Faller Model of Revue der Illusionen Sideshow

Revue der Illusionen is likely the only sideshow in the world to be commemorated in an HO plastic model by a commercial company.

 The renowned German model company Faller has been producing models of fun-fair rides and and one time sold a reproduction of the Revue der Illusionen show theater.

The model is no longer being produced and are now sought after collectors items.

We have a few that are being offered as incentives for the crowd-fund we have set up for the show. The crowd-fund is for repairs and maintenance of the show as well as going towards a new truck which is needed because of the new strict European environmental laws. When you donate to the crowd-fund project you not help keep this classic style of entertainment alive you can also get a nifty incentive gift for your trouble. The Faller model is just one of the gifts.

Revue der Illusionen is Back

The show-theater Revue der Illusionen is back on the road under new ownership.

 Its first appearance since being acquired by Paradox Sideshows was the Kustom Kulture Forever festival in Herten, Germany.

The show being set up

Kustom Kulture Forever is an rock-a-billy/classic car/low-brow themed event that demanded an edgier show than would be presented at at kermis/funfair. Although there was a family program in the daytime the festival went long into the night and after the sun went down burlesque dancer Marlene Dúebois  was added to the line-up.

People line up for the night show

The show featured classic fairground illusions the headless lady, the bottomless lady, the floating princess as well as real and shocking fakir show from classic sideshow performer Zamora The Torture King .

The show in action.

Although the show is on the road it needs upkeep and repair as well as a new truck that can pass the current European environmental standards. There is a crowd-funding web-site set up to help keep the show alive and on the road for future generations to enjoy. Take a look at GoFundMe.com/EuropeanSideshow.
