at the circus

This occurred a long time ago, when I was a child. There was an act in which an unsecured man swayed back and forth on a very high, thin, steel pole until he had it bending down to within about twenty feet of the audience. He hung on with his bare hands, and it was quite thrilling to my young eyes. I had seen it on TV several times, but seeing it in person took my breath away. We're probably talking aroung 1954 or '55. It weas a real three-ring circus, so the elephants were performing at the same time. I can remember it as though it was yesterday.
