A two-player trust exercise in which partners balance a broom handle between their palms using only pressure, with one leading and the other following without letting the stick fall.
Two players are involved in this exercise. A broom handle is also required. At each end of the stick a player stands and presses the palm of the flat hand facing the other player against the stick, which is initially roughly horizontal. The stick must (never) be grabbed or gripped. A lasting connection between the two players, without the stick falling down, therefore exists only if both apply enough pressure to the stick. One of the two is the leader, who walks, moves, and pushes the stick along. They may also contort themselves, stop, use any height between floor and ceiling that is available to them, and so on. The other one, the "driven" player, has to react constantly, that is, in every situation apply counter-pressure by balancing the movements or going along with them, since the task is, despite all the constant movement, not to let the stick fall down.
