The Psychic Circus, also called the Psychic Fair and more popularly known as the Greatest Show in the Galaxy, was a travelling show circa the 35th century (AUDIO: Paradise 5) founded by a group of hippies; inspired by the Master who was exploiting it as a source of psychic energy thanks to a pendant given to him by the Gods of Ragnarok, allowing him to harness and redirect the energy to escape some dark place; (AUDIO: The Psychic Circus) possibly Destination. (AUDIO: The Destination Wars) The circus visited Othrys, the Boriatic Wastes, Marpesia and the grand pagoda on Cinethon. (TV: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)

While on Segonax, it was taken over by the Gods of Ragnarok, who used it to fill their craving for entertainment. When the Seventh Doctor and Ace arrived on Segonax, they helped Kingpin and Mags defeat the Gods. Afterwards, Mags decided to stay with Kingpin to help rebuild the circus.

Known members of the Circus included Juniper Berry (AUDIO: The Psychic Circus) Bellboy, the chief clown, Kingpin (aka Deadbeat), Flowerchild, Morgana, the Ringmaster, the robot clowns and Dumbo. (TV: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)
