2. stopping part way to set up a camera and take a picture
3. He also did it blindfolded
4. backwards
5. trundling a wheelbarrow
6. on stilts
7. carrying a man (his manager, Harry Colcord) on his back
8. sitting down midway while he cooked and ate an omelette (very French)

10. doing various backflips, somersaults and other gymnastic moves
