STRAND THEATRE.
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.

The GREAT WIZARD of the NORTH'S Temple of Magic
is nightly honoured with crowded, brilliant, and fashionable
audiences, who gaze in breathless astonishment at his incredible
wonders of incomprehensible Magical Phenomena.
On THIS EVENING (SATunnAv), FEB. 15, 1840, and
every evening during next week, the GREAT WIZARD of the
NORTH will perform his Hundred Feats of Magic ! Leger-
demain ! Necromancy ! and Black Art !
The whole of this unparalleled Performance will conclude
with the most Wonderful Feat ever attempted by living Man,
of which the Great Wizard of the North is the Sole Inventor.

THE GUN TRICK,
Of which unique and brilliant Exploit he is the Absolute In-
ventor, and it is so perfect a delusion as almost to justify the
suPposition of his INVULNER &BILITY. In this splendid
invention he distinctly assures the Public that the extraordinary
Mystery of the Trick is not effected by the aid of any Accom-
plice, or by inserting a tube in the muzzle of the Gun, or by
other conceivable devices (as the Public frequently,
and in some instances correctly, imagine), but that
any Gentleman may really load the Gun in the usual
manner, inserting, himself, a MARKED REAL LEADEN
BALL ! ! The Gun being then fired off at the Wizard, he
will instantly produce and exhibit the same Bullet in his HAND.
The above, although a most extraordinary deception, one that
creates greater speculation than the others, is not a pleasing
experiment, particularly to Ladies ; consequently, it will not be
performed. till all the other delusions are finished.
Boxes, 2s. 6d.—Pit, Is. 6d —Gallery, Is.
