting São Paulo, Brazil, and come across the sweet sounds of an acoustic guitar lilting through the air, it could be this fellow.

But if you run into him in person, you’d see him practicing… and bouncing a soccer ball on one foot… while standing on a tightrope.

The mysterious renaissance man, who goes by the stage name, Embaixadinhas, recorded the video back in 2015, so he’s probably balancing on his head by now.

Watch the original video above.
