The event, a combination of Vietnamese circus artists and Japanese magic artists, tells the story of a country with cherry blossoms and kind, warm-hearted, courageous, hospitable people. However, all good things disappear when an autocratic king comes to power.
In such a situation, two brave brothers dared to fight against the powerful king. After their young sister was captured, the older brother trained to be stronger to save her. After a period of pain-taking, and diligent practice, he was given a secret book symbolizing courage and containing extremely mysterious power.
The people rose up against the king together, which made the king finally realize that power is not everything. The king vows to build a country where everyone lives in harmony and equality.
That happy plot is a reasonable content line for Japanese magic artists in the image of legendary Ninja warriors to show off their talents during the battle journey in combination with extreme circus performances by artists of the Vietnam Circus Federation.

Ai and Yuki - a Japanese magic artist duo who have performed in Las Vegas (USA) for a long time, said that the idea of performing the show was cherished more than a year ago and planned to debut to the audience since 2023, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic relations. However, for many reasons, the program has not been held until now.

“We have only been in Vietnam for a few days and haven't practiced much with the Federation's circus artists, but we can see that the techniques of Vietnamese circus artists are very good, not any less skillful than other international circus artists we have cooperated. We greatly appreciate them and believe that the show will reach an international quality level. We also hope that after the Vietnam performance, the show will seize the opportunity to continue in Japan or Las Vegas,” the duo artists shared.
“Ninja Magic Show” will be performed at the Central Circus, Hanoi with 8 shows, from May 17 to 26. The performance on May 24 will be performed free of charge for disabled children.
