When I saw it 7 minutes and 34 seconds but their was one trick let ou because Hans momently haves problems with Tibet (snowwithe) and Delhi. It's a good beautiful act with reverse jump over, leap frog (let out), roll over, sit up, cage stand and walzig. I saw the act four times one time when it was in training in 2004 with Flavio, 2 times at A. gruss and 1 time at Hiver bouglione. The tigers momently in the act are tibet, delhi ad sumina.

To answer another interpretation of your question, the season at d'Hiver lasts until the end of feb or start of March. And I shall be there at the end of this week!
Wade and Casey got a question? Y'all know a Marcus Cook? I think Casey got Tora from him? Anyway the AG is going after him for some problems? All over the Dallas news today.
Wade,
if you intend the show, it lasts about 2 hours and half included intermission.
I'll be to the show on Jan 27, and sharing a loge box with your friend Dominique Jando...
To Circuslover: congratulations for your knowledge and description of that tiger act.
Gary,
I did get Tora from him. I read the articles yesterday. Doesn't look good for the company.
Gary,
The only Cook I knew was a Mark Cook not Marcus. He worked at Bear Country USA in Rapid City South Dakota, and before that at a sea life park in Rapid City. I heard years ago he was training parrots for sale to the pet market. Don't know if they are the same fellow.

Raffaele,
He is getting smarter about it but he still has aways to go. He still thinks MC means an act is a big deal. LOL He is a good youngster eager for knowledge.
Wade
Raffaele,
I have nothing personal against Mr. Jando. If you recall I like everyone else met him about a year ago on Buckles blog, when he made a comment about a European tiger trainer from long ago, and people asked "who is this guy" and Buckles said, "they used to have a skit on Big Apple called "what does Jando do". I took offense to his insinuation that Americans were not sophisticated and cultured because we like the "wow" and big of circus acts(take note Mary Ann), and did not appreciate the "art" like the European circus. Forgetting that it is small in Europe, and closer together, and more economical to move smaller shows smaller distances. It was surely nothing personal, so please give him my best wishes.

Dominique Jando, a keen critic of circus acts, once told me that Gilbert Houcke was the greatest tiger triner of all time.

Mr. Reynold,
Who is Dominique Jando? What did he do? I have never heard that name before. Thank you.

Mr. Burck, Dominique Jando was originally a well regarded clown in Europe.

I am surprised that Mr. Reynolds would even suggest that the remark of Mr. Jando in regard to Mr. Houcke could be recognized at having any clai8m whatsoever as to his rating among wilod animal trainers, and I would suggest the this remark by a former clown would leave alo0t to be desired for in depth comprehension, and of course I wonder how aware Mr. Jando of America's contribution to the field over the ye3ars from both import and home grown trainers. I have been in the trenches of circus and quite aware of its goings on for some seventy years and I never heard of Mr. Jando being a highly recogtnized critic of the animal t5raining art5s.

if i were looking for an expert to name the best circus tiger trainer of all time, i'm sorry, i would ask another tiger trainer. or at least another animal trainer because i believe only an animal trainer would be qualified to voice an opinion like this.
after what we've learned about the monte carlo awards, i question european experts more than ever. Does this quy have any credentials in tiger training or breeding?

Whew! - -I did not mean to stir up so much controversy.
Lest he dismissed too quickly with a “what can that French clown possibly know,” I should point out that Jando was a co-founder of France’s first professional circus school and a co-founder of the Paris circus arts competition. He spent 19 years as the associate artistic director of the Big Apple Circus. So, he would appear to have some bona fides in judging the quality of this or that circus act.
When he expressed his Gilbert Houcke opinion to me he was with the Big Apple. I only know him casually but he came across as a man of definite opinions. He projected the sort of personality I associate with theater critics. Buckles knows him well.

Thank you Mr. Reynolds for mentioning who Dominique Jando is.
I found him to be very knowledgable in the circus arts, being able to discern the difference between fluff and substance.
Buckles said...
Every year with Big Apple we had the customary "end of the season party" at which some acts were lampooned by other performers.
My favorite was a skit called "What does Jando do?".
