ILLUSION SHOW SALE.
The Sale of Faust's Great Magic Show from Rented Storage.
As of the 14th September 2007 all FAUST'S magical equipment in RENTED storage has been sold as one lot. Shipped by a road-train (a 7-metre wagon with a 7-metre trailer) to arrive in Spain for unloading at its destination on the 13th. November 2007. Bought by Rodney James Piper, an English magician based in Salou, near Barcelona, in Spain. Mr.Piper now owns sole performing rights throughout the world for David Devant's: The Curious Case, The Window of the Haunted House, The Giant's Breakfast ("Chanticleer"), and The Gollwog Ball.
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.

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?
