In , David Blaine spent 44 days in a plexiglass box suspended above the River Thames. When Harry Houdini arrived in London from America in , he was completely unknown.
Only a few months later, his show at the Alhambra Theatre was a sensation, booked solid for six months. What did the Londoners see in him? Perhaps it was his ability to escape from a pair of handcuffs supplied by the legendary home of the London police, Scotland Yard. As Sherlock Holmes knew, this feat was beyond many a red-handed Cockney.
Magic was a global sensation in those days, though before Houdini it was mainly combined with the seances of the Spiritualist movement. They arrived in and held nightly seance shows. Their big trick was to be tied up and placed inside a large box along with various musical instruments. The lights went down and the instruments were played — by the spirits of the dead, the Davenports claimed.
The Davenports went from causing a sensation to causing a riot. They were exposed numerous times as fakes, but they were oblivious to disgrace — until their tour hit the buffers in the provinces. I will certainly recommending you to anyone needing a first class magician. Back from honeymoon and finally taking stock of all that happened at Eltham Palace. Right at the top of our priority list is to let you know the fabulous feedback that we have had from all our friends who were mesmerised and traumatised!
We absolutely loved it too, of course. A real highlight of our spectacular day! It has been the subject of phone calls and e-mails, so Nicola and I would like to thank you again and we will make sure that we name-drop when the occasion arises as we want others to share our enjoyment. A massive thank you. Chris and Nicola Holmes, London. We booked Alan to mingle amongst our guests at our wedding reception.
I am very pleased to say it was worth every penny. His close up tricks were nothing short of exceptional and there were many squeals of delight and astonishment throughout the afternoon from our confused, bewildered and thoroughly entertained guests.
His banter was really funny too. Jen Lawrence, London. There were around guests in various different rooms throughout the house and Alan managed to work his way around all of them, amazing everyone with his tricks. He should have his own TV show! Steve, Guitar Village , London. You were terrific and we really loved having you there. The mind-reading and the bottle through the table. All very popular as was your spontaneous sense of humour.
It was all really fantastic and we have been talking about how fun it was since then. It made me feel like a kid again.
