The incredible Magic Circus of Samoa is back. And Tupa’i Bruno Loyale has brought with him to Samoa the world’s shortest man.
They arrived on Friday. During an interview with the Sunday Samoan, Tupa’i said Chandra Bahadur Dangi, of Nepal, should be a major attraction in Samoa.
“The Magic Circus of Samoa has the opportunity to bring an unusual, strange and even bizarre entertainment with our circus because it will be extremely popular,” he said.
“We started on our tour two years ago of French Polynesia and we brought Sultan Kösen who is the Guinness World Book of Records tallest man in the world.
“It was an enormous hit.”
“So this year, we decided to bring on tour with us the smallest man in the world. Now he is in the Guinness World Book of Records, and one thing that’s unusual is there has never ever in recorded history been any man shorter or smaller than him.
He is the smallest ever.” Tupa’i said Mr. Chandra took the title away from someone that was 25 incles tall and 27 inches tall before that. “He is 21 inches tall.
It’s a phenomenon and it’s an amazing thing to see someone that tiny.”
Mr. Chandra is in Samoa with other circus performers from Ethiopia, Nepal and India.
For Tupa’i, he has been in Samoa for a month now to prepare for their show.
And he is promising something new.
“Many years ago, I took the Magic Circus to the villages of Savai’i and Upolu, the far away villages including Fasitoo-uta, Manono-uta and it was very successful back in the days,” he said.
“This year, we are hoping to do some of the villages for the people who really don’t have the chance to come to Apia.
So we will be taking it to as many villages as we can around Upolu and Savai’i so the people will get the chance to see our show.”
The Magic Circus of Samoa will be in the country until the end of June.
