Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
The "bundle" high right is a long length of shock cord wrapped many times between 2 triangles that added flexible tension to the side speaders of the flying net to allow some bounce to the net's bed In later years the Gaonas used a firmer version to give Tito a tramp like effect for many returns to the catch trap after the others came down A real crowd pleaser
Ah, it never occured to me that the Gaonas were using a different sort of net. It was a great crowd pleaser- I still smile when I think of my father and I breaking into laughter when he did it.
The shorter lady on the left sure looks like Millie Ward. Can someone confirm this?
