  • Flying trapeze: Four pendulum-like swings, on two different levels, carry a team of perfectly synchronized aerialists 53 feet (16 m) above the stage.

Famous quotes containing the word acts:

    A man’s real and deep feelings are surely those which he acts upon when challenged, not those which, mellow-eyed and soft-voiced, he spouts in easy times.
    Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 13 (1962)

    This is that which we call Character,—a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I am the LORD, and I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. You shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has freed you from the burdens of the Egyptians.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 6:6,7.
