Mario Espana Wheel of Death

4th generation circus performer, born in Altoona PA. Trained at a very young age by his father Martin Espana, a respected circus performer and producer, Mario displayed exceptional aerial awareness for the flying trapeze and trampoline. Once he reached his teen years, Mario readily demonstrated further abilities performing the Wheel of Death, Extreme Swing, and Sky Bike. Even though he excelled in these acts, which require considerable skill, Mario’s true talent began to shine when people noticed how those around him always appeared to crack a smile—surprising family, friends, and audience members with impromptu humor and funny twists. Eventually, Mario’s natural inclination to want to make others laugh led him to hone this quality and try comedy. Today, one of his greatest passions is to encourage people to hold their breath as their excitement mounts and then conclude in tears of laughter. Mario has performed for countless audiences around the Globe—establishing himself in the entertainment world as a well-rounded and versatile performer!
