Step Right Up: Le Cirque Arcanus Brings Magical Mystery to Epic Universe

A new spectacle is set to dazzle guests at Universal Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe — and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Welcome to Le Cirque Arcanus, a mysterious and mesmerizing traveling wizarding show that will debut as part of the Ministry of Magic-themed land. Source: Universal Le Cirque Arcanus isn’t your typical circus. Drawing inspiration from the “Fantastic Beasts” films within the Wizarding World franchise, this fantastical show blends magic, illusion, and the bizarre in a vintage-style big top filled with wonder and secrets. Known as the “most mysterious circus in the world,” it originally appeared in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and is now being brought to life in theme park form for the first time. Set in 1920s wizarding Paris, the Ministry of Magic land immerses guests in the golden age of spellcraft, and Le Cirque Arcanus fits right in with its eerie elegance and enchanted oddities. While Universal has yet to reveal the full list of acts, guests can expect a mix of live performers, animatronics, and state-of-the-art effects that blur the line between illusion and real wizardry. From magical creatures and contortionists to levitating illusions and mind-bending tricks, the show promises to be both immersive and unpredictable. This is more than a show — it’s a portal into a hidden corner of the Wizarding World, where the strange is celebrated and the line between real and magical is constantly crossed. With Universal pushing the boundaries of live entertainment and storytelling, Le

My collection of Disney art up for auction

Antiques, Pop Culture & Works of Art (26 Jun 25) https://auctions.gardinerhoulgate.co…-works-of-art/ In 1993 I had graduated from university with a degree in economics and by then I’d been a bank manager in Toronto for a few years. Being a mature, professional young man in a suit had grown tiresome. I could literally feel slices of my soul being siphoned off and stored in Horcruxes inside the vault. But I had a plan. I contacted the Disney Corporation to enquire about sponsorship for a J1 work visa (allowing me to work for them down south in the States). Long story short, I got the job, quit the bank (my parents were super happy and proud, by the way…They thought it was an excellent use of a very expensive degree) and I packed my little red sports car full of guitars and suntan lotion for the two-day drive south to Florida. When I arrived, I was greeted by a wonderfully creative bunch of people that were the polar opposite of my old colleagues at the bank. It was like the scene in Wizard of Oz when it went from black and white to glorious Technicolour. My job entailed working in attractions to make sure that guests were having the best time ever. I quickly got promoted to boat captain, sailing guests between hotels and parks on a 90-foot motorboat. And I got to be a musician playing in a rock band for corporate Disney events. As a boat captain I was able

NewsNew Show @ Hyperion Theatre?

Multiple, and reliable, sources are indicating that a new stage show is coming to the Hyperion Theatre. For one, I’m thrilled the theatre is not being demolished. And two, if this news is true, then I’m even more thrilled. Apparently, Disney is in talk to create a new Broadway style show, but nothing concrete is being mentioned on what type of show it would be at this time. Personally, I would love to see a version of Disney’s “Hercules” shown there. The music is awesome, you have the wise-cracking Hades for comic relief, and of course, there’s Hercules and Meg. Plus, think of the exciting dance numbers that could be choreographed. The show would be pure entertainment!! Disney has already shown us that can do it well with Aladdin and Frozen, so why not Hercules next? And who knows, with this (possible) news, perhaps we’ll finally get a real show on the Fantasyland Theatre, as well. Fingers crossed. Here’s hoping 2026 will be a year with new, quality entertainment on these stages. Heck, they might as well create something on the Golden Horseshoe stage, while they’re at it. Come on, Disney, give us back what’s been missing for so long!
