Scions of Switzerland's oldest circus family, the Nocks have earned universal acclaim for their daring stunts on skyscraping swaypoles, completely free of guy wires and safety means. The Nocks can bend their spars to a perilous 40 degree angle. They also feature an unbelievable and risky mid swaypole exchange, where all members of The Nocks actually exchange swaypoles in mid air. In addition, they are the only performers anywhere to perform a grueling hand over hand climb up their gleaming super tall spars. |

Grock Entertainment Genius The genius known as GROCK laid the ground work for the entire entertainment comedy industry - stage, theater, vaudeville, television, motion picture, and of course, circus. Just like the U.S. American forefathers wrote the Declaration of Independence to guide and invent a whole new way of thinking; Grock inspired, educated, created, and entertained all generations to come. |

Pius Nock PIO THE CLOWN Doing things that have never been done before, is put in the category of unthinkable, to see what is not there. All-around athlete combines the art of comedy and daredevil aerial skills. For the first time in entertainment history, the clown, jester, performer, inspirational leader flys and fills your imagination like no one ever before. |
