Judas and Magnolia, A husband and wife team of award winning illusionists announced that they will be holding a theatrical Victorian séance, in the basement of the Lemp Bottle Works building, to communicate with the long dead occultist Aleister Crowley.
The show’s setting: The Lemp Bottling Plant was one of the last buildings raised in the brewery complex. Built in 1900, it served as the “Revenue Building”. For years the damp and gloomy basement of this massive structure was sealed off and all but forgotten- trapping within its walls, whatever lonely spirit or spirits lurk in the tunnels below Cherokee Street.
The show’s subject: Aleister Crowley, also known as The Beast or the most evil man who ever lived, was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. A prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life until he died on 1 December 1947.
The show method: This theatrical Victorian séance is an intimate and immersive theatrical experience using the authentic style and techniques of Victorian mediums to recreate a séance of the late 1800s.

For best performance this show needs an area that can be made completely, 100%, absolutely dark. Dark enough that you can not see your hand in front of your face after your eye have adjusted to the darkness.
