The Secret World of Charles Dickens: Mirth, Marvels and the Mysterious

Charles Dickens, in addition to being one of the world's greatest writers, was an expert conjurer.  He was also sceptical about spiritualism, which was a popular pastime in the 1800's.

This humourous and mystifying show recreates how Dickens deceived his audiences and why, to quote a famous contemporary, Elizabeth Browning, he was "fond of Ghost stories so long as they were impossible"
