This
attraction begins with a beautifully decorated museum of brightly colored, and mystical magic props and apparatus, plus a small
museum gift shop. Guests who elect to watch the stage show, are treated first to a brief video presentation featuring celebrity
magicians describing three of magic's most outstanding performers from the past that will include * Harry Houdini.
"Masters of Magic"
culminates with a 20 minute stage show hosted by two zany young brothers who go by the name of "The
Brothers Houdini". The stage show features the three great magicians described in
the video presentation (animatronics versions of themselves) who perform their great illusions on stage for your live audience.
* NOTE: We have already secured written permission from the estate of Harry Houdini that allows us to include his likeness and animatronic character, in the 'stage show' segment of this attraction.

The museum
of magic highlights Magic's Great Performers (Houdini, Blackstone,
etc.) using full-color wall-size advertising billboards that
depict magicians of the 19th & 20th century. Strategically
placed around the room, are antique display cases, which contain
accurate reproductions of famous magic apparatus (tricks, boxes,
handcuffs, props, etc.). Suspended above are full-sized reproductions
of some famous stage illusions. The museum is a feast for the
eyes, and guests can enter or exit freely without committing
to attend the video presentation, or stage show.
At one end of the museum is the gift shop where Masters of Magic souvenirs will be offered for
sale. As a way of supporting the
"branding" process, other items will be available at
this location that support The Brothers Houdini.
|
Although
souvenirs sold in the magic museum gift shop may be based
on a magical theme, legitimate magic tricks will only be sold
at the magic shop next door to the "Masters of
Magic" attraction.
|

Located in
a small theatre with a wall sized video monitor, guests will see a pre-recorded,
sit-down presentation that will introduce some of history's most famous illusionists. This video is a precursor to a stage show held in the main theatre.
|

The
main theatre show is hosted by the Brothers Houdini (two animatronics characters).
The two brothers narrate the show which includes performances
from animatronics figures representing the three magicians described in the video presentation. These figures will
perform their most
noteworthy stage illusions.
The show will be packaged with a dynamic music score. When the show concludes the curtains
close, and the Brothers Houdini will wrap-up the performance,
the lights come up, and the audience will be directed to the
exits.
|

The exit doors for The "Masters
of Magic" performance lead guests into a common hallway that
leads directly to "Dante's Magic Shop", where contemporary
magic tricks will be demonstrated and offered for sale by cast
members (your staff).
