A YOUNG Britain’s Got Talent Youtube star who narrowly missed Simon Cowell with his knife throwing act will be coming to Middlewich with his circus this week.


11-year-old Edward Pinder appeared on the popular talent show earlier this year performing his circus act but when the show’s judge, multi-millionaire Simon Cowell opted to be the obstacle in the way of the target, he was given a scare.

 

Edward said: “I wanted to go on Britain’s Got Talent to show people what I can do because you don’t see an act like mine every day.

 

“I was a bit nervous about throwing knives at Simon but I got over it.”


Edward, who claims to be the youngest professional knife thrower in Europe, is now coming to showcase his skills in Middlewich as part of the Pinders Circus.


The circus will be at the Market Field off Civic Way from Thursday, July 3 until Sunday, July 6 and will run on Thursday and Friday at 7pm, on Saturday at 2pm and 5pm, and on Sunday at 2pm.


The production does not use any animals and showcases a variety of acts from around the globe including a rare crossbow act using a human target.


Entry to the circus costs £10.00 for adults and £9.00 for children with a first day special offer of £4.99.
