Filming "Find the Lady".
Filming "Find the Lady"
A London Film Production company currently is making a documentary about FAUST & "FIND THE LADY". This world-famous illusion act for which Faust owns the sole performing rights throughout the world since 1960, was rehearsed with a new "Queen of Hearts" and a new lady assistant, and filmed at Pendle Hippodrome theatre in Colne in Lancashire from April 11th to 15th 2011.
At the same time, Pendle Hippodrome's own film maker, John Morgan, also filmed the complete "Find the Lady" illusion for their own archives, and he gave a DVD of it to Faust within a few weeks of filming. Naturally, Faust is absolutely delighted to have his presentation of Amac's "Find the Lady" on film at last! The documentary, when it is released, will be the icing on the cake!
