Spears’ Circus tour gets a little old school magic
Forget Britney. I might head to the “Circus” tour to catch Ed Alonzo. Better known as the owner of The Max from “Saved By the Bell,” the illusionist/comedian is appearing on the singer’s new tour and talked about it with E! News.
“Right away, she got into the boxes and into the magic contraptions to learn the stuff, and she’s so excited about this tour and all the elements that are in it,” said Alonzo.
The pop star will serve as Alonzo’s assistant in the bit.
“We’re going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech,” he said. “We’ll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance – and if I do a trick, she doesn’t just hold the props, she’s actually getting inside the big boxes or I am slicing her up.”
Alonzo made the tricks easy for her, but they look pretty good.
“There are some complicated things that she is doing that you would think a contortionist would have to do, or a trained magician’s assistant,” Alonzo said. “But because … she’s a dancer, it really makes sense to put her in the magic, and it works and she’s really, really good at it.”
“Some of it’s pretty scary, but she gets right in there with no reservations,” he added.
“It’s going to be an amazing concert for people to watch,” he said. “It’s like watching a big Cirque du Soleil high-tech circus, but with a really focused star in the middle of all of this.”
