20 Years on: Eva Garcia's Life and death in the circus

"If I still had the wire-walking act nowadays, I would present more and wouldn't do as many hard tricks. You still have to have good tricks, but these days you don't have to kill yourself."

- Eva Garcia in her last interview, with Circus Mania author Douglas McPherson, just days before she

fell to her death during

a show at the Great Yarmouth Hippodrome.
