Jeffrey Ford's "The Way He Does It": A stunt man?

Good thing about this little piece of fantasy is - it keeps you anticipating a revelation till end. Bad thing is - there is no revelation! I felt a bit cheated at end.

Story summary.
Story is about the life of a man, & a very special skill he has (some kind of body twisting). We are never given the identity of the man, or told anything specific about his skill. Only, it's a difficult to learn skill - many have died trying to learn it. Crowds get excited viewing it. And it enables him to kill someone easily!

Sounded like a milder & suspenseful version of Mike in Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land".
