My first Circus was when I was about 6, we went to the Clyde-Beatty Circus, it was great, so much to take in. Out of all the acts I remember the clowns.
Here are some facts you might or might not know.
Never look back during a parade. (Some shows fined those who transgressed.)
Never sit on the ringcurb facing out.
Never whistle in the dressing room.
Peacock feathers are bad luck.
Accidents happen in threes.
Elephants must always have their trunks up in pictures.
Hair from the tail of an elephant is good luck. (Often made into rings or bracelets.)
