Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
Most of these stacks seem to have rolling cylinders in perpendicular directions
Can have many rola’s in vertical directions but only two in a perpendicular direction. My first act was on the rola rola when I was eleven, before I discovered juggling. Graham
After seeing these stacked elements here, I have to be curious--do any of these interlock, to reduce or prevent motion that would collapse the trick?I ask because I'm not safe on my WalMart step stool.
Nope none have ever been in any real circus act I've built quite a few but would never try it
Roger, I use to have grooves cut into the boards and Rolas to help keep them from slipping. I also have them at the bottom of my Zimmer frame legs. Works well.
I have built many sets with from 2 to 7 cylinders & some of them highly polished aluminum looking like chrome finish but boards mostly had some nonskid surface Some performers added nonskid tape to the ends of the cylinders What's a Zimmer Frame Graham Sounds like an illusion prop
Actually I meant from 1 to 7 cylinders I never built any with just 2 but I guess there could be
I just learned that a Zimmer Frame is what the Brits call a walker for old folks like me & I know that my hip joint hardware was from Zimmer Sorry that you need 1 Graham
I was thinking of an Asrah Frame
