A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

And That’d be a Single-Point Resurrection Suspension


As suspensions become increasingly popular, almost ubiquitous, it’s becoming more difficult to execute a performance involving an act that involves something that has never been seen before. Now, I don’t know if this is the first time a single-point resurrection suspension has been done successfully, but hot holy damn, it is awfully impressive nonetheless. More shots of Damien, after the jump.

(Suspension performance by Hanged Man Team in Melbourne, Australia. Video of the suspension can be found on Hanged Man’s Facebook page, as well as on Piercing Pete’s IAM page.)

    That’s incredible..
    If you pinch the general area that it’s in you’ll find its a lot more comfy to the side, than the centre..
    But that’s just me pinching myself!

    This is great. I was actually wondering just this week if this could be done, now I know…something to add to the list for sure. Thanks Pete and Damien. Keep coming out with the good stuff.
