Every great show begins with a meeting of kindred spirits. For us, it started when two costumed characters crossed paths- a silly clown with more than two decades of performances under his belt, and a kindred soul who believed just as strongly in the power of a smile. From my very first clown class of many at the age of six, I knew this was more than just tricks and laughter- it was about creating moments people would treasure for life.

 

We've carried that love of classic, silly novelties and gags- the kind that make you laugh so hard your cheeks hurt- into everything we do. As parents of three wonderful boys, we know exactly how important those moments are. Their love, encouragement, and boundless curiosity are the heartbeat of our little family circus, and we couldn't do any of this without them.

​

Our mission is simple: Bring as many smiles as possible to as many people as we can, while we can. Life's too short to save the joy for later. Every twist of a balloon, every face painted, every magical surprise is a chance to make a memory someone will look back on forever and absolutely adore.

​

That's why we work so hard to keep our services affordable-especially for families. We believe every child deserves to feel the wonder of live entertainment right in their own home, without parents worrying about the price tag. Sometimes, a little laughter and wonder can be the easiest, most magical gift you can give.

​

Since opening our magic shop in 2023 The Little Big Top has been more than just a place to find tricks, gags, and novelties. It's been a home for joy in Racine, Wisconsin, and the surrounding areas- a place where nostalgia, laughter, and a touch of magic meet.

​

And we're still here, hearts wide open, ready to make the next person we meet laugh until they can't catch their breath. Because this isn't  just our business. It's our calling. Our love letter to every smile we've ever seen... and every one still waiting to be made.
