Abbott's Spectacular Finale. 

Marvellous ending to a show, this.

One of those vroomph things where the crowd goes wow and your bank account goes pow.

Things drop, things fly out, things woodle and whap. Bang-a-rooney.

The very elderly man in the image is Australian Percy Abbott the man who created the largest magic apparatus and illusion company in America and sold to the globe. He did not live long after this picture and he died in 1959. So dynamic they called him the Caliph of Colon. 

Colon, the tiny town in Michigan he, more or less, took over to make some of the best illusions in history. And he was a superb entertainer to boot. To sandal too.
