- The Mighty Bo, who promoters say is the largest performing elephant in the world. Bo will perform a routine from the more than 60 tricks he has learned. The circus will also feature other elephants.
- Vicenta Pages and the White Tigers. Each animal came under Pages' tutelage as a 14- or 15-month-old cub. She has worked with them daily since then. Their numerous tricks include rolling over and lying down, jumping hurdles and giving high fives.

From the Bucharest State Circus in Romania, the Marinofs perform acrobatic feats high above the circus ring, daring yet graceful as a ballet, promoters said.
- The Georgettes Magic Extravaganza. With dancing, rope work and synchronized routines, the Georgettes bring circus dreams to life while dangling from a rope high above the ring.
