Preview


It’s 1906, the Golden Age of Magic. London’s greatest illusionist, The Masked Magician, vanishes mid-performance. Dead? Kidnapped? In hiding?


Baffled, Scotland Yard calls in Sherlock Holmes (with an excitable Watson in tow) to solve the mystery. Holmes plunges into the secret world of Edwardian Magic, quickly discovering that the Magician's identity is the biggest secret of all.


As they interrogate peers and unravel clue after clue, the mystery deepens. Holmes finally uncovers the startling secrets of the Masked Magician, forcing the audience (and Holmes and Watson) to decide: are some mysteries best left as...mysteries!
