Magikaria – Circus Vargas

Had a great time. They were very family oriented and the acrobatics were amazing and unique and different.
Everyone was laughing and having a great time. The story lune of the young boy dreaming was different and flowed well and very easy for the kids to follow.
This my second year and will be back for sure next year.

If your paying full price to watch these rookies then that is your first mistake. I had a BOGO (back of grocery receipt) which was helpful, but the better choice would have been to skip the sideshow totally.
1. Ahh. watch the well trained trapeeze performers fall into the net twice on flips. One ok, but twice for trained professionals is upsetting. The trapeeze is the first thing they teach their young out of the womb.
2. They failed to perform the Wheel of Death. An email I sent offered no explanation. Plus the show lasted only 90 minutes. but advertised 2 hours.
3. The crowd was about 60 people. Get cheaper bleacher seats and move down.
4. After 45 minutes I was wishing an elephant would show up, but no animals at the show.
5. The motorcycles were the highlight and when you have a circus in a tent, you are left with porta-​potties. Enjoy the circus people.

We attended the circus performance at Superstition Springs Mall in Mesa 2014. The only other circus we have attended in the Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus. Circus Vargas is not on the same level of RBBBC but it is just as professional. This is a family run business.
We attended on a day when there was only about 50 persons in attendance. Mostly families. More seats than people but the performance was just as good for one and a half hours. The acts were from Latin and Central America and performed very well. They try very hard getting the audience involved. The whole show is fun. The place, tent, and restroom facilities are set up well for those who may have disabilities and/​or handicapped.
The blue tent is clearly seen from afar. The only distraction was that from the outside the tent was a bit dusty but that is understandable since we are in the desert. Also, the bleachers look very uncomfortable and are placed at the rear of the circular tent arena. The most expensive seats around the circle are the most comfortable. No animals. Just excellent human talent and skill. Get a ticket and go! If you have doubts leave them and go with your best intentions — they will be met.

$$$$ Please be aware and let family and friends be aware for wherever this circus travels… I was just notified from my bank of fraudulent activity. It was traced back from the circus from when they were here in Scottsdale. When my husband purchased popcorn and drinks, the ‘kid’ who took the debit/​credit card also took the card info. I would not post this if I did not know for sure. There procedure for credit/​debit cards is shady. They tried to use card at many gas stations, etc.
If you saw the show in AZ go check your bank statements. If you know of anyone going to the show in any city that circus will be traveling to… make sure they pay in cash for everything they purchase!

It’s been many years since I’ve been to a circus. Last night I had the opportunity to check out Circus Vargas — Magikaria. The tent for this show was relatively small, so I knew there wouldn’t be any animals featured in the show.
The show had a combination of Magic and Acrobats along with some traditional Circus acts (Ball of Death, Trapeze). I don’t want to give away the details of the show, so I won’t write about it. All I can say was that it exceeded my expectations. The family and I had a good time. If you have kids that are under 13 yrs old, they’ll love it. Heck, even my 17 yr old Son enjoyed it, so I guess it appeals to all ages.
The show is 2 hrs long which includes a 20 – 25 min intermission. If you’re looking for good, wholesome family fun give this a shot.
