But it was hard-boiled, and then he'd eat it.<br /><br />Finally he'd finish his act by juggling two plastic fake cannonballs and one real one; he'd already dropped the real one on the stage or a wooden platform so everyone knew it was real, and heavy, and solid, so everyone thought all three were real. <br /><br />Then he'd say he was going to bounce a cannonball off his head just like the egg- and then he'd actually DO IT! One of the fakes, of course- but some folks fainted, thinking it was real!<br /><br />And yes, he had arms like a man who juggled cannonballs. His name: Reg Bolton, with the Suitcase Circus. He reckoned the hard part was making the fake cannonballs look like they weighed 6 pounds each, like the real ones did!Eskymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947922645001422523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-38678260417379230712018-10-12T05:06:44.943-07:002018-10-12T05:06:44.943-07:00And hope there's nothing explosive inside.And hope there's nothing explosive inside.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
