Dave and Nancy Linden took their talent everywhere. The last time I heard from them they had just finished doing half-time performances with the Globetrotters.

I never saw their outdoor act but from these photos it must have been spectacular. Their indoor act which I did see was a very powerful act. The name of the trick in this photo is a “back angel.” One a still trapeze, it is a relatively simple trick but when you are moving on a high rigging, […]

Mr. Marcan displaying great showmanship.The horse was named King and the tiger Sultan. I want to thank Wade Burk for naming the pictures for me. Josip Marcan became one of the greatest trainers of his generation. He still lives in the USA.
