From the genius minds and talent of Mental Floss Sideshow comes their latest installation in our Window of Curiosities…
In Toronto’s Leslieville to install the latest in their ongoing series of exhibitions about the mysterious & missing curiosity collectors & showfolk – Professor Archibald Floss & Dr.Charlotte Tann. This month we have unearthed from the archive the equipment used in their early travelling sideshow featuring Feats of Derring-Do!
Be baffled at how Floss might have escaped the bonds of The Straight-jacket! Or lay bare back on the sharp spikes of The Bed of Nails with the weight of a 300lb lumberjack on his chest!? How ever did Dr. Tann tiptoe her dainty toes across The Aisle of Broken Glass!?
Your eyes just might pop when you witness the anatomical demonstration of The Human Blockhead – did Floss have nerves of steel or just a penchant for wanton stupidity?
& our newest episode of our Peculiar Podcast is also up – where you will hear a newly discovered audio recording of Floss & Tann’s show in action! If you can’t make it to see the FREE exhibition in the street side window of the theatre – the podcast link is in comments. Hip! Hip! Huzzah!
Did Dr .Tann’s Snake Oil cure Prof. Floss of his misadventure? Follow the link via the QR code in the window or hop on over to uncomphenom.org/pecpod to listen in for yourself.
