Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
This is a repainted rehash of Elvin's little aluminum cannon from Circus Circus that I worked on & cabled it to beams 10 ft above a false ceiling that was of the most difficult rigging I had ever done
This is at Jimmy Cole's house in residential St. Cloud, FL. Imagine what the neighbors must have thought!
Why was it there Patricia Do you know who owns this baby cannon now as Susan Bale ended up with it in the divorce & I thought Jody Jordan was buying it
At Circus Circus this cannon was controlled remotely quite a distance from where it was suspended using an umbilical cable with hydraulic lines to the custom control desk that I built to contain not only the hydraulic pump but audio video & a major blast device
This was several years ago, I believe Brian Miser had this cannon and he and Jimmy are friends. I guess Brian had some layover time, and decided to incorporate a friendly visit with practice.
Thanks Patricia Very nice paint job & they copied the lightning streak
At Circus Circus Joanna jumped into Gaona's net
