Here are some tricks that aren't being done anymore. The Mystic Pixies do the running around the circle on chest. However, the three person pull from back bend is not done. It is only done with two people. The fact that they sing like the Andrew Sisters AND do acrobatics is unusual. It is usually either one or the other. So, they are new circus in feel and temperament. There are many acrobatic vaudeville tricks that used to be done by female acrobats or "close-benders," as they were called in vaudeville.
Illusions, changing walk-overs, swing-throughs, tinsicas, walking in splits and changing legs with each step (very difficult) and aerial forwards (or walk-overs) done in place is another great trick.
