Mr. Nicolas has performed all around the world since he established his own distinctive style of handbalancing, blending it with dance and movement.
“Mr Nicolás has been inspired by several coaches, one of them being Liu Laoshi from China, a hand balancing coach who is very well recognised worldwide,” reported the reference book.
