Pyramids

My first tiger act approximately one year after I took it over from Lou Regan pictured above
My second act. Mary Ann, that is Ural on the far left, Sheba sitting up on the right. Bill Golden presenting
The last one. Mary Ann, from left to right on the pyramid, Karma sitting up, Ramsis on the end, Farah sitting up, Krishna stretching, Sheva stretching, Darsha sitting up, King on the end, Natari sitting up to my right out of the picture. In front stretching Demetrious, Diego, Bahar sitting up, Shaman stretching, Sparticus stretching, and Prince. It was King and Princes first show, and I put Bahar in the middle for the first time during the show. You will note Diego wanting to have a go at him, and Shaman on the other side saying, "what the heck are you doing here." He normally sat on the right end. I had 14 places, as I had taken out the "traditional" top of the pyramid in a effort at something different after 200 years. There were 15 tigers in the act, and after getting questioned over and over, that they weren't all on the pyramid, I compromised by putting Bahar on a low seat in the middle, and leaving Prince on his seat. I felt he needed a couple of shows under his belt. That is the double standard that I grew tired of. I have never liked pyramids, and Hawthorn had an act that worked for 15 years and had a pyramid in it for the first 2 years as it was difficult for the presenter to do big group tricks. It was expected of myself, and others so I trained something different.
