The Ferris wheel car reached the top and stopped, swaying slightly, as Cabaret scribbled in the diary, Glancing out the window he noticed The faceless at the bottom -addendum: I'll need to find someone to continue my legacy. - He wrote, ending it with a splash of ink which could be called a signature, and lit the bomb's fuse about three-quarters of the way down. Then he pitched the diary out of the window alerting the faceless to him, he dropped the ink on the faceless as started to leap up the side towards him offering a momentary distraction and giving the fuse some more time to burn down and clutched bomb to his chest as the faceless crashed onto the car, the added weight causing it to break free of its moorings and fall towards the centre of the structure. The faceless smashed its way through the roof and leapt at Cabaret, who merely grinned at the thing, while the fuse reached the end of its short journey just as the edge of the faceless reached him.
The last thing the magician felt was a ring pull tab firing itself through his head and the last thing he heard was the mental screech of rage from the faceless as the bomb, more-or-less, annihilated his upper body and head in a corona of fire and metal fragments.
The power the bomb had held would have surprised the magician had he lived to see it, the explosion completely destroying the car and launching the stunned faceless clean into the hall of mirrors, which was at least halfway across the park form the Ferris wheel. The centre part of Ferris wheel had been destroyed as well, causing the struts on either side to collapse and throw the wheel's the cars were mounted on to fall outwards, destroying several groups of stalls that were near the Ferris wheel. Cabaret's last mortal remains (except his mask which was with Maxwell), a smoking trainer, managed to bounce and land upright in the area where Cabaret had started this, ending up in a position that would have been highly comical had there not been a foot still inside. The firestorm was visible to the surviving contestants and the force of the explosion also pushed the book so it ended up at Galus's feet causing him to look down.
Cabaret had always wanted to go out with a bang.
