Al Conners
Posted By thecircusblog on August 31, 2008
Al’s act was one of a kind. He balanced on a wagon wheel, juggled clubs & hoops, and also did a table rock. A table rock is placing one table on top of the other till you reach…in his act….7 high. Then a chair would be balanced on two legs on top of the tables as Al on the chair and rocked to and fro till they would fall for an exciting ending. He joined the show, married Bertha had one son named James. I never have seen another Wagon Wheel act other than his. When I was a child on the circus, Al was one of my juggling teachers. Conners was Al’s his stage name. His legal name last was Covert.
