Double knee hang

From Silkworms

double knee hang:

split the fabrics, hang between them, then invert and hook both knees over one fabric above your hand. then let go of your hands, ha ha. this is actually possible, but takes skill and attention and also probably bare backs-of-knees (you need all the friction you can get). i have seen this hang demonstrated on the edge of a spread fabric rather than a single rolled-up fabric.
