I think I've seen them before (not that vid) or might have been others. the balancing with one hand on his head was crazy though.. did you see the guy's face?
Not meaning to derail the thread or anything, just a side note, one of the 'similar videos' that comes up in the embedded player, was this, which I found pretty amazing too...

Haha, I gotta agree with Haemonculus here. The homophobia of some of you is pretty childish.
That was definitely crazy. I'm always incredibley impressed by gymnastic performances like that.
In fact, I find it even more impressive that those guys can do that when they're so muscular. I'd expect a pair of 90 pound girls to have it way easier putting on a routine like that.

Wow, the dude stood on the other dude shoulder to shoulder no arms. UPSIDE DOWN Then 1 handed stand on the guys neck? UPSIDE DOWN. Enough said.
Also, two chics doing this would be so hot if they weren't bulky. It definately was a little gay when the guy shoved his head in places a man's head shouldn't venture unless a lil kink is going on down.

I'm not defending the homophobia but it isn't completely natural for a guy to stick his head into another guys crotch fold and people to not have homophobic thoughts.
Head in another man's crotch = easily easily homoerotic situation.

In all fairness, if they were shabbily dressed, unwashed, and bearded, rather than near-naked in each others arms, wearing gold body-paint, and pressing each other's faces into their groins, I would have made hobophobic remarks.

This left me speechless, I didn't know that people were capable of such things.
This has to be the one most beautiful physical demonstrations of the human body I have ever seen. These men deserve an award for there stamna. There dedication to there art. There is nothing sexual about this act in my mind. They have displayed nothing but talent. Those of you who find it sexual. Perhaps a fulfilling sex life of your own would help you see this beautiful act in a different lite. WE know these men have not been sitting munching on fast foods being critical of others and there ways. They have been doing somethign with there life. They deserve all the success and monitary gains they get and more. They have dedicated years to pefecting this act, I would pay time and time again to see there routien.
I am appaled at some of the self centered narrow minded comments about this beautiful display of art and the human body.

Haha i'm very tired but finding the continued comments about the gayness of the video amusing. This video is very nice. The music and the gold paint lent it an interesting vibe. A little dramatic maybe but fairly enjoyable.
music theory is a tool which can help you to produce something that sounds good. it is not the essence of the music, and it is not a necessary tool

It looks kinda gay but its also totally necessary for their performance to work in slow mo. A lot of their moves requires balancing their weight against one another and if they move quickly it's unlikely they can counter each other's movement. The body paint, dim lighting, and music all adds to their performance. Nice bump, I hadn't seen this, and Welcome.

Well, most likely they're just freaks of nature, just like any top physical performer (except baseball players :X).
There you have it. It didn't come from the government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, minority pressure, carried the trick.

For some reason, the first thought that popped up after seeing the still from the video was Knocked Up.. the part where the two guys shroom it up and go see that circus performance.

Great performance. Anyone know what the music is? Their current run is with Cirque de Soleil, so the cd's from those shows may have the song.
Check out some of their old videos from when they were 11 and 12..... pretty impressive. Most brothers only play football together. http://www.alexisbrothers.com (they have two small downloads there)

Ironically, I had the Vangelis 1492 cd on my wish list a few years ago. I'll have to finally pick it up now. I have Vangelis - El Greco which is good too. About 20 years ago, Vangelis and Jon Anderson, of Yes, got together and cut an album called Short Stories. It was a very unique combo.

Absoloutely wonderful. That was a great performance to watch. I'd pay to see this for real.
And for all the gay notes: If you think somethings gay and you feel the urge to comment on it just to let the rest of us know you found it gay why are you the ones pondering if you should drop the soap or not?

These brothers are amazing! I checked out their website and saw those clips from when they were children, and they were amazing even then.
For the person inquiring about the music, it is "Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis, music from the movie, 1492 Conquest of Paradise, a movie which didn't get nearly all the acclaim it should have, I might add....

It's a chain mail. Think about the kinds of people who create, read and forward them. Think they'll differentiate between a youtube link and a thread with an embedded video? Probably started by some random guy who found it on Google.

damn I can't get over how strong their wrists are. For that one guy to lift the other straight up over his head, he locks his elbows and bends his wrists back to clench the other's hand...ugh it looks painful. My wrists hurt just from doing pushups with my hands flat, I gotta do em on my fists. I can't imagine how hard that must be X_X
there's nothing really homoerotic about it, seeing as they are brothers. Its a hell of a display of dedication to that act. Those two dudes are freaking crazy strong and coordinated.

Looks like diff performers, but yeah a very similar act.
Found the original video again on YouTube and updated the OP. From the comments: "They go by the name golden power and the performance was held at the National Circus Competition in Hungary. They are regular performers at the Budapest Circus. They are Hungarian " "They are apparently called Takacs Gyula and Olah Sandor."

rofl, some of the shit they do is so close;
The part in the start where he's lowering him to face: penis, while having a penis shoved in his face as well. Then later one guy lays on the other's back with his face all in his ass (especially while he moves around to position), then shortly after that he's firmly gripping his inner thighs/pelvic area. Then a bit later they stand face to face like they are gonna kiss.

I saw this act live recently in the DC area at National Harbour. It's part of the Cirque Du Soleil. When I saw them a month ago though, they had added a couple more moves to it that were crazy. The contorionists were also incredible. The best Cirque Du Soleil show I've seen was "Ka" in Vegas though. If you ever get the chance, do yourself a favor and see that show.
