Background of American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio

People say that dreams can’t be achieved…. but the Osorio Brothers are proof that they can. Francisco (Pancho), Leoncio Enrique (Leo) and Roberto Carlos (Rob) are three brothers that continue to live the dream of owning a Circus.

Their father Herminio Osorio and mother Rosabelia Osorio retired from the family business – ‘Circo Osorio Mexico’ – to bring these brothers to the United Sates to achieve their dreams. Like all immigrant families, they started with nothing when they first arrived in the U.S. Herminio and Rosabelia wished for their children to become successful Doctors and Lawyers; but with the love and passion for circus in their blood, they decided to continue in the family business and open their own “Circus”.

They started out small; working for other shows and parks such as Carson and Barnes, Clyde Beatty Cole Brothers Circus, Knott’s Berry Park, CA, and even Busch Gardens, FL. They were given their big break when Mark Mcguire, the director at Circus Circus Reno, saw their ‘Highwire’ act. He was interested and loved the act, so he brought them to Circus Circus Reno and Circus Circus Las Vegas.

Once their career was over, they knew that it was still important to keep the dream alive. They decided to open their own show, ‘American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio USA. Their first tour lasted only 10 days around the Vegas Valley. With the hard work and determination that their parents taught them; they were soon touring for over 45 weeks to thousands of people each year.

American Crown Circus, Inc. & Circo Osorio Circus is proof that dreams are still alive and thriving if you choose to live them.
