Things at a Fantasy Circus (d83)

1

A vibrantly dressed man floats in a bubble on top of a large pool of water. He magically plucks children from the audience and places them in their own bubble. After a short time of wonderment the bubble bursts and they drop with glee into the pool.

A carney that knows your immediate future (5-10 min).

A pianist perched on the tusks of a giant elephant plays a piano carved into the tusks.

5

In a tent filled with thick mist is a carousel of flying creatures restrained by invisible tethers. A copper piece to try to ride one.

6

A seemingly mundane home set up on the edge of the circus. Walking through the open front door shrinks you to 4 inches tall. Walking out changes you back to normal. Beware of the cat!

7

A tight rope walker navigating the tight rope on a giant ball.

A titanic giant twirls a tree trunk sized staff. Balancing on both ends are two trapeze artists doing seemingly impossible tricks.

19

The amazing healing woman. She's tied to a spinning wheel target, and for you a copper you get to throw one dagger at her. It hurts like normal but she heals so fast it's not really that bad. Or is it worse? Who cares? It's your copper.

20

Affable, fat giants light the huge big top tents and walkways with paper lanterns hung from tree branches. They can light and extinguish them, but that's the extent of their capability.
