It is the night of 19th November , 1995. The sky over the small market town of Wem in Shropshire is glowing a violent orange. The historic Town Hall is burning to the ground. But amidst the roaring flames and falling timbers, a local photographer captures something that shouldn’t exist. Developing his film, he finds a clear, black-and-white image of a young girl, standing calmly in the heart of the inferno, staring directly at him. But was this a visitor from the grave, or a trick that fooled the experts for fifteen years?
The Effect
The astonishing spectacle that leaves the public - and often law enforcement - in awe. These effects may appear to be truly impossible, and the work of magic, but behind each one lies an ingenious solution.
The Method
The secret techniques and misdirection that remain concealed from the untrained eye. Will Lora and Barry be able to bring these hidden workings to the fore, and reveal the smoke and mirrors behind the real-life mysteries they examine?
Lora Jones
We discuss lots of bizarre methods.
An unexpected illusion on a grand scale.
Barry Jones
We disclose far too many crime methods in this one!
I share how easy it is for a magician to tamper with 'unbreakable' seals.
