Jack Bonavita
Posted By thecircusblog on December 13, 2009
In this photo you can barely see Jack. He is seated in the center of all these lions reading a newspaper. This trick is known as the “Old Armchair”, This is the first time I have ever seen this done and I have not ever seen any other trainer duplicate this trick. I would like to add that this picture has not been altered in any way. Jack Bonavita along with many other wild animal trainers worked in the Frank Bostock circus. Photo was taken in 1903.
