Everyone loves cirus and magic shows right? Brings out the kid in you. And of course it is a great family treat. I remember when I was young, my parents bringing me to such shows whenever they are in town and I love every moment of it. Just imagine all the fun things you can do in a circus and all the tricks done by the magicians. Fanastic. Now I try my best to bring my family if opportunity arises. Anyway if you live in Blackpool UK, you might want to check out Showzam. Not exactly a very big festival but good enough. It is actually an annual festival of circus, magic and "new variety". Basicallty you go there and you will be amazed by some of the performances and tricks done by the Showzam guys. If you have the time, this is definitely a great place for entertainment. You know, too much Facebook and Tweeter can get boring, so perhaps you should step out of your house and into something unique and interesting. If I read correctly, it is a 10 day festival held at The Olympia in the Winter Gardens. However they have other street performances as well. You can expect to see different performances like magic shows, workshops, circus acts like kinife throwing, monster shows, theatre, games, clowns, musical acts and so on. You will love it!

Master magician? Well if you are visiting Las Vegas and would like to get away from the gambling tables and poker games, you might want to check his show out. It is one of the longest running magician shows in Las Vegas, so you can be rest assured that the show has some quality at the very least. If not, they would probably have thrown Lanc Burton and his deck of cards out on the streets a long time ago. Anyway, Lance Burton is considered somewhat of a legend in Las Vegas and they have been raving about his shows for years. Las Vegas Journal-Review has awarded him "Best Magician" for 11 years in a row. So if you can get away from those 10 dollar chips and slot machines, go find out where he is doing his performances. Yes, he might look a bit old in real life but hey, who cares about real life. I want to be wooed, amazed and I want my mouth to be completely open during the entire show, with drooling flowing down the sides while I watch such shows. Card tricks, hand tricks, disappearing acts, daring escape acts and so on - they are all here. If you want to relax and have something great to tell your kids when you return from Las Vegas, this is the performance to go.
