"He flies through the air with the greatest of ease
That daring young man on the flying trapeze...."
I had a site about trapeze artists, but I couldn't Edit,Copy the URL, dammit.
It was about Alfredo Codona and Lillian Lietzel. I remember at ten years old being humiliated to learn that Lietzel could chin herself ninety times ONE HANDED, when I had struggle to do it ten times with both hands.

Still can't copy URL. If interested, search for "circus trapeze Lietzel".
