* Episode 2 of ''[[Kaleido Star]]'' uses this when Sora preps herself to duplicate the "Golden Phoenix", a favorite trick of Layla Hamilton, one of her idols. She comes oh-so-close to pulling it off, perfecting the spin technique but missing the opposite trapeze bar by ''thatmuch''. Layla, who normally [[Suffers Newbies Poorly]], is impressed enough to allow Sora to stay with the Kaleido Stage crew. |
