Reporter:

Michael: I perform in the evenings, but luckily I don't have to get up early. So in the mornings I sleep in, then practice on the stage for 45 minutes. I have to do a lot of exercise before each show.

Reporter:

Michael: Because it's like a dream of flying. When you do a great performance on the trapeze, it's an unbelievable feeling.

Reporter:

Michael: Working at such a high level every day. Sometimes I wake up with a stomachache, but I have to perform.

Reporter:

Michael: I need to be strong to deal with physical training. I mustn't be heavy, or my partner can't catch me easily. I can't be nervous when there are 5,000 people watching me.

Reporter:

Michael: I get paid per show and the amount depends on my contract(合同). Of course, I can get extra money for extra performances.
