Karl-Iwanowitsch von Mekold, who advertised himself as a professor from Saint Petersburg, performed with his wife, also described as a Russian, who was wearing a military outfit, representing the goddess Minerva. The highlight of their show was von Mekold shooting at his wife, who survived the performance unharmed.
