Yep,,,but ya get what you pay for,,, I have the small and large Mossman with hand painted backdrop,,,recouped the costs on the first 3 outings so now been in pure profit for quite a while.
Also believe it or not the crowds are made up of mainly adults,,,many of whom insist that they can see the fleas and the whole thing is for real!!! Crazy, but true. Ken. |

Ken...I contacted Svensons, and recieved a prompt reply...I was amazed at the price...Very reasonable(the quality is outstanding) Thank you again for this...as I am seriously considering purchasing one...I think it would make the Sideshow more Family Freindly......Best JZ

Martin Duffy is a good man, he will see you right.
Never thought it would work in a sideshow,,,still nothing ventured nothing gained. The Acme show and Doc Wilson I believe do well on your patch and could proberly advise you well on this. Ken. |

Ken, Martin asked where I heard of them..I credited you on The Café...Right now I just trying to Figure out how to pay (Transfer Deposit to UK) The beauty of a Svenson is it looks mysterious and Old (The Box I chose) Many Familys come into my show and this would be Ideal for them, Plus I have a Banner Idea already...and the Best part is...It becomes a Museum piece when just on display! (The Quality is that GOOD!)......Best JZ

What I've heard is that the Munich flea circus is REAL. By "REAL" I mean something like... ...ah...**** **. I'm off to pee in the bed again. Bed-wetters get no respect from curators these days. |

Jim, it might be easy to transfer money, if both parties use PayPal.

Try a couple of the banks there. Call first. Some deal with foreign currency. Some don't. If they do, you can get a cashier's check.

Curator, which circus are you planning to buy? The cigar box or a big one? Just curious. I think a flea circus would work great in your show. Are you going to work it yourself? I would love to have one myself, I think the cigar box version would be the world's handiest little show.

I think you should use Madagascar hissing cockaroaches and tell everybody that it's a flea circus on steroids.

Hi all,
if anyone really wants to host a REAL Flea Circus I can make the props, but be warned its NOT easy to harness fleas and another problem is that human fleas are hard to find these days. a few weeks ago I made a set of real props for Marco Assmann in Germany, he is being featured in a half hour documentry on German TV with his mossman circus and his new REAL flea circus, but he is having problems getting decent sized fleas too I think. I made his props extra light weight so he can use cat or dog fleas as they are smaller than human ones, but weaker too. there is a picture of the props in the gallery page on my site http://www.svensons.co.uk BTW, thanks for the compliments on svensons circuses. Best wishes, Eric. (svensons) |
