James L. Clark Presents....
As one of the world's foremost purveyors of chicanery and subterfuges of the mind, master mentalist and psychic entertainer James L. Clark has amazed audiences around the world on television, the stage, and at intimate affairs. His theatrical recreation of an authentic Victorian era Séance is one of his most acclaimed and sought after performances. During the production, James demonstrates such remarkable feats as clairvoyance, mental telepathy,   and communing with the dead. Many of the "spirits" who come forth are often known to the audience directly , are James' own loved ones, and during several occasions two men who were prominent in the early 20th-Century Séance scene—the magician Harry Houdini, who rekindled his career by exposing fraudulent mediums, and Sherlock Holmes' creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle—an ardent  "true believer" and champion of the Spiritualist medium's cause, come forward.  This is a classic "things that go bump in the night" Séance experience, that's sure to provide an evening of mysterious and thrilling entertainment—but it's not for the faint of heart.


Spookapalooza is Sponsored by Our Friends at Ghostly Talk Radio 

1936 Houdini Séance -- As it was Recorded!
Discover a rare, live recording of a 1936 Houdini Séance, the last one carried out by the magician's wife, Bess Houdini. This séance was broadcast on the radio all over the world and is an eerie precursor to the events that will follow on Halloween 2009 at the Lincoln Theater.

Ken Melvoin-Berg Presents.... 
As the curtains open again, medium and psychic detective Ken Melvoin-Berg takes the stage to present an authentic attempt to make contact with the spirit of Houdini -- and with any other spirits that may be lingering within the confines of the haunted Lincoln Theater!  This dramatic and nerve-shattering session is not for the faint of heart and children are not recommended for this event! There is no guarantee that any contact will be made, but if it does -- it will be a séance that you will not soon forget! The management accepts no responsibility for the possible effect on your mental health! Attend at your own risk!

Special Admissions & After Hours Events:

Stage Seating During the Séance: A limited number of participants will be allowed seats on the stage during the actual séance, conducted by Ken Berg. They will be the closest to any of the events that occur and will have a first-hand experience that they won't soon forget. Seating on the stage will be sold on a first come / first served basis and will be strictly limited. Make your reservations early to guarantee one of these coveted spots. Included in the VIP Deluxe and Ghost Packages!

Late-Night Ghost Hunt: Join us after the evening events for a late-night ghost hunt that goes in search of the spooks in this 1916 vaudeville theater. Is it as haunted as people claim? Did the evening's séance "stir up the ghosts"? Find out for yourself and continue on with what may be the scariest Halloween of your life! Spots for the ghost hunt are limited and will be be filled on a first come / first served basis. Make your reservations early to get one of the spots! Included in All 3 Special Packages!
