Ivan Doing Contortion Hoops

Posted By on September 30, 2008

Two hoops crossed though each other forming a small hole that I had to pass through. I didn’t like this trick either. Many was the time I would get stuck and Dad would have to lift me off the globe. There was always a laugh or two from the audience when my father would take his time untangling me from the hoops. This photo was taken 1951 at our home in El Monte,Calif.
