Today is the day of a professional I adore: the circus artist!
Do you know what this professional does? I'll explain: all those people who work in the circus, like the clown, the magician, the tightrope walker, the juggler, the tamer, etc., are called circus artists.
This profession is awesome, but don't think it's just a joke, no. People who work in the circus have to rehearse and train a lot and devote all their time to work. It usually takes years for a circus artist to start performing.
