• Clearview, a globally renowned magician and mentalist, has performed for celebrities such as Neil Patrick Harris and appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us. A previous Canada’s Got Talent finalist who received the Golden Buzzer and a $25,000 cash prize, he also holds a world record. He now hosts NYC’s popular MAGIC, UNLOCKED.
• Rinny, a fourth-generation circus performer returning to A Magical Cirque Christmas, started his career in his family’s Argentine circus at age five. Now a celebrated Rola Bola and unicycle artist, he has impressed audiences globally, including earning a “best act” compliment from AGT’s Simon Cowell.
• Noone, a four-time American Ninja Warrior competitor and Guinness World Record holder, is thrilled to come back to the national tour of A Magical Cirque Christmas. She is recognized for her versatile performances and her involvement with the contemporary circus company Cirque Vida, based in Austin, TX.
• Las Vegas resident Stoinev is a fifth-generation circus performer who began juggling at five years old and has never stopped. At eight, he was invited to perform at Premier Rampe, an International Circus Festival in Monaco.
• James blends musical theatre, dance, and circus into a single dynamic act. A former Dance Captain for Chicago, Hairspray, and Mamma Mia, she later worked with legendary director Franco Dragone as both an artist and creative. Having headlined shows across the Middle East, the U.K., Asia, Australia, and the U.S., James brings a worldwide viewpoint and cinematic storytelling to every piece.
