His speciality was balancing on stacked chairs atop of masts over 35 meters tall. He performed without any form of safety provisions or nets, not wanting to detract from the audience's experience.
He performed all over the world, performing in the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics in Helsinki in 1952.
Tell Teigen was engaged by the circus Ringling Brothers in the US.
He performed the first one-man show at Madison
