There is a perception about our show, pehaps it's because we have kisd performing in the show, that our show best suits an all children audience or that our show is for kids. Well I have to tell you the show is aimed for all ages. Sure it's safe for kids because we don't use foul language, we don't wear explicit costumes, and similar things that are often qualified as for "adult" in nature. We are a clean family friendly show. But that doesn't mean it's just for kids. in fact we perform about 20% of our shows for all adult audiences rather successfully, in the corporate and club markets.
We will adjust our act to the audience present. For example, when an audience is weighted more with adult crowds Princess Amelia won't do her "Frog" mind-reading routine but will replace it with a routine where she reads the minds of three adults in the audience. Or name the "invisible item" an adult from the audience is imagining in their hand. And no one can say that walking on broken glass, levitating, Impaling an assistant, the bed of nails, and high quality juggling is just for kids. I guarantee you there is no better show for adults or for kids or for mixed audiences than the Kent Family Magic Circus.
And some people make the error of think we are a "magic show". We were once a magic show. But when Jim starting juggling, Miles started bull-whipping, Several of us started eating fire, walking on glass, laying on nails, pounding nails into our head, walking on walking globes, unicycling, etc the term "magic show" was replaced with MAGIC CIRCUS. There are many magic or illusion show elements in our show but it' can;'t be called a magic show any more. Still the magic elements are strong, well practiced and as professional as you can get. Likewise the variety entertainment that are non-magical are just as strong and well practiced and professional that to leave them out of the show title would border on being a sin.
