TKKUOOSASX AJSSOVSCBMEST ^ —WmTSB . 8 KASON , 1855 . THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH Vuwti most resnectftilly to announce that this favourite place ^« SS ^ U O 5 PEN on MONDAY , Beptember 8 , K , " JZZ kusDices , and with & series of Extraordinary jSorn ^ ce ^ A ^ eryWng the Wizard lays his hand on necessarily undergoes some startling change , the . Lyceum Theatre will by a wave of his Magic- Wand , be instantly transformed into the Wizard ' s Psyoomantheum ; -while the class of Entertainments presented within its walls will be as unlike anything that has been seen before as ifris possible to conceive . Preparations have been in progress for many months past to produce these Entertainments on a scale of magnitude and excellence worthy of the "Wizard ' s fame and popularity . His assistant spirits nave been ordered to spare no expense in the compounding of their spells ; and the result , it is hoped , will be an Entertainment which , for " startling effects , ' * will far outstrip the wildest French melodrama ; with " rapid changes" more surprising than an actor's playing twenty parts in twenty different dresses ; with . " tricks more wonderful than those of an adulterating tradesman ; and •* transformatidns" which would make the alchemists of old expire with envy . Peomssob Andebson ( the Great "Wizard of the North ' having completed- the entire circuit of the globe , and visited almost every part of Europe , America , India , and Australia , attended everywhere with a degree of success unexampled , he believes , in the career of any individual aspiring to the title of a cosmopolitan artist , will give his extraordinary DELASSEMENTS MAGIQUES in the above Theatre for a limited period , preparatory to his final retirement from public life . No exertion will be spared on his part to secure the continuance of the public favour which he has hitherto enjoyed wherever he has presented himself . On the Continent , from St . Petersburg to Madrid ; in America , from Canada to Mexico , and from New York to San Francisco ; everywhere , in short , have the Wizard ' s marvels succeeded most effectually in " astonishing the natives" of the various countries visited . His performances have been patronised by audiences amounting in the aggregate to very many millions ; and he is the only British Professor of his art who , in addition to having been honoured by all the Courts odf Europe , has also been commanded to perform before her Majesty the Qwees . "Without attempting to exalt the Professor ' s art beyond its due deserts , let it suffice to say it is his arfl » He has devoted himself for years to the perfecting it , and rendering it more fitted to amuse and entertain the public . That he has been successful in his efforts he thinks , from what he has said , is pretty certain ; indeed a lifetime spent in diligent pursuit of excellence in any art , whatever it may be , ( can scarcely fail in producing some degree of efficiency . It is the result of this long study that will be presented at the Lyceum Theatre . Feats in Modern Magic hitherto unattempted will be exhibited by the aid of apparatus , outrivalling any that have been previously constructed . Another feature in Professor Anderson ' s DSlassemenis Magiqu . es will be a complete disclosure of some of the principal impostures of the age , with illustrations of the mechanism , mystery , and mischief of Spirit-rapping , Tableturning :, Clairvoyance , and other delusions , to be classed generally under the now popular head of the " sell " theory . In the Wizard ' s performances there will be found mirth , for those who seek merriment ; mystery , for those who fancy the mysterious ; paradoxes , for the lovers of the paradoxical ; wonders , for those who like tho wonderful ; startling surprises , for those eager for excitement . There will be science for the sage , wisdom for tho philosopher , art for the artistic , and cheerfulness for all . It will be the Professor ' s object , in fact , to produce a play each night in which the audience themselves shall be the actors , and which , whatever the plot may be , shall certainly bo free from the fault of many modern dramas , —the fault of lacking incident or exciting situations and unexpected denouements . Such will be the general character of the Wizard ' s Banquet of Wonders . It will be an ordinary to which ho will welcome all . The bill of fare will shortly bo published in the programme now preparing ; and Professor Anderson , tho carver of the feast , will spare no effort to please tho taste of every guest who may honour his table with his presencecutting it fat or lean as each may wish . ThedBoyal Lyceum . Theatre will bo oponed by the Wizard of theTNorth , as his Psycomantheum , on MONDAY , September the 3 rd .
