russian speakers/readers?

I picked up an old poster for CP, while on my Major Roadtrip a few years back, and I've constantly forgotten to get a picture for translation purposes. My best guess is a magician (possibly part of a circus?), but if anyone can puzzle out the wording, color me curious, and much appreciative. Sorry the image isn't the sharpest; I had to turn off the flash so the protective plastic didn't bounce the light.



many thanks in advance!

Shapito might be a transliteration of chapiteau? It's french, pronounced the exact same way, and it designates the huge circus tent they do the spectacle under.

I guess that boils down to "at the big honkin' circus tent (for the cabbages in the audience who can't figure out what a circus is)"?
