A Victorian Parlor
Home

 

During the Victorian Age noted industrialists would invite special guest lecturers and persons of unique talents to present their skills and insights at their homes as part of an evening's muse.  Our offering delivers a series of novel re-enactments of some of the more popular Victorian Era attractions as part of a casual night out of dinning and entertainment.

Each of these programs are based on actual personalities of said period and the kind of Psychic styled demonstrations they presented.  We offer them only as a theatrical enactment and claim no validity pertaining to actual psychic powers.

The Amazing Mr. Reese...

Bertram Reese was one of the most heralded Psychics of the early 20th century whose performance resume' included U.S. Presidents, Czar Nicholas, and numerous other VIPs/dignitaries the world over.  His claim to fame was very simple and straight forward; guests would jot down a question on a small slip of paper known as a "Billet" and each would be mixed about, distributed amongst all present, oft times placed in some rather peculiar and comical "places of holding" with the excuse that such oddity of placement allowed him to "see" and "recall" them better.

In the course of conversation Mr. Reese would begin "picking up" on these individual questions and start "channeling" answers to them... lending particulars to each individual about their lives; past, present & future.

Truly an uncanny demonstrations of psychic prowess that is exceptionally rare in today's world.  A fun-filled post meal demonstration staged regularly at our Mystery Mansion for groups of 12 -- 24 guests with a base cost of $18.00 each + F&B.

An expanded version of this program is available for larger groups. For details please contact us via Email

Hellstromism...

Alexander Hellstrom was endorsed by Houdini himself, as one of the most legitimate Psychic talents he'd ever witnessed.  The technique he brought to the United States in the early 1920s went beyond the phenomena of "Muscle Reading" and was heralded by the scientific community as the most credible form of expressed Telepathy in existence.

In this highly interactive demonstration Craig Browning presents his version of Hellstrom's amazing skills through what he calls "Expanded Intuitional Consciousness"; revealing randomly selected items that are merely thought of by party guests, returning objects to their rightful owners without knowing what belongs to who, even locating hidden items within the room without a single word being uttered.

For Larger Groups this routine can be expanded upon so as to deliver a full hour's intrigue, as Mr. Browning dons a heavy blindfold composed of American Half-Dollars which are taped securely over his eyes, a plate-steel mask and finally, a heavy (triple layered) fabric hood (all can be inspected by guests... absolutely no light can enter in any way)... With this array, Mr. Browning accepts the ultimate challenges of Expanded Intuitional Sight; identifying colors, items held by spectators, and more!

Either program works well with groups of 12 + but works best with groups of under 50 in number.

The base Hellstrom program runs with a rate of $25.00 per person + F&B charges.  The expanded program starts at $35.00 per person + F&B charges. 

Mr. Electric

It is known that one out of about ever 20 people born in the world cannot wear watches, etc. because of a unique bio-electrical-magnetic syndrome they are born with.  In some instances people with this very natural malady cultivate the ability to collect static electricity from the air and project it through their bodies into other things, causing lights of various kinds to light-up, time to stop or move on borrowed watches or even send bolts of lightning literally from their fingertips to a given target.

Craig Browning has taken this natural phenomenon and created around himself one of the most amazing demonstrations you are likely to ever encounter.  Especially in regards to what researchers refer to as Tele or Psychokinetic energy.

Guests are encouraged to bring old silverware, nails, watches, etc. to this performance.  The program works great with audiences of 24 to 150 but can work well with larger groups.

Because of the very real danger element involved and the fact that serious health risks exist to the performer himself this program is only available on a limited basis (no more than two performances a month) and carries a base Full-Evening package price of $150.00 per person (includes food & beverage)
