Ancient and Modern
Then came an unusual act entitled Ancient and Modern, at Blackpool Tower Circus. In this Van Buren and Greta acted as old magicians who were constantly interrupted by a young whizz kid illusionist, their son Andrew, on roller skates, unicycle and finally a motorbike—but the old performers finally got the upper hand by making rider and motorcycle vanish completely.

Famous quotes related to ancient and modern:
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
