Circus Bizarre
Your nightmare begins with Hawthorne’s Circus Bizarre, the most unusual show in America. This extreme variety show blends sideshow acts with circus arts, creating entertainment on the edge of reality.
Hawthorne, known as the modern-day mystic, tours nationally throughout the United States. He has amazed and entertained thousands at venues and events across the country.
He will leave you gasping, screaming, and wanting more as he shoves hot, flaming torches down his throat, walks barefoot across razor-sharp shards of glass, performs various feats of pain resistance, and much more.
He even attempts a live human electrocution by sticking his finger into an electric lamp (don’t try this at home!). It is all real, all extremely dangerous, and all performed right before your eyes—if you dare to keep them open.
Before you leave, explore the strange, the odd, and the unbelievable in the most unique and unexplained Oddities Museum. Featuring unicorns, shrunken heads, chupacabras, and much more—including the “world famous IT,” the strangest thing you will ever see.
