On Friday 4th of July, the last day of term 2 my family, cousins and me went to a circus just outside on the carpark near the ASB stadium.  It was around 6.00 that the circus began and the seats were filled. Smoke filled the stage but then the lights went out. People stood in silence thinking there was no power. "there's no power" one shouted. Then just as someone from the crowd was about to talk..."BANG!" The lights turned on and fireworks flew everywhere but didn't hurt anyone.

On the stage there were two men with a suitcase lying on the ground. One was really short and the other was tall. They never talked but it looked like they were trying to lift the suitcase. Both couldn't lift it, so they chose a little girl from the audience to try and lift it. She came to the case and picked it up  as if it were as light as tissue.

Both of them stared at each other amazed then they handed her a 7 inch lolli-pop that magically appeared from out of their pockets. After sending the girl away a girl barged out on stage with a box. Both of the men placed her inside closed the box and stood there (fake) crying. They then pulled out ten swords and stuck all of them into the box one by one until. Sometime after, they opened the box and took her out and she came out unharmed.

The audience were clapping loud and ready. It was the last act and the audience were wanting more. Then unexpectedly lights turned off then on magically. There was a man standing on a tower holding steady. What he was going to do was fearlessly going to get lots of chairs and stack them carefully one by one in top of each other.  After building this tower, he then climbed to the top and stood there. The way he was risking his life was bloodcurdling. My cousin counted a total of 28 chairs each being approximately 1 metre in height. One by one His stacking continued until he  amazingly stood on 30 chairs.

Their he was standing in the air until suddenly his grip went wobbling, the audience screaming, shouting, covering their mouths watching in fear, his feet had nothing to stand on and he fell like a drop of rain. He was falling fast but the distance of him and the ground gave the other clowns enough time to run out and catch him. The crowd stood with silence then gave a big clap. The clowns took a bow waved and walked to the backstage.

It was a good night. I was tired so I went to bed.
