The Great and Secret Show by fiveplustwo

The Great and Secret Show

Step into my parlour and allow me to astound you with the magic - no petty slight of hand and misdirection here, only real magic to twist your mind with horror and wonder.
I've always been fascinated by those Victorian age "magicians", along the lines of "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" (for those that have read it). I think I could quite happily have mixed with them and created chaos of my own ;)

@graemestevens
Go chaos!

Instant impact but also lasting enjoyment with all the details. The curtains the coat and the reflections are so pleasing and the books. What's the deal with the books?

September 27th, 2015  
@carla42 Oh right - they're real booked, but they've been read so many times that they just fall open like that...it even impressed me

September 27th, 2015

September 28th, 2015  
Super super super photo! Love it, well done Sir Graeme. Are you recommending Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell then? Always on the lookout for a good book...
September 28th, 2015  
@photohoot Thank you so much, always appreciated
@kerosene Well...I enjoyed it but I make no promises ;)
September 28th, 2015  
where do you find the time to be so damn creative always?!
September 28th, 2015  
@blueberry1222 I think I live in a hole in the space-time continuum sometimes...
September 28th, 2015  
Yes, that time period and the magicians that terrified and fascinated people would have been right up your alley!! I am assuming this would have been the original "TV Reality show"!! FAV for this!
