A mystical curtain hung before a huge crowd at the Round Lake Library on Sunday, as people munched on their popcorn and imagined what a Pocket Circus was. |
|
Gabriela peeked around the side, and then the magic began! |
|
Spinning plates |
|
While doing acrobatics! |
|
The magic was contagious! |
|
Even a young man in the audience was spinning a plate on his finger |
|
Juan spun plates on a stick with just the tip of his finger |
|
And then his chin! |
|
That's a real ceramic plate, too. People tapped it with a metal stick so we could hear the clink-clink-clink. |
|
Some acrobatics included a flag show |
|
Gabriela and Juan doing acrobatics together |
|
Wow! |
|
Taking a bow for the roaring applause |
|
Woohoo! The hilarious show was amusing to all ages. |
|
Gabriela exhibited her prowess with the diablo |
|
Hat tricks! |
|
Juan sports a helmet with a basketball hoop to challenge audience members |
|
This young man missed and hit Juan in the arm |
|
But he rubbed it to make him feel better |
|
This woman missed, so she was given plastic glasses and another try, but she missed again -- note the ball flying over Juan's right arm |
|
Finally, on the third pair of glasses, and by far the biggest, she was able to get the ball through the hoop! |
|
Balloon animals for all the brave participants |
|
Ring tricks |
|
We saw Gabriela make dogs, a parrot and a swan out of balloons as souvenirs for the folks who participated |
|
Juan had to consult his book about something |
|
AHHHHH! |
|
The show just got better and better, and funnier and funnier |
|
Gabriela and Juan juggling |
|
This poor man opened his eyes to find himself in the middle of six pins flying in front of him and behind him |
|
He later said he could feel the air moving in front of his face |
|
Yay, he survived! |
|
A show for everyone |
|
Making friends |
|
Fans |
|
Gabriela and Juan put on the most hilarious performance, full of talent and magic, to the absolute delight of our lucky audience! We had no idea that a Pocket Circus could hold so much fun! |
