reasonably affordable (maybe BREXIT Panic has strengthened U$ v. Pound) handmade miniature automata from Mechanical Cabaret Theatre



Watch video in Full Screen Mode.
Brush teeth at least 2 times a day.
Floss after every meal.
Keep away from bootleg hooch
When you're on a spreeeeee
Take good care of yourself

Mechanical Cabaret Theatre is the Best Tourist Trap I have ever been abducted and trapped into. I didn't want to leave. It was / maybe I hope still is / in Covent Garden in London. From the outside as you pass by, it screams 

TOURIST TRAP for the 
UNSOPHISTICATED OUT-OF-TOWN RUBE

That's not exactly what's inside MCT. They lied to the suckers.


There's a small turnstile admission, but they really rake in the Big Bucks with their handmade coin-operated wooden automata. If you want to see the automaton in action, first you must place a Local Coin in a slot on the automaton, and then the crazy thing or things just start doing all sorts of odd things you've never seen a machine even try to do or think about doing. 

MCT is Crazy Weird Useless Machine Place. It's like DisneyWorld with issues and behavioral difficulties and should get professional help or maybe prescription pills from Big Pharma. 

But I went in there and just Enabled MCT's troubles with tourist coin after coin after coin. So CMT is not getting any professional help with its problems any time soon. This month they have a wildly popular exhibit in China.

Should I buy this for S.W.M.B.O.? She just LOVES the dentist, begs him for More Appointments rather than Fewer. If you have Feelings about The Dentist or Dental Hygienist, Leave A Comment.
