Sideshow, Fair & Flea Market Attractions
'Where Myth Meets The Road'

Great for Medicine Shows, Buskers, Magicians, Ren Fairs etc. Makes the $$!

Note! eMAIL for Pricing and Availability!

7 of the 'Zibits' were on an Incredible, Unprecidented, Exclusive Royal Exhibition Tour of the UK for a Major Charity!
Sideshow History was made! It IS the Unprecedented
Royal Tour! The exact same Show Plan Higley devised for the US showmen and became the Flea Market STANDARD also worked for this HUGE Charity Tour.

Doug has created the best gaffs on earth for more years (since 1971) and for more Pro Showmen/Women than anyone on the planet. Period. NOBODY knows the Single-O GrindShow biz like the Phantom Of The Midway. The GrindShow HOW-TO Manual became the absolute standard of this industry, and changed the way Grindshows are done .

"Without these Ideas, you're still a punter and a wannabee... besides, Doug is a Living National Treasure'

The Phantom of the Midway has helped more people get into the Flea Market/Small Fair Grindshow Biz and be Successful at it than any one EVER...ANYWHERE!

Note: Doug's Props offer the 'essence' of something as most theatrical and film props are and are not actually Forensic intentional. The idea is for something that can pass exposure under the conditions and dynamics of a Grind Show Illusion as opposed to being studied by say, a classroom biology session. How REAL are they? Well, REALISTIC is more accurate in the fleeting use in performance and acceptibility of the general public. "I try and not give the impression to a potential buyer that the props are anything but Props that can creep out the intended 'victims' during the routine. The props work like any Illusion and must be presented so that they retain their essence and of course the Illusion itself. Having said that...my props in shows all over the world HAVE been studied and seen by the VERY well educated and in all cases passed muster! (See the Royal Tour link above for an example.)" IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Absolutely NO Animal or Human parts are used. Everything is hand made to order by Doug using man made materials.

Call them what you will...My Custom Feegee (or Fiji or FeeJee) Mermaids are not made using ANY animal parts whatsoever. I call 'em 'Mers' and like all my 'Zibits' they are of 100% man made materials I'm proud to say.

                    A Single-O 'Grind Show' is like having your own little Sci-Fi or Adventure movie show, except, you are presenting your 'story' LIVE...But it is of the same purpose, to entertain and create a sense of wonder in the viewer and for some maybe a bit of nostalgia as well...keeping the paying customer HAPPY and AMAZED and hopefully scratching their head in wonder, wrinkling a brow and even cracking a smile... True Showmen have fun and make a few bucks along the way while entertaining their 'audience'. It is a show tradition going back to the 1600's. The Flea Market and Small Fair IS just the NEW Midway...step this way...
