Kids Gasp for air during Puppet show in Danville

Children gasped for air during a Puppet show in Danville. A magician, with purple hair and a purple cap, sawed a clown in half.

After the clown was restored, there was a dancing bear puppet, a friendly lion puppet, and an elephant puppet that squirted water at her audience.

The finale of the 35 minute puppet show was a bear puppet balancing on one leg on the high wire, made more perilous since there was not a safety net.
