IRITUAL
MANIFESTATIONS which have lately been introduced from America, to visit
this country with a view to the exhibition of OCCULT PHENOMENA, on a
scale which, owing to the prevalence of an illiberal spirit of
persecution, has been hitherto unattempted in this or any other country
since the era of Egyptian magic. He is accompanied by three ACTUALLY
POSSESSED MEDIUMS, who will utter responses, and afford correct
information on doctrinal subjects, under the influence of SPIRITS. He
has also, at the expenditure of a considerable sum, secured the
co-operation of a genuine WIZARD and WITCH from Boston, Mass., who will
prove the REALITY OF SORCERY and MAGIC by OCULAR DEMONSTRATION, to the
satisfaction of the most incredulous and determined sceptic.
The WIZARD will evoke the SPIRIT of any DECEASED PERSON who may be
agreed upon by the Party Assembled, and compel it to appear in a visible
form before the eyes of the Spectators, deliver predictions, &c. The
WITCH will perform the much controverted, but undeniable and surprising
feat of RIDING ON A BROOMSTICK; and to illustrate the power of SORCERY
over the elements, will raise a Tempest on a small scale by BREWING A
STORM in a Tea-pot. She will also exhibit the marvellous PHENOMENA of
TRANSFORMATION, by changing herself succesively into the shape of
various animals: after which she will summon her FAMILIARS, in the shape
of CATS, TOADS and SPIDERS, and finally, together with her ATTENDANT
IMPS, VANISH UP THE CHIMNEY. The WITCH and WIZARD are really and truly
what they profess to be, having both of them effected a _bona fide_ sale
of themselves for 100 dollars a-piece to the GREAT MASTER, well known as
the LARGEST SLAVE OWNER OUT OF THE STATES.
The _soiree_ to conclude with the APPEARANCE of the DEUCE himself, whom
the REV. GLENDOWER S. FIBBS will raise in a magic circle upon the
platform, entirely divested of supernatural terrors which might be
calculated to alarm the timid and nervous. The circle will be so
carefully charmed, as to preclude all possibility of his breaking
through it, as effectually as if he were a bear on the top of a pole.
The object of the REV. G. S. F., being to convince the Public of the
fact of Spiritual Existences, will, he trusts, meet with the SUPPORT and
APPROBATION of serious and enlightened minds.
_At home every morning from 10 to 2, for private consultations._
