Training

The circus is really about training. Carefully trained bodies, be they animals or acrobats. They play their routines every night before us. The mastery exhibited (especially when they stumble) is practiced - and when you think about it, this practice is far from the disreputable circus of ruffians. They are not dangerous, they are trained to repeat a few tricks over and over for us.

These tricks, have evolved over the years into a language of expected moves. We watch for the variation and play on elephant moves.
