Unusual Circus Acts - The Fabulous Turban Brothers
The world renowned brothers act consisted of two of them parachuting from a small plane piloted by the older brother Wolfgang - over the big top and landing through a hole just big enough for them to enter the circus ring as the finale to the show. The aim was to land on a large ceramic pot filled with giant lugs and snails. This death defying act was abandoned in 1934 when Klaus, the youngest brother, landed on the audience and several were hospitalised. Two of the brothers were chased several miles until they were arrested by police and locked up for their own safety. Freed on bail they vanished and were never seen again.
