WONDERFUL AND SCIENTIFIC ENTERTAINMENT,
OF
TRANSPARENT MAGIC!

Consisting of Feats never before attempted by any other Prolessor
of the Art, the principal of the apparatus used being of TRANS..
PARENT GLASS; and what adds greatly to the novelty of
the Entertainment, most of his tricks are performed
IN THE MIDST OF -THE ARDIENCS.I

And in such a manner as to defy the most penetrating to discover
how the various feats are accomplished.
_

Professor 11. is the only person vho has -ever been known to
perform the most astonishing descriptions of Illusions entirely
WITHOUT THE Am OF CONFEDERATES.
_Extracts from the London Press.
- - -

Era, March 27, 1859.—A new candidate, and one who is likely to
distance all competitors, has lately appeared in the arena of Magic
and Mystery. It would require a catalogue or necessitate the
printing of his prospectus, to convey an idea of the great number,
or give an inkling of the character of the tricks exhibited.
Morning Chronicle, March 21, 1859.—0 n Tuesday, the youthful
Wizard won our hearty applause by the dexterity of his manipu-
lation, and the really astounding manner in which he executed
many of those feats which we have seen before carried out by the
aid of a confederate or covered tables, but which he now performed
in the most neat manner, without the apparent assistance of a
co-juggler or veiled machinery.
Morning Star, March 24, 1852.—We are at a loss to divine the
meaning which the Cabalistic Professor attaches to the word
•" transparent." If he means to assert that his tricks are easily seen
through, we must at once beg to differ with him.
Morning Advertiser, March 22, 1859. He is unrivalled in his
dexterity, and in the extreme simplicity of his operations.
Standard and Morning Herald, March 24.—That Mr. Hart is a
perfect master of Magic and Mystery no one can doubt, and the
clever manner in which he performed several astonishing feats;
more especially that of the " column and glove," brought down
shouts of applause. _

Atlas, March 26,1859.—The Professor is a young Wizard, yet he
says he has devoted many years of hard study to master his art;
and certainly, when one witnesses the case with which he performs
his wonderful experiments, he must now be ranked_as an adept.
His apparatus is very simple and transparent.
Metropolitan _Yews, Feb. 12, 1859. A great peculiarity in his
entertainment consists in the fact of the greater portion of the
apparatus used bring of transparent glass, and although we
examined the crystal vases, &c., we were left completely in the
dark as to how the various illusions were accomplished, so dex-
terously were they executed. _
_Examiner, March /6, 1859.—Mr. Hart is a beginner, with the
skill of an adept ;he is master of the tricks he shows. There is no
shortcoming about any one of them ; he deceives all eyes with his
sleight of hand, and now and then ingeniously puzzles all heads
with the neatness of his machinery.
Weekly Times, March 26, 1859.—Mr. Hart is remarkable for the
dexterity of his execution, his sleight of hand being equal, if not
superior, to any we have seen. Ile performs his tricks iu the
simplest manner, and so as to completely baffle the eye of the
spectator.

Sunday Times, March 26, 1859.—Every body was astounded on
Tuesday evening, the more so, inasmuch as the operator did not
possess those facile conversational powers which rendered Frikell
so great an attraction. The tricks, however, were as well per-
formed as Frikell himself could have done them, but they were done
Without any apparent manipulation or confederacy, and we have no
doubt that Professor's Hart's Magic performances will prove a great
attraction to the sight-seeing world.

Doors open at Half-past 7, to commence at 8 o'clock ; carriages
