Obviously, what sinister Ring Master costume is complete without a lengthy, thin mustache? Make sure your own mask has one.

The Evil Acts

You may desire to be a knife thrower and ask your partner to dress up being a human target. The man might put on a white tunic and also black pants. Remember to buy rubber knives for the props!

The woman of the act will normally put on a short white dress which has already been torn due to the knives which apparently have been thrown at her. A small amount of artificial blood all around the holes within the fabric may help to complete the look. You may even wish to make it seem as though a few of the knives have already been impaled within her arms and legs. Additional props including a lengthy, blonde wig may go a long way to creating a convincing outfit.
