Britney Spears To Be Sawn In Half On Stage

Britney Spears will become a magician's assistant during her performances on the Circus tour.

The singer, who will begin her world tour next month, has been working with TV illlusionist Ed Alonzo in preparation for a fantastic stage routine which will include Spears being sawn in half.

Speaking to People.com, Alonzo said: "There are three giant (circus) rings with unbelievable things hanging in the air and flying around."

"She's incorporated into major illusions. She'll do dissection, where she's sawed in half, and transposition, where she's in one place and ends up in another place. She's doing all the classic elements of magic."

Alonzo added that the sexy singer was back to her gorgeous slender self: "She looks really incredible. She's really toned. Her stomach looks fantastic. This is the Britney Spears people remember from the past. Even stronger and better."
