ILLUSION SHOW SALE.

The Sale of Faust's Great Magic Show from Rented Storage.

Here is a sequence of photographs showing the transportation of Faust's Great Magic Show from rented storage in a building on a farm near to where he lives, to be stored in three containers, prior to being trucked over to the buyer in Spain by a 7 metre wagon with a 7 metre trailer attached.

Above photograph shows the view from near the building where the equipment was stored. Pendle Hill, famous for the Lancashire Witches, is in the background.

Granville Taylor (Faust the Magician) says "Sayonara" to his "Great Magic Show". Appropriately, the Spanish trucking company is called "EXIT"! Stage left or stage right?
