Description: The London Midnight Ghost Show by Robert A. Nelson Complete show script and described effects as used in Nelson's London Midnight Ghost Show that originally sold for the equivalent of over $1,800.00 in today's money. This is the second book in Nelson's Ghost Show Trilogy (the others are "The Ghost Book of Dark Secrets" and "The Ghost Show Operator's Manual.") The Nelson Enterprises framed many spook shows for others, after they launched their own, which was one of the biggest and finest ghost shows ever to take to the road. The London Midnight Ghost Show, in three acts, contains demonstrations of apparent spiritism, including a full-light séance, sealed message reading, clairvoyance, a slate test, thought transference, table levitation, Alla Rageh's spine-chilling ghost story, spirit manifestations in the dark, and more. With this script, which includes the patter and routines, you'll know everything you need to present a ghost or spook show that's equal to any touring act. Nelson claimed that all you need is an assistant, a few rehearsals, and you'll be ready to make real money in the best theaters. This book is not just of interest to performers. Collectors and those interested in the spook show craze will also add it to their "must-have" list. The show script is especially informative, to learn how Nelson set the proper mood and managed audience expectation throughout the performance. While the original Nelson Enterprises manuscript contained mostly patter material, this revised and enlarged edition contains three new chapters, fourteen added illustrations, plus a description of the various effects (many that you already own). Plus, in most cases, the methods are explained, too. Are you a Nelson collector? This book was listed as No. 460 in the Nelson Enterprises catalog. 2021 revised and enlarged reprint of the 1937 Nelson edition, sold originally as the "Century Mid-Night Ghost Show" and later renamed to the "London Midnight Ghost Show." Features three added chapters, 14 illustrations, plus scores of corrections and updates. Soft covers, saddle-stitched, 40 pages plus supplement.
