Welcome to Sideshow Illusions, a wonderful world of the odd, the sensational, and the bizarre all with a touch of fun and sexiness, bringing Fairground Sideshows back to life.
“On Saturday in one single day an unprecedented 3,000 visitors flocked to the Headless Lady, Goldfish Woman... listening to the chattering reaction, every class, age and type has found something to wonder at in laughter and surprise”
Libby Purves, The Times
Step right this way for the most incredible, the most stupendous and the extraordinary! Be amazed by Gloria, the Living Half-Lady! Witness Yvette, the Headless Lady, kept alive by the miracles of modern science! See Cleo the tiny, bikini-clad Girl in the Goldfish Bowl. Experience the terror, enjoy the creepy delight, be astonished in The Mummy Show as Princess Elmira transforms before your eyes into a hideous, two-thousand-year-old undead mummy monstrosity.
