in Acrobatics The sensations experienced by circus artist when perched 80 fect high above the audience were recently revealed by Bon, the daring young aerial artist whose act is one of the highlights of the Olympic Circus.
"It's not so difficult, once you have learnt how to take it," he stated. "The main thing is that you must novi lose control, even far a second. Steady nerves are what counts the most when performing my act. The actual feats of strength and skill are not important as the unfailing vigilance which I must watch each move. Even while doing my rapid somersaults on the swing I have to keep every sense alert, knowing that if T slip just once it will be the las: mistake of my life."
From this frank statement one may well judge Bon to be a person of unassuming characteristics; although he is able to perform acts which make an audience of four thousand catch their breaths he regards it as just part of his daily routine.
