Club Obi Wan

I was just wondering, Did David supply Whips to the Circus way back in the day? He pioneered the Aussie Style w/ American Right? He has had to be the top supplier of Bullwhips for the past 20-30 years to movies and other right? Is there any information on who all he supplied to? He made whips for over 50 years right? Anyone n
know? Please share where I could get a history other then calling/contacting David or his son myself. Merry Christmas. -Blake

Blake,

From what I know about how Ringling currently works, most of the specialty acts secure their own props. So a whip that ended up in a Ringling show probably wouldn't have been bought by Ringling.

The whips currently in the Ringling Gold Tour aren't from David. Here are a couple of cell phone pics of the whip act in the Gold Tour: http://bullwhips.org/?p=6517
