The Professor, creator of Pandemonium Sideshow performs
first ever in the world (or at least documented) the sideshow art of
"Mental Floss" with 120 volts of electricity via electrical wire. In the
nose and out the mouth an electrical cord is fed then plugged into your
standard household outlet. "The appliance powered possibilities are
endless" he explains "It could be a vacuum cleaner, a toaster oven, or
even a television set, the list goes on." In this case a strobe light
is powered and he has named the act "The Human Lamp". Before attempting
this feat The Professor noted to say "If all goes as planed, I will not
be lobotomized!"By trade The Professor is an engineer, designer, and
fabricator that has worked in the industry of film, television, and
theatre as a prop master and special effects technician and uses his
skills to create amazing sideshow devices and acts that have never been
done before ever.
