Name: Eric Mulvaney and Carlton Ives
Title of Act: Equilibrists
Description of Act:
We are worthy balancers and gymnasts. We have trained for our act since we were children. We throw ourselves and each other around in a whirlwind fashion and hold one another overhead using feet or hands in various feats of balance and strength. We have a Victrola that plays vigorous music as we perform.
Other Talents: We are talented mechanics and work on motorcars on our off time. We can help repair vehicles for the outfit if needed.
Notes: Mssrs. Mulvaney and Ives are indeed worthy balancers and gymnasts. Rarely have I seen two men fling each other with such reckless abandon. At times, their act bordered on the murderous - it appeared as if the duo were trying to kill one another. This would be thrilling for an audience, if a trifle roughshod for the sprats. Their appears to be genuine animosity between the two, for in the interview process, they constantly bickered and sniped at one another. It makes me fear for the longevity of the act. The Packard the two drove was in fine fettle and purred like a kitten and the boot was loaded with wrenches and other mechanical tools. The two would certainly make a fine addition to the outfit, but perhaps separate coaches might be suggested, to give the two some respite from the company of one another.
