Morning, we've been showing you guys some pretty amazing acts. But I think this one is what you're definitely gonna want to see for yourself. I can't even explain it. This is called The Wheel of Death. And we're told that these performers are coming all the way from Colombia. One is that a nephew and his uncle is pretty amazing. I mean, if I had just explain this to you guys, I don't think I can, you just have to see it for yourself. Um And we're gonna talk to the Ring Master Arthur about what's happening here today. I mean, this is incredible when I saw them get up there at first. I was like, oh, wow, what is the reaction that you get from the crowd when they see what's happening? No, that's why, you know, that's what they do because like, you see it, you know, every single second, what do they do? What they, how they perform is very exciting. It's dangerous, very dangerous. They have to have a complete concentration and the riddle, you know, synchronize it, you know, between them Ricardo and Tito like Alejandro, sorry, it just, they have to be the same. If it's not one little mistake it can be. And you said the reaction is, people are scared to see it. I mean, I'm nervous just watching them but they don't seem nervous at all. Can you talk about how long have you seen them preparing to do this? Because they look very calm up there? Well, that's what you think they're calm but no, they, they are, like I said before, they concentrate, they know what they're doing because if this kind of act, if you let the, uh, if you have no fear, I mean, even him as an acrobat, he will tell you the same thing. If you don't have the fear, it's better just toss up. You have to have the fear because you go. Oh, ok. It's easy. And that's when the mistake. Yes. If you live in concentration, that's when the mistake can come and can be pretty bad. So, yeah, they're nervous. I am so impressed you guys. Well, this is the end of our show here, but the wild don't stop here under this big top. You can see the show for yourself by, they'll be here until November 19th. So don't just take my word for you guys. I've been here all morning telling you how amazing it is. You can come get a ticket and come see the show yourself for now in Coop City. I'm Samantha. Cheney is 12. All right, Samantha. Bye bye. All right, Samantha before you leave. Do you think you're going to try? What is the wheel of death at any point? You think you're gonna show us? Give us a look at that Asia. I'm just gonna leave it to the professionals. I'm watching from the sidelines, you know, getting some practice in my head, but I'm not gonna be getting up there to do it. I'm gonna leave it to them. Samantha. That's a good answer. I was expecting that. I want to make sure you're good. I enjoyed the side.

All morning. I've been having a great time seeing these amazing performances. We've seen aerial performances, unicycling. We've seen what else? Everything. But this right here, this is sort of wake you up. Now, these are the super tumblers and I'm told they've been performing with each other since they were just kids. They're coming all the way from West Africa. Now this morning, I'm going to be speaking with Ring Arthur right here. Can you tell me you guys have performances coming from all over the world? How special is that to have them all in, under one tent in this show? Well, it was a beautiful treat. You know what I mean? It's so excited to have, uh from West Africa, from Italy all over the world and it's just a privilege. It's a big enjoy and just bringing these talents together for different parts of the world. Why does that make it so special to have in one show? Well, because each one has their own talent, you know what I mean? And later you combine everybody, you know what I mean? So that's the magic over there and I know you may not be allowed to say this. But do you have a favorite act? No. You know what I, I really don't because being from the circus you have to love everything. You know what I mean? Because each one have, they're all different, you know what I mean? A different talent different the way they perform. So everyone is very special for us. I love it. And I've been very impressed by each and every act that I've seen. I know I said this earlier guys, I'm going to join the circus, but I've decided that maybe I'm just gonna like sweep, maybe clean, sell the tickets or something like that because I'm definitely not able to do what these guys are doing behind me, but you're in for one more treat. We have another performance coming up in the next hour. So make sure you guys stay tuned because it's something you're definitely not gonna wanna miss in Co Op City. I'm Samantha Chaney who's 12.

Yes, that's right. And I mean, I see this. I think I may be trading in my news head guys and joining the circus. This is so much fun. Take a look for yourself. Look at that. Now, if you think you're tired this morning, look at these ladies, they're out here at 6 a.m. they're dancing. And I mean, how much better can you start your day than seeing this now? Right now, you are looking at the Bellow sisters and they've come all the way from Italy to perform their specialty hand balancing. Look at that. Incredible. Can you guys think you can do this? I mean, I don't think I can but um I think that I'm gonna show you guys a special look. I'm talking to their father this morning, Steve Bellow. Now he is the clown in this show and tell me how incredible is it to see your daughters up here doing this? Well, it's amazing because I, I don't have a chance to see them working every day performing. I have a chance to share the stage with them. So it's amazing. And I hear that they were actually finalists on America's got talent and now you guys are working here together. Tell me about that. Well, we had the chance, they had a chance when we were here in the United States. I was here for work and then we had this chance to go to the A GT and uh it was really fantastic. Uh I would say it was amazing. Amazing. This looks absolutely amazing. You think you can do this? I used to do this. Now, I'm not too much in shape. I don't think I can. But can you tell me how long does it take them to get this, start doing this? Practicing? Well, they, they need to start since they are little, you know, like four or five years, they start to play a little bit and then, then when they're growing up, they taking everything more seriously and then they start to like that and then, you know, you, you start to practice every day intensive, then you start to ask people around your colleagues to help you to, to grow, you know, and that's incredible guys. I mean, I don't know if I'll be joining the circus doing that, but maybe they can give me a job, something else. But for now I'm here at, in Coop City, Samantha Cheney News 12 to in later will be having more performances guys. So keep an eye out on that. Ok, Sam real quick. So you could do two jobs hand out the peanuts or you can get on stage and do a back flip. We want to see either one of those. Ok, thanks. Be sweeping. Thanks, Sam. We'll see you in a bit.
