In Dr Houstoun’s Conjuring you will see effects that created legends and hear stories so remarkable that you will question what is real. Can you trust your judgement, or will these past masters continue to dazzle and deceive? There is only one way to find out… Join me as I pull back the curtain on some of the most incredible magicians of days gone by and share my fascination with the history of magic.
