Spears hires TV magician for 'Circus' tour

Britney Spears has reportedly recruited a magician for her upcoming world tour.

The 'Womanizer' singer is hoping that TV illusionist Ed Alonzo will add some flair to 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears', reports In Touch.

"She'll be singing, dancing and doing illusions at the same time," said Alonzo, who has previously appeared on Saved By The Bell and America's Next Top Model.

Indian choreographer Rujata, who has helped design the show, revealed that Spears has been rehearsing eight hours a day, often wearing just a string bikini to ensure that her moves are flawless.

"Britney is a perfectionist. When she comes in the room, it's a really intense, high-pressure environment," she explained. "[She] is totally fit and her body is back in shape. She is really confident right now."

Spears will kick off her US tour on March 3 in New Orleans, before playing a mini-residency at London's O2 arena from June 3 and a one-off show in Manchester on June 17.
