One of the great and clever tricks that sure wowed audiences! This one image of Charly connotes the wonder of his act (a photo of the mirrored ball might be the other image that would show the act's great beauty). Anyone know how he every happened on to this and if any others have every done it?
Once again, Eric, its nice to see such a thorough documentation of this show.

I remember Charly complaining after a meeting with Irvin - 'He wants MORE tigers in the roll over!' (He WAS laughing when he said it - and then added another tiger to the roll over.) ~frank
