thing the Wizard ays his htnl on necessarilt undergoes some

Ville the el as of Enter, a nment., presente 1 within its walls will be
as unlike an, th that has is en •wen before a. it .s, os•ittle to cf.n-
ceive. Preparations have been to progress fir many months Oast to
pro luce theca Entertainments on a scale of rnavitude and t xcelle ce
worthy of the " izard's fame a.,d po-u arity. His assistant spirits
have heen ordered to spare no • xnef se in the compounding of th4.l,
.penis ; and the result it is hoped will ha an Enter.a nment which,
'or "start ing effrc•s," w.ll far-put:•trip the witde-t French mel
dram s ; with '` rapid more .urprising that an a lor's play-
ing twenty oarts, io twenty diffe ent dresses ; with tricks more
wonderful than ttto.e of an adplterating tradesman; and " trans•
formtti ,ns" which would make the alchemists of old expire with
envy . _ .

PROFESSOR ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having
coin lot. dth entire circus: of the globe, and vi-it d Airiest every
part of Europe, Am idea. India, and Australia, at.ended everywhere.
with a decree of success unexampled, he believes. in the career of
any in livid nal aspiri g o the titles of a co m po itan artis!e, will give
hi+ extra•irdin iry D .11,A,SEM s MA4 ;IQUEa 'n the above
Theatre for a limited peilcei, iireparatory to his final retir.ment
from punlic life. No ex••rtioa will be spared on hi- part to secure
the contir wince o' •he yuhlic favour which he has hitherto enjoyed
wherever he has presented himself. On the Cominent irom t
Petersbitqf o Mad' id; in America, from Canada to Me ic•i, and
Corn -York to San Fr ineisco ; everywhere, in short. hive the
Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in "astonishing the
natty •s" of the various countries -visited. His- perforirances have
been prtroni-ed •y audiences am milt ng in the Inp•regate to very
many millons ; and •he is the only British Professor of his art
who, In addition to having been honoured by all the foitrts of
Europe, 11,s also been commanded to perform before her Majesty
the QUEEN, .
Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art. beyond its due
deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. He has devoted h mself
tier ye ‘rs to the perfecting it, and rend• ring it more fited '-o amuse
and entertain the public. That he has been successful in his efforts
he thinks, from what he has hail is pretty certain ; indeed a life-
time spent in diligent pur,ult of excellence in any art, Whatever it
may he, can scarcely fa 1 in producing some degree' of efficiency.
it is the result of this long study. that will he piesented at the
Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Ma-41c hitherto unattempted will
be exhibited by the aid.of apparatus oatrivalling any that has b; en
previously constructed.
tn,th r feature in Professor Anderson's Delassemens Magiques
will be a complete disclosure of some of the principal imposti.res of
the age, with ll:ustrations of the mechanism, mystety, ind mischief
of 4pirit-rapping, Tatae.turning, Clairvoyance, and other delusions,
to he citt,sed generally under the now popular head of-the "sell"
theory. In the Wiz 'rd's perormances there WTI be found TAW.,
for those who seek merriment ; mystery, for those w' o fancy the
mysterious ; naiads, es, for the lovers or the paradoxical ; wonders,
for th se who like the wonderful ; atartFng surprise., 'or those eager
for excitement. There will be science 'or he sage, wisdom for the
philosopher, art for the artistic, and cheerfulness for al,. It will be
the Professor's object. in fact. to produce a play ea..h night in which
the audience themselves shall be the actors, and -.which, whatever,
the plot may 1 e, shall certainly be free from the fault of many mo-
dern dramas - the fault of lacking Incident or exciting situations and
unexpected denoueinens.
Such will be the general 'character of the Wizard's Banquet of
Wonders. It will be an ordinary to wh ch he will welcome all.
The VI of fare will shortly be published in the programme now
preparing; and Profess' -r Anderson, the carver of the feast, will
spare no effo- t to please the taste of every uu.-ust who may honour
his table with his presence—cutting it fat or lean as each may ,ish.
The Royal Lyceum Theatre will be °penal by the Wizard of the
North, as his Psycomantheuni, on MONDAY, Septem:•er si.
