Hello There! Glad you could make it here! I am Srinath, a graduate student at UC, Berkeley. I come from India, the mystical land of snake-charmers, magicians and various other religions. The picture above depicts the famous Indian Rope-trick. The performer makes a rope sway to the tune of the "pungee" (the instrument held in mouth). This has been recently shown to be a hoax. Infact its the tele-kinetic abilities of the monkey which accomplish this and has nothing to do with the performer.
