Cigar Box Flea Circus

Sven Svenson is possibly the youngest flea tamer in the World. He has been building flea circus’ with his father since 2000, and now you can buy a handmade traditional ‘humbug’ flea circus from his website.

Flea circus’ became popular in the 1600’s where ringleaders would tour them around pubs and fairgrounds. Falling out of favour this century the art of the flea circus has all but died out, and it’s great to see Sven rekindling the art.
