Three by R. Shane

More strange magic to engage and entertain!

A man who forgets what it means to be human, a spectator who may be more than she seems, a legendary and quite dead lover seeking an evening’s diversion, the real and quite visible essence of nightmares — all of these and more await the intrepid in “Three”, the latest volume of strange magic!

16 routines of frightening, weird, and fun magic!

• Capture a spectator’s nightmare, visibly, and give it to them as a dark reminder of what sleep brings!
• Allow a quite dead legendary lover prove that, though deceased, a cad is still a cad!
• Show why an old man’s tears are shed for something no one would imagine!
• Discover what happens when we stop the quaint tradition of paying the ferryman to cart our dead across the Styx!
• Put aside predicting headlines and chosen cards and show there are much more important — and grisly — things to predict
• Visit a legend of Old Japan and a judicial court like no other!

And that’s just the beginning of the things you’ll find in — and perform from — Three!
