Circus World #9


This was hat "Major" wore while riding his tricycle.
Gary would send him off from stage left while the cat arena was being disassembled and "Major" would travel unaccompanied until I received him off stage right.
Had a nice effect.

Buckles, any photos of him riding the tricycle? Only saw this trick performed once on Krone in 1969, I believe. When have you seen this trick presented and by whom and about when? Thanks much!

Buckles and Dick, my mind sure ain't what it used to be, but didn't you present this trick on BAC some years back?

I believe Cuneo's baby male
Nic ride a trike, presented by Tom Thomson.

Ryan: I believe you are right, when Nic was a punk, but he has not been performing for some time to my knowledge.
Got a request from some outfit in Australia wanting my permission to use two of my photos of Nic in a book (NOT pro circus animals from what I have learned) they're coming out with.
I told them NO.
