Lectures for bizzarists.
The lectures and effects below have been kindly sent here by some of the leading performers of Bizarre and Storytelling Magick and are intended for relative newcomers to this performing art. Having said that, all readers should find many things of interest here or in the new 'Arts & Crafts' area. Just click on the underlined links below to go to the lecture of your choice. For more lectures, magicians (only) can visit 'The Secret Passages' which is a password protected area. |
