That picture is inspiring me to make my Diorama for the Dioramarama

This attraction entitled "Snake Woman" illusion was a part of the Ten-in-One style traveling sideshow of the World of Wonders by Ward Hall and Chris Christ. Their show has been featured in sideshowworld.com now and then.

Not all the sideshow is freakshow or oddity shows. Some of them are optical illusions and acrobatic shows.

Last January (2007), I created a commissioned 9x9 feet sideshow banner of "Snake Girl" illusion of another sideshow company, Four C Productions in Florida. Here is the link featuring dozens of photos showing how I painted it step by step.
