After a tour of magician David P. Abbott’s historic home, experience a magic performance based on Abbott’s book Behind The Scenes With The Mediums - featuring sixty minutes of magic tricks based on Abbott’s popular 1907 expose of fake mediums - preying on the bereaved and their hopes of hearing a message from a deceased loved one.
Refreshments served following the show.

You and your guests will experience a highlight from David Abbott’s own show where a portrait slowly and mysteriously materializes inside a frame on a previously blank and initialed canvas.
For an extra fee this portrait can be customized to surprise a guest of honor in your group. Then this portrait can be given to them as a gift and memento of this surprising and memorable experience.
The show is typically presented on the second floor of The Abbott House. Nevertheless if necessitated for easier accessibility, arrangements can be made for performance on the first floor. Please indicate your request for this accommodation in the submission form below.
There are no strobe lights or loud noises in the show.
A minimum number of 7 people in your group maximizes the experience for all.
