    Is the German hologram-using circus still in operation despite the pandemic? there won’t be much patrons in the tent.

    Question “how do you wash the mask”? Answer “very carefully”.

    Holographic animals? I’d go to that, as long as they have holographic clowns, too. The farther away from me the better.

    YouTube has some videos of the holographic circus animals.

    This technique is also being used to recreate performances by singers and dancers no longer among the living.

    Yvel could make a few shekels. A Saudi Prince may buy it and gift one of his wives with a new niqab. Then again he may purchase four after a little haggling.

    I learned via Internet about a zoo in Japan that is seven dimensional, all kinds of animals exotic wild extinct, Walk, play by you, get right in your face, Just like they are real, perhaps even better, only in actuality they aren’t real.

    The circus sells hologram peanuts; there is no cleanup required.

    That takes all the thrills and fun out out of the circus. No danger!

    I sent my aunt a hologram and she stared for hours. Not at the hologram, but me.

    Take care, may the adored be with you, and gesundheit.

    Since I hit age 60, I can’t walk a straight line on my driveway without losing my balance. What’s up with that?

    I recommend you not sneeze while wearing that gold and diamond mask, it could cost you a fortune.

    Nik Wallenda was not the first to not use a barrel to go over Niagara Falls.

    Circus Roncalli uses hologram audiences since COVID – 19 shutdowns in Germany.

    The mask has the same origins as the golden calf.

    I believe Charles Blondin did it without a safety lanyard, and didn’t require a passport when crossing over to the other side.

    The 3D images in that circus are not real holograms. Whatever technology is used, it is computer generated. The animals can do things they couldn’t do in real life. They can have acts by extinct animals. They can even have species of animals that don’t exist in nature.

    I would be interested in knowing what technology is actually used.

    Congrats to Nik and Charles…if I were to do something like that, I’m probably get a cramp in my foot … Then I’d just be a memory…and a soggy one at that!

    I wonder if any silver is in it. Silver actually has some anti-microbial properties

    Here’s a better idea, wear a 50-cent mask and donate the remaining $1,499,999.50 to covid-19 research. This way you’re actually a part of the solution…
