Imperial, CA: Hello everybody! Here is the recording of the 11:30 AM Circus Imagination show at the California Mid-Winter Fair on Wednesday, March 7th 2012!
It was a very funny and busy show featuring Tina the Tight Rope Walker, Marco the amazing animal trainer and his troop of wild lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants… The acrobat Champagne Sisters from Paris, France, The Butterfly Ballerinas and Clarence the Clown, Dead Eye McBang our Cowboy and even the incredible Zazel the Human Cannon Ball!
We did record this show in HD but unfortunately our internet connection at the moment doesn’t allow us to upload it in high quality. But this video will be available in HD after March 14th on our youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/CircusImagination) So… if you were part of the show and want to save this memory, check back in a week, then you’ll be able to download this video for FREE in High Definition so you can watch it in your TV as many times as you want!

Ask not what fun does for you.
Ask rather what you do for fun!
Imperial, CA: Hello ladies and jellybeans! Circus Imagination is happy to be at our first fair of the 2012 season: California Mid-Winter Fair.
It has been breezy over here! A little too much yesterday… the 60mph winds and dust storms hit Imperial Valley hard, and the fair stayed closed on Tuesday as a safety precaution.
In the other hand, this morning it was a bright and early start! We had a great and busy 11:30 AM show for the School Tours and we will be posting the video recording from this presentation on our youtube page in HD soon!
We have had a chance to use some of our new costumes; they really bright up the scene! You can see better in the pictures above the new lions and tigers and the new Tina the Tight Rope Walker with the rainbow skirt! I’ll try to get clearer pictures and close-ups later this week of all the other new costumes!
We have two more shows today at 4:30PM & 6 PM! Same times for tomorrow’s shows (Thursday – March 8th).
Friday, March 9th: 4:30PM & 6:30PM.
Saturday, March 10th: 2:30PM, 4PM, 5:30PM & 7PM.
Sunday, March 11th: 2:30PM, 4:30PM & 6:30PM.
See you later alligator!

The Lion Transformation
Calistoga,CA: Hello everybody! Hope everything is going great for you guys in 2012! It’s time to update Circus Imagination! We are always improving little things here and there around the circus set, but this winter we have been 100% dedicated to making the circus more magical by making the costumes more believable, more colorful, fuzzier and cozier!
There’s just so much going on right now at the exciting Circus Imagination Factory that I don’t even know where to start! So I decided to take one improvement at a time and now you’ll see our new lion costume!
After many trips to stores like Jo Ann Fabrics and Micheal’s we finally decided on the fabrics and materials to use, the pattern is from Simplicity 8222, mascot costumes, which unfortunately is discontinued, but it can still be found online. The difficulty level I would say “lots of patience” and there’s a lot of hand sewing involved, but the results are definitely worth the trouble!
Oh I can’t wait to see the kids faces this year when they see our new costumes! It’s going to be soooo exciting I can barely wait!
Below is a brief step by step picture show and tell.
Figure 1 – First Cut All the pieces – 48 TOTAL
Figure 2 – Then sandwich foam between layers of fabric, all pieces of the 3d puzzle!
Figure 3 – The front of the face gets put together first!
Figure 4 – Then the back of the head gets attached, see the fuzzy mane underneath?
Figure 5 – Now comes the hard part, inside out, attach the mane all around!
Figure 6 – Almost ready, still missing whiskers and eyebrows!
Figure 7 – Here is our old head on the left and the prototype for the new one on the right!
Figure 8 – And here is the full costume!
Figure 9 – Roooarr!!
Stay tuned with our blog and soon see the new bear costume, new tiger costume and, of course, the 2012 Circus Imagination Summer Schedule!
See you later alligator!

2011 Blog in review
Happy New Years Everybody! We wish you all the best! 2012 is here!
Gotta love WordPress! The best free blogs, the best service! Here’s the 2011 annual report they sent me today, I thought it would be fun to share!
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,900 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 32 trips to carry that many people.
