'Rusty' the steed:
'Rusty' is constructed, as you can see, from a bicycle frame. However, the hubs on the wheels are off centre which gives an up and down movement as if riding a horse.

This is an old circus clown prop which has been updated and used intelligently.

Honest Doc. Gladstone

A Wacky Wild West creation

Be transported back to the Wild West when cowboys and con men went hand in hand, to a time of Dodge City and Doc. Holiday. Lawlessness and unscrupulous fraudsters abounded, thus opening the doors for that most quintessentially Western phenomenon, the ubiquitous Medicine Show.

A visual 'walkabout' and fast talking, audience grabbing act, in one unique character.

Doc. and his 'Rusty Steed' ride into town pulling a miniature covered wagon; as soon as a group of likely looking citizens is spotted, Doc. dismounts and starts talking whilst opening up the wagon. The talking doesn't stop for ten minutes or so, during which time lots of magic tricks and funny visual gags have been performed to illustrate the elixirs and potions on offer.

Honest Doc. Gladstone, the act, in the tradition of the Medicine Show, is quick, snappy and to-the-point. Guaranteed to entertain and leave 'em wanting more.
