acrobatic feats

Gymnastic tricks performed

Acrobatic feats are impressive physical maneuvers requiring exceptional agility, balance, and coordination—tumbling, flips, aerial stunts, and the like.

The phrase appears in descriptions of circus performers, gymnasts, and action sequences: The trapeze artist performed acrobatic feats high above the crowd.

Figuratively, any impressive display of dexterity or maneuvering: verbal acrobatic feats, acrobatic feats of logic.
