This is an odd bit from the old Ed Sullivan Show, back in the days of early television one of the best places to see variety acts. If you think all partner balancing acts are the same, you might appreciate how the Maxwells underplay this one to comic effect. Not big belly laughs, but some nice subtle humor. I especially love the ending!
