Other Circus Act suggestions? Well, it depends on what sort of circus you want to take more inspiration from.

European circuses tend to be more theme-driven and theatrical, with elements of opera and sometimes ballet. By the 20th century they also adopted the format of mixing circus acts with zoological exhibitions and sometimes freak shows.

Asian, particularly chinese, circuses put more focus on acrobatic skill in their acts.

American circuses tend to have acts that happen in a larger scale, with more ambitious performances not just of acrobatics, but also strength, or just daring stuff Jackass-style.

Personally, if you want ideas, just look at Cirque du Soleil, the ones whose estimated annual gain is over 810Million USD these days (and for good reason; Cirque du Soleil is fantastic).
