Experience 'The Spirits Speakeasy' in New York

Here's one I almost missed! A new immersive Houdini play, The Spirits Speakeasy, opens tonight, September 19, at Sincerely, Ophelia in New York City. It will play through November 3, 2024. Below are details:

The Spirits Speakeasy summons you to step through the secret speakeasy door as a personal guest of the renowned Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Prepare to be enthralled by an evening that seamlessly blends magic with the supernatural—and a dash of bitters.

At the heart of the soirée, witness the enigmatic Margery (played by Krystyn Lambert), a medium whose powers are the talk of the town, as she faces the ultimate challenge—convincing none other than the skeptic Harry Houdini (played by Patrick Terry) of her genuine connection to the world beyond through a series of supernatural tests.

Will she turn Houdini into a believer? Or better yet, you? The talking board says YES.

Guests will be enveloped in an atmosphere reminiscent of the golden age of magic and spiritualism with close-up magic and intimate access to one of the three séances. The Spirits Speakeasy offers a meticulously curated selection of period-specific cocktails, designed to enhance the otherworldly ambiance of the evening.


The evening also features Rori Nogee as Bess, Lee Alan Barrett as Howard Thurston, and Brian Silliman as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This is Patrick Terry's second appearance as Houdini. He first played the magician in the 2017 production Houdini Speaks To The Living.

You can get more information and buy tickets at The Spirits Speakeasy's official website.
