My observation is that students of circus today want to re-invent the wheel, at least in America. They "guess" and do an act without realizing that years ago there already were people doing the same act. This was true of two young men who tried to do an act with one person on roller-skates and the other on those athletic shoes with wheels in the heels. They did not do anything interesting or difficult. It was as if just wearing the wheels was enough. Well, it wasn't. There was no build to the act, no finish trick and no entrance, nor exit. The audience, made up of parents and friends, was kind. However, the applause was sparse. No one seems willing to listen either. No one seems to care what someone who has seen a lot observes.
And elephants cannot paint pictures!
