Circus Vargas Presents Magikaria

The days of animal tricks and clowns juggling 3 red rubber balls are long gone. Circus Vargas has all the flash and fun of a Vegas show, but is (of course) still family-friendly.
BalanceYes, they still have juggling, but be prepared for one amazing act! Believe me, this is not what your Grandmother would remember….this type of juggling could be considered an Olympic sport! Balls, hopes, fire- children and adults alike were enthralled with the creative and talented performance.Boxing
Humor has been infused with much of the show, and will make even the most jaded teenager crack a smile. The clowns are hilarious and “current” using music and the catch phrases of today, not the painted up, slightly scary, relics of the past. The performers are extremely interactive, both with the audience and each other, making us feel part of the family.
TrampolinesA personal favorite of mine are the trampolines. The incredibly talented (and very hot) Patrick Gable leads a crew of miscreants who have tagged up a tall wall much to the annoyance of local law enforcement. Unfortunately for the police officer, the tagging crew can easily flip and leap their way out of trouble, while the cop is sadly underskilled in this lively, hilarious, and still impressive performance.High flying
The high flying performances are still awe-inspiring. Whether they glide through the air on aerial silks or soar on a trapeze, the beauty of it is mystifying and the feeling is nearly indescribable. Combined with eye catching costumes, lighting, and music, you can’t help but be transfixed on their every movement.
LadderNew, unusual, death-defying, or just plain hilarious acts are being added all the time. Plus, the theme is “magic” so expect plenty of “wow” and “how did they do that?” moments. We’re not just talking card tricks  here guys, and I’d hate to be the spoiler alert, so just be prepared to be amazed. And don’t miss out on “Circus Vargas presents Magikaria!”
San Bernardino at the I-10 Freeway and Waterman Ave. from March 20 – 24
Ontario at Ontario Mills Mall from March 27 – April 7
Don’t forget to arrive thirty minutes early for an exciting, interactive pre-show where children (of all ages) can create Stephanietheir own magic under the big top! For more information about Circus Vargas and to purchase tickets visit www.circusvargas.com, by phone at 877-GOTFUN-1 (877-468-3861) or at the circus box office, which opens one day prior to the first show.

Our performers are dressed just like everyone else, leaving all of the guests to suspect who is a part of the show and who is not. In many instances, guests are seated with the performers and don't even realize it until they die....the performers, that is! Our Detectives proceed to interrogate everyone and find clues as more people die. At the end of the night, prizes are awarded to the Top Sleuth who solves the crime.
