Are flea circus acts real? Mimi Garneu's was. Here Mimi makes her tiny troupe run through the act on her desk. The world's smallest slave labor! The film shows a competing group, but you get the idea. I once tied a fly to a piece of thread and he few around in circles, but I felt it cruel and let him go. Fleas, however, get no pass. Creepy little chiggers. At least Mimi knew how to control her infestation. Mimi was a sword swallower too. To see more information about the Amazing Mimi Garneau, see the book project on her HERE
