Contortionists never cease to amaze. Contortion is the act of twisting and bending your body into absolutely insane shapes that people don’t naturally bend into. It is one of the most difficult and honestly mind blowing arts there is today. Seeing someone tie themselves into an actual knot, or be able to scratch their head upside down with their feet, is surely a sight to see. Not only is contortion extremely hard, it is dangerous as well. Moves such as the Marinelli bend can end in serious injury and sometimes even fatal injury. Get ready to be grossed out and amazed at the same time. Here are 20 contortionists that prove some people don’t have bones.
