What is a flea circus?
Fleas are a curse for warm-blooded animals, latching onto mammals of all types and spreading pain with tiny flea bites. But they do have one redeeming quality — they make excellent circus performers. That's correct. Flea circuses with live, performing fleas really exist, but their numbers are rapidly declining. There are certainly a lot of reaons for this state of affairs. But suffice to say that as hygiene and domestic cleanliness has improved over the centuries, people have become a little more hesitant to hang out with fleas voluntarily.
Fleas, when handled properly, are wonderful public performers, well adapted to life under the big top — or, more appropriately, the little top. All a flea circus master needs is some perseverance, human creativity, and a few fleas with above-average strength and speed.
The flea circus is a one-of-a-kind kind of entertainment in which fleas feature in a miniature circus show. These small insects are housed in a glass tank with various props and accessories. The fleas pretend to execute incredible feats to delight an audience under the command of a human ringleader. This can include tightrope walking, kicking a ball across the tank, pushing wheeled carts, or any number of other feats. While the flea circus was popular in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, few of these acts have survived to the present day.

This flea circus of the twenty-first century hinges on how well the comedian uses his power of suggestion to trick the audience into believing the fleas are actually doing the tricks. Fleas are not actually involved in the supposed acts in any manner. This type of presentation is commonly referred to as a 'humbug act' due to the entertainer's deception. Want to know if Professor Murat is going to clear the auditions by bringing fleas to the Season 17 auditions of 'America's Got Talent'? Then watch NBC on Tuesday at 8 pm.
