There is an old axiom in show business…something like it’s very hard working with children and animals.
We have both in the Kent Family Magic Circus! And I will testify that the axiom is true.
Take today for example.
We are booked for three days of filming at the very beautiful paradise Performing Arts Center (Spared by the giant fire that burned over 20K acres). We filmed several of our standard routines that we have all performed a hundred million times. Somehow though it was impossible to get any of the takes in one take. From fiddling with each other or themselves to emergency bathroom calls right in the middle of a shot or just missing their mark or queue…wow! After reviewing the dailies almost every take will end up on the cutting room floor.
Princess Olivia, for example, (remember she is 2) never would enter the stage the same way twice. Once happy, once upset, once a dancer, once and acrobat, once holding tight ‘cause she had to go! We were in tears from laughter; you know the kind you get when you just give up! Still she pulled off a few cute cuts that might make the final. Anyway, we perform the show as a full program open to the public this Wednesday at 2pm for the unbelievable cost of only $3.00 to quarantine a sell out. We will donate our profits to the fire relief. We will post clips from the video on our video page soon.
