Hamilton: Séance with Nicholas Wallace

June 25-27 
Everyone loves a good ghost story. This is your chance to be part of one.

In this completely immersive experience, illusionist Nicholas Wallace invites you to join him in exploring the world of the Victorian spirit medium, in what is reliably being called “the first attempt to use an actual séance as part of a theatrical entertainment.”

Review: Nick Wallace's Séance

From The Star:
HAMILTON—“Good evening and welcome to Séance. I don’t know what’s going to happen any more than you do.”

Nick Wallace grins nervously, like Harry Potter paying a late-night visit to Slytherin.

In fact, he does know in part what’s about to happen in the Norman and Louise Haac Studio Theatre of Theatre Aquarius. Wallace has designed this evening of supernatural entertainment, along with director Luke Brown, but it’s true that he has no idea what will transpire when 50 random people interact with supposed spirits during what they reliably call “the first attempt to use an actual séance as part of a theatrical entertainment.”

Hamilton: Séance with Nicholas Wallace

From the Doug Henning Magic Wand Club:
October 30 – November 2 
Local Magician Nicholas Wallace is starring in a theatrical production at the Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton.

Though the belief in ghosts and spirits is exceptionally old, one period in recent history stands out as something special.  In the mid to late 1800’s, millions of people became convinced that they could communicate with the dead.  For many people this belief exists to this day.

You will experience a few theatrical items that grew out of the Séance room.  You will take part in an experiment to contact the dead.  You will be scared.

Nicholas Wallace: The mind reader

Nicholas Wallace will be bringing his show "The mind reader" to the Hamilton Fringe Festival this month.

From the show's Facebook page:
No fancy props, no scantily clad assistants and no special effects, just bamboozling feats of magic and mind reading. Not a serious show, but a serious attempt to present magic and mind reading as a performance art. All these elements combined create a show that is mysterious, challenging and most importantly, entertaining.
NAMED “BEST IN FRINGE” TWO YEARS IN A ROW BY THE HAMILTON FRINGE FESTIVAL.
NAMED “PATRONS PICK” AT THE 2010 LONDON FRINGE FESTIVAL
