Franz Czeisler (also known as The Great Tihany, June 29, 1916 – March 2, 2016) was a Hungarian circus impresario and illusionist.[1]
Czeisler got his first job in the circus at the age of 12, feeding the animals.[2]
In 1953, Czeisler travelled to Brazil with his wife and son and purchased a big top, which he used to start a circus. This eventually became the Circus Tihany, named after a town on Lake Balaton, Hungary. Tihany Magic Circus toured every country in Central and South America for over 40 years.
