Mary was definitely "the pretty one!"

But were they doing all of that without a net? Or is a net brought out but not shown on camera?

I've been watching most of the "Circus" episodes that I can find recently, and fairly closely, wondering what safety measures were being taken. And some of the stuff certainly doesn't seem to be done with nets. And a couple of times the stars are inside cages with lions and tigers (and videos on Youtube will show you what happens in circuses when big cats get peed off). The show certainly wouldn't be done like that these days - the insurance people would have a fit.
