THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH

Commenced hia Wonders last night to a brilliant, fashiona-
ble, and crowded audience. Hundreds wei e turned f,rom the
doors who could not gain admission. He willOttinue to
work his Wonders every Evening during the 19a.

THE Great Wizard of the North, IL .H. ANDER-
SON, Father of all the Magi, fro
ar re Strand Theatre,
London, where he performed 150 .rglits before 200,000
Spectators in 1840 ' • at the St. James's Bazaar 50 Nights,
before Li.: first of England's Nobility; from whence he was
summoned to Buckingham Palace, where he performed
before the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Court ! finished on
Saturday, September 4th, a season unparalled for success at
the Adelphi Theatre, where he has, for Five Months, per-
formed his Wonders before 300,000 Spectators.
The Liver Theatre has been transformed by the Metamor-
phestian Chrysostum of die Great Primordial, into a GOR-
GEOUS PALACE OF ENCHANTMENT, realising in the Mag-
nificent Decorations and Dazzling Galaxy of Unparalleled
Apparatus all the glories and awe-inspiring splendour of
Arabian Romance. Here the nobler metals, joined with the
sparkling treasures of the East, have exhausted their stores
in producing a coup d' veil hitherto unapproachable in value
or effect.

This Mysteriachist of the Nineteenth Century, has drawn
from the pregnant Tomb of Antiquity all the quintessence.
of Memphian Cryptology, the Nyclapolsisian Powers of
Theban Occultomancy, and Gordian Cabala of Gangeatic
Dexterological Sinistratology, defying the nicest discrimi.

are performed with a most Gorgeous and Costly

- APPARATUS OF SOLID SILVER!
The Mysterious and Mechanical Construction of which is
upon a secret principle hitherto unknown in Europe. Th is
xtraordinary Mechanical Secret has baffled the Scientific-
he Philosophers; and defiance is given to all Modern Co}
urors to discover or divine the impenetrable Secrets of tl Ie
PECULIAR ONE of a Peculiar Profession. The surpris ed
Thousands who have witnessed the incredible Wonders pi
formed by the GREAT WIZARD, one and all exclaim—
" You'd think (so far his art transcends) the De'il was in his
fingers' ends."
The GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH is the only living P ro-
fessor of Delusion who can, by ocular demonstration, ill us-
trate the words of Shakspere—
" Mine eyes are made the fools o' other senses,"
which power the WIZARD OF THE NORTH possesses ove r all
his Predecessors. He has brought the Science of
AMBIDEXTROUS PRESTIDIGITATION
to perfection; to accomplish which task he has spent ten
tears of his life, and
EXPENDED FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS !
PUFFING IS UNNECESSARY, as the wonderful success that
has in every place crowned the exertions of the GREAT WI-
ZARD OF THE NORTH, with the opinions of the London
Press (copies of which will be presented), at once proclaim
the wonderful nature and superiority, as well as strictly mo-
ral tendency of this unparallelled Entertainment.
