A Gift from Prince Albert to Magician Professor Anderson

"Presented by Prince Albert to Professor Anderson in testimony of the prince's approval of the classical arrangements of the Grand Fete in conjunction with Professor Anderson's own extraordinary performances on the occasion of Prince Albert's birthday 26th of August, 1849."

(John Henry Anderson, known worldwide as “The Wizard of the North” was a Scottish magician. He performed for Prince Albert and Queen Victoria at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. He also performed for them in London the very same year.)

Show Times for my Magical Dickens Fair appearance

This First Weekend of the Dickens Fair I’ll be doing shows at
11:30am and 5:00pm on Sunday.

In the following 4 weeks we may add a mid-afternoon show as well.

A reminder that the Dickens Family Parlor is very small so I recommend getting into the queue early on.
Hope to see you! — 

at The Great Dickens Christmas Fair.

Here I am (invisible) performing in front of the fireplace in the Dickens Family Parlor...

Meet Prof. John Henry Anderson, The Great Wizard of the North the next 5 Sundays.

You'll be a Wizard too!

Longtime friend, colleague, and wizard, Tobias Beckwith’s book “The Wizard’s Way” has gone to press. I’ve had the privilege of following his journey from concept to fruition. 

If you’d like to “become a wizard” transforming your personal or professional life, check out his Kickstarter project that will allow you to snag and autographed copy hot off the press.
