The performer balances a cudgel on the head, the forehead or the nose, or holds it in the mouth and put fragile or heavy objects like lamp, vase, desk, bowl or egg, etc on one end of the cudgel to show his/her feat in balancing objects. In some complicated performances, several layers of glasses, lamps or eggs are placed on the cudgel.
