Circus.
To most it means a traveling fair with fun and games for fillies and colts, mares and stallions alike. A place to marvel at fantastic feats of balance, strength and wit. A time to be enraptured by cascading light shows, dazzling illusions and hilarious clowns. Whenever a circus is in town, each and every pony will want to be there.
However, there are a few to which ”The Circus” means something else entirely. After all, not everypony can be as virtuous as the princesses. Sometimes, you just have to accept that dirty tricks are necessary in order to have your way. For ponies who are willing to act upon such urges, there is The Circus. A rival needs to be taken down a notch? Call The Circus. Missing a painting for your collection? The Circus is on it.
Questions are rising. Why did they strike against Coco Pommel? Who would want to steal from Celestia? Just what is The Circus after? And, most important, who are they?
Don’t stop, don’t hesitate. The Canterlot Caper has begun.
Can you figure out who is hiding behind the "other" tag?

I've really been enjoying this story, especially this chapter. I love how the action ramps up here and we are starting to get an idea of who is who in The Circus.
I really want to know who The Equilibrist is though, probably more than the others since I at least have guesses for the rest of them...except for The Equilibrist.
I love reading this line out loud, because it is so in character with The Clown once we find out who she really is and I can't read it without trying to mimic her voice.
Does Trixie appear in this story?
I feel like The Clown is Cloudchaser or Flitter. It may be just me..
7134447 That could be true... or maybe not.
Not a bad guess though. I hope you find this enjoyable.
That law also exist here in the Netherlands. Now I wonder which Monarchy did it 1st. ^^;
Very interesting so far. Can't wait to keep reading.
That ending though..
I think the Wizard is Filthy Rich, no?
