World of Wonders Show in California!

Postby Diego » August 16th, 2014, 12:13 pm

For the first time in decades, Ward Hall and Chris Christ, have brought their, "World of Wonders", Sideshow/Ten-In-One, out to the West Coast, playing fairs and events.

I saw their show at The Ventura County Fair, last week and had a great time, seeing the show, meeting the performers and cutting up jackpots with Chris.
(This may have been the first time a Ten-In-One has played the Ventura County Fair, since Pete Kortes' show played there decades before.)

Besides performers performing acts including fire-eating, sword-swallowing, blockhead, sword ladder, hula hoops, and strongman stunts, it also features illusions including Spidora, Guillotine-Head on sword/throne, electric girl, and a vertical blade box.

I briefly worked the Bally Stage out front,(Thanks Tommy/Doc) something I haven't done in many years. A lot of memories from the past and, now for the future.

Their show will be playing The Los Angeles County Fair, (Pomona) next, and more dates thru the end of the season.
