Circus performers often have to do some risky stunts. Learn about 10 of the most dangerous circus acts performed today at HowStuffWorks.
View On Black and LARGE During the late 1800's and early 1900's, large, exciting circus parades, some up to 2 miles in length, were held in towns across the US. Whole towns watched as floats filled with costumed performers and brightly painted bandwagons with musicians led the way to the big top. The wagons were drawn by hundreds of horses, and sometimes zebras and camels. A calliope is a large musical instrument with steam driven whistles played with a keyboard like an organ. Valves moved by steam from a boiler in the wagon created the wailing sound of the calliope. The calliope wagons were always the last in the parade due to their dangerous nature--explosions could occur. Many wagons were richly decorated with carved wood, bright paint, gold leaf, and mirrors. They were great examples of American folk art. The carvings were designed to gain attention and impress the crowds. The wagon wheels had to be strong enough to carry these large vehicles for miles during parades. Many of the sunburst wheels were painted with beautiful colors and patterns around the 16 spokes so it would appear that the wagons were vivid swirls of color. This is one of many wagons to be seen in the John and Mable Ringling Circus Museum in Sarasota, Florida background information courtesy of the Circus Museum
