Our Story
George Bell has been a professional clown, comedian and magician for over 35 years. His career started during a trip to the city of Baraboo Wisconsin, the hometown of Ringling Bros Circus.
Circus World Museum is located in this historic area. That is where George met “Hap” Williams, a Clown and Ringmaster of the circus that performs there. “Hap” took George and his wife Anita back into clown alley. Their journey of a lifetime of performing had began, and continues today.
Magician-Mentalist ( I "read" people by touching the ear ) George Bell has also become a master puppeteer - he has created the “Christian Comedy” character “Homer Hallelu”. In 1987 George teamed up with his youngest son Dockery, who started performing magic and puppetry at only four years old. The first Item his proud daddy placed in the hospital crib was a terry cloth Toucan puppet , Dockery still has that raggedy puppet today. George and his son, magician Dockery James, own Bellefeuille Family Productions. They provide shows and consultation to the amusement park, fair and festival industry. Together they have performed or produced shows in Branson Mo, Eureka Springs Ar., Silver Dollar City and Wild Adventures theme parks, and toured their puppet and magic shows across the nation. The matriarch of the family, Anita performs as Annie Ta Clown... The oldest of the Bellefeuille children Gordon Edmund is a noted author - mentalist and Stage hypnotist. His profile and act is also featured on GIG SALAD -
