Find yourself a relatively light chair at first, it must be
lacking a person. It's best to start off with a cheap garden chair. Lift it
with both arms, feel the weight of it (Tip: if you can lift it above your
nipples then you can balance it on your face!)
Now you should give it a wipe, it's not fun getting a
woodlouse in your eye at the crucial moment of showing off. It is very
important to check the floor of obstacles and ensure that your shoelaces are
tied, or in fact take your shoes off - this is a bohemian act of social
defiance! Lift the chair up to face height, as if you're about to sacrifice a
virgin with a club.

Slowly focus on the top point of the chair and gently hold
the back of the chair upside-down on to your chin. It is easier to attempt this
if you do it in full daylight, for some reason having a dark sky above you is
rather disorientating.
Like this, but not on fire (Note: tacky white plastic chairs to the right)

Make sure you let go gently and that your chin is clean, if
the chair slips on teenage greasy skin sweat it's a nasty faceplant with
potential neck injuries. I'm being a bit hypocritical as the above picture is a
wooden chair on fire but I'd been practising for at least a two days before
that stunt.
As you let go it will be clear where the point of balance
lies, it feels great! Clearly don't try this if it's windy outside, and the
best thing to start off balancing is in fact a peacock feather on the tip of
your nose.
Use your chin for mildly heavy things and your forehead for
ridiculous objects like fire extinguishers or shopping trolleys. Below is a
video demonstrating a wide variety of objects you can have fun with.
Have fun, it's addictive!
