: Hand balancing on canes According to http://legendarystrength.com/hand-balancing-stands/ "[canes] actually make balancing easier while giving the appearance of more difficulty". Is that true?

I haven't done any of those exercises; however, based on the design of the canes, it seems very plausible that balancing will be easier.
From observation, the base of the cane is much wider than the height ( or human palms); as a result, it provides a solid balancing base for the user.
Equally important is the width of the cane's top; the design is flat and as wide as a human palm, which makes it easy to balance onto.
The only two concerns are

The metal frame must be strong enough to handle the user's weight.
The user's height is further increased, which might be inconvenient for some people.

If these concerns are addressed, I don't see any reason why balancing shouldn't be easier with the cane.
