Zippo's Circus
It was supposed to be quite good, so I went with Rylan. It was so much better than I was expecting. It was a proper professional one, they had hand-picked the performers from various state circuses. Quite funny seeing how not one of the performers was English.
Very good trick involving a litten up puppet. THey dimmed the lights and a man came out dressed in black with a luminated face mask on. He started moving the puppet using strings - you could see him twisting the sticks. Then he threw it up and the litten up puppet - which was a bird, 'flew' off, away from the strings.
Some very good stuff with these big pieces of rope that were spun around on these two people's hand, they did it so fast and did cartwheels etc at the dame time.
The Clowns were funny, even if they had no little unicycles or elephants. They got a man down from the audience, tied him to a board, blindfolded him and then pretended to throw knives at him, cue sound effects and one of the clowns gently pressing them into the board at close range. It was funny, seeing the man think that he had had knives thrown very close to him, in one area in particular. He looked scared beforehand, and very relieved after.
Bloody over-priced food, mind. 1.50 for a small bottle of Pepsi. Didn't complain though.
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable performance, some great performers and it never got boring. Good value for money, and if you go and see it make sure you sit in the middle of a row, that way you don't get picked to gop up and get custard-pied or even worse, have knives 'thrown' at you.

aren't you meant to get older as the years go by?
Circuses scare me.
Nice :-)
There was one in Leeds but I couldn't be bothered going to it, I think it was the same one, "all star state circus" or something.
