Francesco Caroli The King of Clowns


Francesco and his brothers are the legendary Caroli clowns. Shows which played host to their talents included Circus Knie in Switzerland, Cirque d'Hivere in Paris, and Circus Krone in Germany. In America, they performed more than fourteen different clown routines on the Ed Sullivan Show. When the death of one of his brothers put a sudden end to the world famous trio, Francesco took a teaching position at the State Circus School in France. In 1990, the director of Circus Roncalli made Francesco an offer he could not refuse. Francesco made a come-back to clowning at the grand old age of 70. He has been making audiences laugh with the Circus Roncalli in Germany ever since. This year Francesco celebrates his 60th year as a white face clown! Thay are the Best musical clowns i have ever seen stars to the circus world .

Rene Lavand like meeting a film star. Blackpool 2004


Artist Spotlight: Rene Lavand
Today I wanted to spotlight a magician that deserves recognition, but isn't too well known around the magic community. I met him in Blackpool 2004 at the magic convention it was like meeting a Film Star we had coffee and a chat just a true Gentleman in magic.René Lavand
is a magician from Argentina specialising in close-up performance. He has appeared in Ed Sullivan's and Johnny Carson's television shows as well as shows at the Magic Castle.After losing a hand at the age of 9 in a car crash, Lavand endured a gradual entry into the magic world, self-taught because, in his own words, all books and techniques are for two-handed magicians. After working as a cashier in a bank, at the age of 32 he appeared in Buenos Aires' Tabarís Theater, following which his career took off, leading to world tours. The catchphrase he uses to close several of his tricks is "No se puede hacer más lento" (Spanish for "it can't be done any slower"), referencing the intentional slow pace at which he performs. In between international tours, he resides in Tandil, Buenos Aires and has adapted a train wagon which he turned into a magic saloon where he teaches illusion. He also co-wrote ( with Richard Kaufman ) the book "Mysteries of my Life". The book is an autobiography as well as an instructional book on Rene's magic.
I have put you tube clips on right hand side of page for you all to see . mike

Konrad Thurano The Best Showman i have ever Met


Konrad Thurano died in 2007 at 98. He was still working until 97 years old. (Take a look at 'You Tube' at the bottom of this page.) I have put a 'You Tube' link on and I think he will blow you away. I met him in Germany when he was at the Roncalli Apollo Variety Theatre, working two shows a day, seven days a week. He was a true Star, born in 1909. May a Star showman rest in peace Konrad http://www.thuranos.de/home.htm
