Performers at the Magic Circus Festival are delighting audiences with gravity-defying leaps and tricks.

The circus, set up at Manoel Island, consists of artists from all over the world, including motorbike stunt men from Brazil, trapeze artists from Bulgaria and jugglers from Russia.

From the start of the show, it’s a magical journey through the life of these artists, particularly the clown, who always aspired to be a great illusionist and magician but could never succeed.

He tried it all but his morale is playfully cut down by the main show presenter.

One of the most anticipated acts is the illusionist known as Lord Nil.

How can you put a woman in an elevated box, insert burning knives through the box and make the woman disappear? Lord Nil succeeds and also succeeds in taking the audience’s breath away.

A standing ovation for the final act is a must.

Lord Nil and the clown will teach you that in life everything is possible if you just believe in yourself – a unique lesson for our little ones.
