But even that's not too much for 3 guys to lug. An illusion show had to transport a lot more than that. And I also don't believe language was a barrier for HH. Notice he preferred to perform in language familiar countries like Britain, Australia, and the German/Bavarian locales. The only difficulties were France and Russia.

Before that he toured as a self-contained act. So he only had to transport his USD and other props like maybe his Metamorphosis trunk.Leo Heviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990057178465581105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-26013707433605472642018-09-16T08:49:31.483-07:002018-09-16T08:49:31.483-07:00Ha!Ha!Tom and Johanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01133250855806942658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-67769865142126829522018-09-16T08:26:11.240-07:002018-09-16T08:26:11.240-07:00He really worked non-stop.
