The perfomances

There were tigers jumping through hoops, bears that danced and did tricks, elephants, dancers, leaping afgan dogs and several other acts. The tight rope guy was jumping rope about 30 feet up and snapped a tension wire. He lost his balance and almost came falling to the ground in front of us. Luckily he caught his leg around the tightrope in the nick of time and kept balanced in a sitting position on the rope until the staff could refasten the tension rope back in place. It was a scary moment, but just added to the thrill of the show.
