After two and a half months on the road The Not-So-Fatal Death of Grandpa Fredo packs up its shed and takes a rest. But as there’s no rest for the wicked Jamie and Candice are straight into developing the next VM show.
We’re exploring Victorian séance parlours – especially the rise and fall of the (in)famous Davenport Brothers who travelled the world performing magical feats by contacting ‘the spirit world’. Jamie’s in his element researching spectacular Victorian illusions. He also gets to gloat a lot as Candice tries to figure out how they’re done.
One of our favourite finds so far has been Derren Brown: Séance. Put aside an hour, dim the lights and prepare for the hairs on the back of your neck to stand upright. That said, we watched it in broad daylight and it still had the desired effect!

We’re aiming to stage a Work-in-Progress in January/February 2011 so watch this space…
