Don't become too alarmed when you hear "Adult Circus" and "Penn State President Graham Spanier" in the same sentence.

Tonight at 7:30 The State Theatre will host The Adult Circus, a fast-paced, all-encompassing variety show that features magic, juggling, mentalist acts and an infusion of comedy. The venue stars Penn State alumni Chris Chelko and Mike DuBois.

Spanier will also be a part of the venue by opening the show with a 15-minute magic act.

State Theatre Executive Director Mike Negra said this is the first magic-oriented show for the venue. "It just shows the diversity of the performances that we're offering at the State Theatre," he said.

The 26-year-old Chelko will perform the majority of the magic acts and 25-year-old DuBois will specialize in juggling and balancing demonstrations.

"Don't let the name scare you off; we just wanted it to be eye catching," said Chelko, who is also a State College native.

At Penn State, Chelko was the president of the school's Performing Magicians Club and DuBois was president of the Juggling Club. Already, the two have preformed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, at major corporation parties as well as hundreds of colleges and universities across the nation.

DuBois said they decided to ask Spanier, the adviser for the Performing Magicians Club, to open their show.

Chelko said the show is highly audience interactive and members will constantly be helping out with tricks, stunts and even a few mind-reading demonstrations.

He added that although he doesn't want to give away the show, in their closing act he will stand on broken glass while DuBois juggles 14-inch machetes on his shoulders.

DuBois, who will escape from a straight jacket while riding a 6-foot unicycle, said their show covers all grounds.

"Not one person will get bored of one thing because there is so much happening," he said. "I think the public will like it."

The juggler also said students can relate to what a couple of guys came up with. "Not too long ago we were Penn State students, too," DuBois said.

Admission is $15, $10 for students.
